I'm a newbie and this is my first post, so be gentle. I've decided to build (for fun) a set of speakers. I'd appreciate your thoughts and opinions. I was in college in the 70s when JBl 88s reigned supreme, and always had JBL or Altec speakers in my guitar amps. I'm a retro kind of guy and have a soft spot for JBLs. I'll use a Phase Linear power and preamp with the speakers.
I have LE-5-2 mids and LE26 tweeters. I'm considering Infinity Kappa Perfect 12s for the subs. I've a couple design options. 1) Build a seperate sub enclosure with the two Kappa and then build two satellite enclosures for the mids and tweeters. 2) Build two enclosures to hold a sub, mid, and tweeter.
Then there is the choice of sealed or ported enclosures for the sub.
I'm looking for bone crushing bass and bright high freqs that will shatter the windows. I listen to Pink Floyd, Super Tramp, Doobie, Eagles, etc. and not at loud volumes.
Any thoughts??
