DIY Center Speaker, 2 Way Crossover Build and 4 Speaker Wiring

[@michau_12]

Very helpful, am building my own floor standing speakers, with 4 (6 1/2) bas/midle tone speakers. Thank you for showing how to connect them in the right way, to get 8 ohm in total.

[@wasnietak3384]

Anup Sastry \../ I was thinking what you gonna play as a demo, perfect choice

[@chrclmnky]

This guy rocks!

[@damyxn]

very awesome im trying to make a speaker for my engineering class this is a good resource!

[@oplkfdhgk]

omg thank you for showing that 4 midbass desing :D i was just thinking how to make center speaker with the same impedance as my front speakers :D

[@oplkfdhgk]

for some reason i was only thinking 2 midbass desing :D

[@oplkfdhgk]

Or should i just put 2 midbass in series and let the added cone area add + 3 db? And -3db from the increased impendance ? Or are my calculations wrong?

[@NicB-Creations]

Those drivers look very very similar to Visaton FRS8 drivers. For better off axis response I'd recommend a horizontally curved front baffle and putting the tweeter up higher then the mid drivers. This should reduce the beaming effect you get from the current design.

[@mariabuligan892]

Nice build Sir. Planning to do this later. Keep it up

[@chrclmnky]

Cool, thanks

[@leswhite3524]

Dang fine piece of functional furniture ya built there! I don't need to know how to use power tools or build a box. I need to know how to wire up a diy bass guitar cabinet with a horn and crossover to push air at 4Ω Imma go out on a limb here and assume that the size and power and impedance is somewhat irrelevant as long as your target impedance can be met by the wiring. This is basically the same as if I were to build a 4x10 with horn and crossover for a bass guitar cabinet 4Ω at the point of power. Right? Dang! That you drumming? That's my gig but I wanna slap de bass also!

[@Nanduchandu3637]

Nice sound sir, I hv a doubt, what is the software u r using for box design and what is that 4400 HZ frequency ur using...and also u didn't show the back side connections of cross-over ckt..

[@chrclmnky]

Hello Nandu. Sorry for the limited information about this project. Just use crossover calculators when you build your projects.

[@jonathanpinders.r.5627]

Is it on a center channel on the receiver or a left/right? I know it a center sound bar I built on similar but have it 2on left and 2on right no center tweeter just 4- 6 1/2" coaxial speakers on a L/R 2 channel amp great job though 👍

[@chrclmnky]

Thanks Jonathan. This speaker can be re-wired for a left and right configuration but the tweeter can be only on left or right. You can build something similar and install two tweeters for a more flexible speaker feature.

[@a0r0a7]

Another great job CM👍

[@chrclmnky]

Thanks Andy

[@junaidaziz4612]

In diagram you have in video. Green line (wire) connect with speaker's +terminal on left side but on the right side same wire is connected with - terminal of speakers. I dont get understand? Kindly guide Thanks

[@MrCcarter7]

Nice build man. Sounds great.

[@chrclmnky]

Thanks Chris.

[@fantasticspastic3766]

Get drok speakers, they are better... put the bass port where the Tweeter is... put the Tweeter on top or below it, if that makes sense. But either way have the bass port facing with it ( gives a little extra thump). and use MDF next time. Other than that I have to say it looks good!

[@chrclmnky]

Yes sir thank you.

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

It probably sounds just fine, but I never liked those plastic tweeters. I like metallic domes the most, but they can be a bit expensive. These are okay if you are on a budget. The mid-woofers actually look good.

[@chrclmnky]

Yes sir thanks very much for the feedback. Newbies like me still have a lot to learn. 🤓

ganda neto boss sana madali lng gawin yang crossover

[@BossJay85]

Sir i need some guide... I have an 8inch 200w sub woofer... What components do i need to build?

[@chrclmnky]

A fresh sheet of MDF or plywood, some basic tools and that's it.

[@NicB-Creations]

4400hz has a wavelenght of 7.8cm or roughly 3.1". Considering your drivers are 3" in diameter and also spaced out a bit there is no way they are within 1 wavelenght center to center at the crossover frequency. This will cause intermodulation isseus with peaks and nulls as you move around. You need to cross overa lot lower for this and most likely second order unless your tweeter has a very low self resonant frequency (like below 1k at minimum). I also doubt bass reflex does much good with 4 drivers in that box. What frequency did you tune for? Might be better of closed, and braced. Also 4 horizontal drivers create a line array which will cause beaming and a narrow sweetspot with your tweeter beaming in the middle. You can improve this with a series lowpass over the 2 outside driver (I'd suggest first order at 300hz,all you need is 2 caps) Whenever possible install the tweeter above the center of the other speakers in a center channel. This will give you a much better high frequency dispersion. Good luck 😉

[@chrclmnky]

Nice. I appreciate the feedback. Will do. Thanks.

[@p3ras1983]

Thank you for answer, i'm still learning about this so i will use a 1order like you in the video. Keep up with a good work!

[@pravardhanus]

Your calculation for the low pass (woofer) is wrong as you have connected four 8 ohms woofers in parallel. So the effective impedance will be 2 ohms for the inductor calculation.

[@chrclmnky]

Parallel - series. Look closely .

[@marentesvic65]

Hi you used mid range speaker,can I buy the cross over some where?, thank you
