What I mean when I say there will be no major builds on this channel is that I'll be posting those on my main channel, where I do full project build videos. When I build a new set of speakers, that full build video will be on my main channel.
On here, I want to concentrate more on the technical, much like I do in this video. So I'll be going through details that won't be in a build video, or prototyping and testing.
Like I said at the beginning of this video, I'm not an expert but I do have a fairly solid background in designing and building speakers. I was heavy into this for several years more than 10 years ago and have forgotten a lot of what I learned at that time. I'll be working to get that back and learn more, but I will make mistakes along the way. So keep that in mind when you watch.
Regarding the tweeters in these speakers, that peaking is likely from a combination of the tweeter quality, poor crossover design and some diffraction. However I've found a replacement pair that are a better match for the woofer, and I'll be installing those with a newly designed crossover in an upcoming video.
