Iyan ang hinahap ko for my planned desk. Saan mayroon niyan?

eto ung site nila sir,

nag mail n ako wla pang reply

[deist]

Maganda yan bro & very stiff, less wall resonance. medyo pricey nga lang...go for at least 18mm thickness.

contemplating on the materials of my next project.
ok kaya ito as an enclosure?

engineered bamboo

[fredreadrick]

bro deist,
no feedback yet from the supplier but from their site looks like di naman mahal gaano.
1200x600x12mm =P700
just one of my option.

Actually medyo mahal rin, kung icocompute mo siya na parang 4x8' (standard size of regular plywood, aabot ito ng halos P3000, which is the price of 3 regular plywood na.

Medyo mahal nga, but it is very beautiful.

Sir Deist, ito ba yung ginamit mong wood for your Markaudio Alpair10P enclosure?

UPDATE: Actually yung binabanggit kong price ng regular plywood is for the 3/4" variant. Yung bamboo plywood pala na quoted price is for 1/2" variant. Mahal nga!

[deist]

Hindi sir. Ang ginamit ko is engineered solid wood from Pateco. I was able to get it on sale sa Home Depot, total cost for the pensils 3.5K

Bro, medyo manipis yang 12mm esp if you will use it in a big enclosure for your AN. magiging prominent ang wall resonance & the stability of the structure will be compromised (if without internal bracing).

Diest are there half inch thick dark wood panels at Home Depot? I need it for a 34.5" x 34.5" table.

[deist]

Meron bro but I'm not sure kung meron single cut ng size requirement mo. I forgot the name of the shop but it is inside Home Depot Alabang.

Cool. I'll check out Home Depot here.

sir, pwede cut to size, i mean customized po...

[Gino]

Aba. Excited na ako. Pero tamad he he.

Oh ok thanks. Ganda kasi ng gawa mo e, parang gusto kong gumawa ng isang box na ganyan din ang wood na ginamit

[deist]

Thanks sir.tag team naman kami ni suking karpintero sa paggawa 

Pero kung may makikita kang engineered bamboo na medyo makapal mas maganda yun. Parang hardwood stiffness nun.

mga sir, anyone here have tried the phaser full range speaker? i saw one in deeco and its cheap mura, it has a weezer cone in it, maybe it could be a good driver for a full ranger project. thanks

[Gino]

Kung mura eh di bilhin mo na. Report back.

[tony]

Dai-Ichi is OEM for so many branded speakers, Martin Logan is one, bantay sarado nga lang ng ML engineers ang production lines....

transfer of technology is inevitable....

[wufei]

master tony, brand ba ng dai ichi yung phaser speakers? thank you

master tony, brand ba ng dai ichi yung phaser speakers? thank you

i would think so...
kung magagawi ka sa Daichi sa megamall, you can talk to John, he will tell you more...

[wufei]

I was thinking of doing that, mahal lang kasi magpagawa ng baffle enclosure, di ko din alam kung ano suitable enclosure kaya baka may nakagamit na dito, which is mukhang wala pa. will give it a try and will report back what I have found out

Kung mura eh di bilhin mo na. Report back.

Hi guys!  Im planning to build a DIY speaker. My friend, who has a furniture business will guide me with box making.

Can anyone recommend a diy bookshelf speaker model?  My budget is around 15k-20k (parts only, box cost not included).  I can order online and ship it to my tito who is coming home this July.

Kasya kaya sa budget pag may ribbon tweeter?

Model or type depends on what use of it. For music I suggest to look for dipole type if you don't want to dip in OB building. for HT use check what is available in the local market. You will be fine with it.

I would recommend Mark Audio full range drivers.

You can purchase the drivers in the US, Singapore and other countries.

Good luck!

Yup, mainly for music.

Wow, the various designs for Mark Audio are mind boggling! 

What are the disadvantages of a fullrange driver as opposed to the standatd woofer / tweeter combo.

[Gino]

Disadvantage of some full range speakers:

1) Limited effective range that depends on each model of full range speaker. Some may need a sub or bass unit and or a super tweeter. Not all.

2) The notch in response typically produced by some full range speakers that have whizzer cones. Some describe this as shouting mids.

Advantage: No crossovers. You get full details produced by your amp (if it's highly resolving)

Well designed full range drivers, or more appropriately...wide band drivers, have no problems at all. My discontinued Fostex FE167E wide band speaker sounds very good but needs help with bass.  I added  super tweeters for presence and a sub for impact.

add Audio Nirvana to your list sir I assure you it will not dissappoint. Try to audition it, there are many AN users here in PDVD already. I for one can accommodate you if you are near the Marikina area . I no longer need the help of a powered sub as these babies already sounded as if it has a sub and speaker placement is not difficult, it has a very wide sweet spot

[JoeyGS]

My current Mark Audio speaker does not need a sub-woofer (for most music genre) similar to 2to3-way speakers.  And what's nice is you do not need crossovers as this components "eat" the life out of music

Suggest to listen to members with this type of speakers before deciding.

[audiojunkie]

A well design multi drivers will produce greater details and clarity of music. Less distortion for every each drivers, not force to produce frequency almost to their break-up limit.

agreed, but requires a lot of effort and engineering not required by full rangers....again YMMV..
the thing to do is audition, audition and more audition before you make up your mind...

[audiojunkie]

Sa PBB gusto ko audition...
