Speaker






This semester I've been designing a pair of speakers. They are a floor-standing (almost 48" tall) and utilize a 2.5 way design, which means that in addition to the normal 2 way design of tweeter and woofer there is an additional woofer that does solely low frequencies.

The drivers I am using consist of the Morel MDT 29 and the Seas L16RN-SL, with a box that is made up of an outer layer of 3/4" Baltic Birch and an inner layer of 1/2" MDF. All told they will weight about 90 lbs.

I think so far they are turning out quite well, the crossover still needs some tweaking, but I can't wait until they are finally finished.
