Thanks Richard

I'm now testing with a passive crossover, the Eminence PBX2 500 crossing at 500Hz. it sounds fine except I'm getting crackling at higher volume levels.

Hi Widget

I was playing small rooms, 50 people or so. After a gap of a few years I expect they'll be even smaller :)

I actually have an E130 right here but it took me a long time to find one in...

Holy Necro-thread batman!

Many apologies for waking the dead, but several years on I have finally started this project.

I've initially got the speakers (E110 and 2226H) mounted in separate...

same for the time being.

I am not building a neutral hifi speaker, i’m building something that will sound big and awesome in performance and be fun to play through, only that. i'll sell on the...

yes, i was considering the RV3813. The specs are very good and also very close to the 2226, but in the end I found a very clean used 2226H for rather less than the Volt would cost me.

I now have a NOS E110 (thanks Macaroonie) and mint 2226H. I will pick up the cabinet on Monday and we'll see where we go from there.

If the cab doesn't work i'll find or build one that does. Now...

people of all colours engineered and built the USA. some of them didn't get paid.

Goofy dad is an age old advertising cliché. I don't think it has anything to do with colour.

It stems from the belief that wives/mums make purchase decisions about a lot of segments of household...

has any had experience with Volt speakers? I actually heard about them through the forum but it's pretty much impossible to search for "volt"

Made in UK. Can't find any reviews of the models i'm...

there's another listing with a huge job lob of passive radiators for $75

I have another noob question:

If against More10s advice i do go ahead with this or a related scheme, should I line the main compartment housing the bass speaker? Am I right in thinking it's...

thanks, i hear you. I have indeed thought about just sticking an E130 in here and having a "surf" cab.

I prefer the E series because i don't like the sound of the Ds and the Ks with guitar...

yep, foam surround

E130 doesn't cut it in the low frequencies. it's a mid speaker really. i've had one in the past and i did run it through the ISD to check. Can't really get anything below about...

hi, slight derail. I just ran ISDonline for the 2235 and it looks ideal. Optimal box size is 95lt tuned to 32Hz which matches what i have really well.

Any views on them?

now to find one for...

no, i bought the box used. i liked the look :) This is for onstage use so that's not unimportant.
It's also very well made. Had the original price tag of GBP599 on it and I got it for GBP100.

Hi Lee

The E110 also has a metal dome as do the E120s I'm using at the moment.

The E110 goes a fair bit higher than the the E140 and to be honest i didn't really like the sound of the E140...

no biggie :)

it may be a stupid idea anyway

Hi Lee

thanks for that but I'm working with an existing box so it's more a case of finding a driver to suit it and getting the best i can out of it.

Thanks

Toby

all great info.

i suspect with this box size I'll never plumb the depths anyway. I'd need a huge sub and some 18" driver or hyper modern thing for lots of money.

Various other problems remain...

ok, that's hugely informative, thanks. i'll work that out when i secure the 15" driver and have the xmax figures.

BTW, the 2226 checks out very well with a box size of 90 litres tuned to 52hz....

with Macaroonie's measurements i have no problem with gap behind the ports.

One question: how does it come up with the number of vents as two and with that diameter?

I can obviously get...

Macaroonie, thanks

Using ISD online i found a pretty good curve for a 90 litre box tuned to 50Hz for the 2225H.

I think i can build to those specs with the E110. There is an efficiency...

sorry, i have another noob question if anyone has the time. I expect there will be a few more.

So, i have made things harder for myself by basically trying to design to a box rather than building...

thanks, I will probably sell them then.


The 2225 and 2226 come it at 97db efficiency while the E110 is 98db, which I'm guessing is not enough that can't be compensated for with tone controls.

i just got a quote and it's about €130 to recone the one i have with JBL parts, so they say, so it's not that big a difference.

Is there no love for the M252-8 here since I have two of those on...
