My friend and I tried  AN 8"  in a backloaded horn designed for lowthers. Forgot the specific design. With ANs, sound is very thin.

You can copy the voxativ look but make it a BR or TL instead.
thank you sir sa info, i guess sa look lang pwede gayahin kung AN...

Nice cabinets with fresh design!

But just a few questions comes to mind. Does not the imaging suffer considering magkalayo ang dalawang drivers playing the same frequencies? (I'm assuming no crossover). I'm sure there will be comb filtering problems with drivers spaced this wide apart. If the room is BIG maybe hindi detrimental sa SQ. I maybe wrong.

Add to this additional reflections that the upper drivers contribute to the overall sound when we take the room into consideration (which 'might' be solved by room treatments).

Definitely SPL will increase but at the expense of imaging, IMHO.

as far as what I'm hearing right now e it sounds very right. Maybe you can pay me a visit sometime and have a listen for you to answer your questions :). My room is pretty small but somehow partially treated. Its not just the SPL that increased but the overall performance of the speaker and I don think imaging will suffer because to my hearing it is perfect. Comb filtering I dont hear any accurate nga sya e or maybe nabibingi na ako hehehe ;D

@remington - how did you come up with the enclosure design? what calculator or simulator did you use?

thanks master pero hindi lang sa salita mas maganda pakinggan hehehe

@remington - how did you come up with the enclosure design? what calculator or simulator did you use?
it just came up to mind because I was aiming for the ambience type of enclosure so instead of putting it on top I asked my friend who made it to make the upper part slanted so that the top driver will not only serves as an ambience driver but a main speaker as well because I will be making it in a bi-ampable type of speaker. No calculator nor science in this build because I personally believe that in audio we should always trust our ears not the numbers because at the end of the day I will be the one who will use it and will listen to it ;D and besides that is what DIY is all about di ba? to do what you want and not what others tell you ;) matigas kasi ulo ko hindi ako marunong sumunod sa iba :D, I just upgraded the size of my previous box because I heard xbase's AN box almost similar to the size of this box and it sounds spectacular thats why I copied it but just a little bit bigger :D

I hate to break this to you bro but science & math are the foundations of this entire hi-fi hullabaloo  ;) The concept, topology, implementation etc involved in designing an audio product are based on these foundations. If there was no science involved in building your speakers then you really defied the odds...as well as the entire concept of audio design hehehe But if you're happy with the results then I'm happy for you. cheers!
