DIY Compact 10" 2-Way PA Speakers

[@jamegumb7298]

DIY, compact and PA parts. Perfect. For my desktop. Something about the way PA plays for movie/games that cannot be beat. Dynamically they are king as far as I am concerned.

[@DonnyTerek]

Very well said.

[@tommywilliamsjr.697]

You nailed it. I built some speakers from DIYSG for my HT and they're 98 db sensitivity. Dynamics are huge without massive power requirements.

[@jamegumb7298]

@@tommywilliamsjr.697 I had to dump the 15 inch woofers due to space and stuff (also 1 broke in a move), but there never was a lack of clarity or reserve. I had them new when BF2 came out, and they stuck with me until not too long ago. Have smaller stereo ones now with ribbons. Meh. Found this video perusing the web on the prowl for a design with compression drivers. But size and power and weight, I pulled out the 1U amp and wanted to stay with that, so now have to decide surround with phantom centre or simple LCR. These do look tempting... But thinking I will start with 2× the Obelix-S from K+T 2013/06, modified the design slightly. Should be a good fit on a smaller desk.

[@JoelHernandez-tz3vk]

Wonder if 10" is a great middleground for creating high undistorted SPL while not having a big directivity mismatch with the compression driver, while the compression driver is also crossed high enough to play undistorted. Specially since I'll cross into a subwoofer anyway.

[@inflamerss]

Это просто охренительно, всегда мечтал заниматься такой работой в порядке хобби, а еще лучше зарабатывать этим на жизнь. Шикарный подход, за пропаянные контакты, самодельный фильтр и распорки в корпусе колонок просто огромный респект.

Really liked the way you built the crossover into a wood base instead of a PCB. Really nice. I have the same speakers but 12" -crossover cut at 1,5Khz

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks! I may try building myself the 12" pair one day.

[@markdos1538]

Maravillas!!! Cuando niño hice uno solo similar, de 8", con un parlante Philips de una radio antigua, con grandes detalles. Faltó lijar. Cuando Joven hice un par con dos Woofer Saba de 10," menos detalles. Revestidos con papel madera. Hoy tengo unos Technics (90's), y unos vintage Pioneer Cs822. Ambos de 12" Pero este par,...es un sueño hecho realidad. 👍👍🇨🇱

[@DonnyTerek]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@williamclarius7072]

A very nice well put together project. However I can't see how you can say 1000 watt handling power , When the horn has a max power of 20 watts and the woofer has a max of 300 watts. Please explain.

[@thomasschafer7268]

des. Nonsense. 250watt Löwe. 50watt high.

[@TheSimonarne]

peak power is usually a bogus marketing number that is close to where the speaker destroys itself or the coils burn up. maybe its a teoretical max. i dont see this peak number anywhere on the product websites. i assume its 1000w peak both speakers combined. in this video on the test part they used a 100w amp so nowhere near the 100w target

[@williamclarius7072]

I have built my cabs to house a 15in woofer an 8in midbass and a super tweeter all of the individual speakers are rated to handle over 600 watts but my crossover is rated at 300 watts so if I give more power than the crossover can handle they turn into a large paper weight

[@TheSimonarne]

yeah i dont know enough about crossovers to know how much this one can handle. i saw some wattages and stuff but i dont know how much each individual component would be hit with the load i guess. then again this setup was hitting what 50w per channel probably wont blow up. if they would hook up the amp i'm using wich is the Behringer KM1700 800w at 4 ohm per channel there might be some smoke or broken parts i guess. mine are 1700w mono for use with subwoofers that i havent gotten to yet.

[@williamclarius7072]

I'm running a Yamaha m-80 amp that will put out just over 300 watts per speaker per channel, after there was work done on it and with my amp set up to just below clipping I can't turn up the pre-amp to 4 before it is so loud stuff starts to fall off the walls

[@markmarcel7619]

Большие динамики надо крепить изнутри, через пробковое кольцо, приклеенное к корпусу динамика, для гашения лишних колебаний на корпус колонки.

[@robinledowski9920]

really nice build but why the ultra cheap plastic handles? They will likely only degrade the sound from the otherwise nice speaker.

[@kennethgalbraith]

Not bad only two things I would have done differently is bought some powder coated screws and made the box from 3/4 mdf instead of plywood

Hello, thank you. I actually haven't tested the speakers on more stable stands, which is a good idea to test, thank you.

[@gino3286]

@@DonnyTerek hi i think the problem is more in the tweeter Even tiny movement of the box varies the point of source of sound of the tweeter It's like shooting having a little parkinsonism In the end your speaker are really excellent and very good looking as well In my little room i don't need all this power but I will think about it thanks again and kind regards gino

[@michasy2221]

Good day sir what kind of paint that you used in your project? the clear liquid whats that?

[@justins.1283]

Great work on those but with the specs on those drivers and the crossover Id limit the amplifier to 120-140w RMS each cabinet unless you like replacing drivers.

[@DonnyTerek]

Thanks! The amplifier I was using can only output 50W per channel.

[@childishtombino1275]

A 200wpc amp is ideal. LF driver is 150wRMS and the HF is 20wRMS, that gives you 180w of total RMS handling, in theory. It does depend on how loud you intend on driving them, but the weaker the amplifier, the less dynamic range you'll have and the higher the chance you will clip the output stage, which is worse than having a slight overload on power. If you choose to add positive EQ to these speakers, you will run out of headroom with a 50w amplifier very quickly, especially with lower frequencies. Just because it would be a 200w amplifier, doesn't mean it will be going full send as that isn't how audio works.

[@chaeyoung8908]

@@childishtombino1275 having double the power of an amp is ideal to make it work the best and also have more power

[@childishtombino1275]

@@chaeyoung8908 I agree, stressing amps is not great, so having the headroom is a win.

What do these sound like compared to a "hi fi" speaker? I want to try a 10-12" system on my (real nice) home stereo but all the "hi fi" options are 6" or at best 8"

[@sc0or]

It sounds very dynamic (as all high SPL equipment). With a good horizontal and partially vertical dispersion it will be a great loudspeaker. With feeding it with 0.1W its distortions will be less than ScanSpeak or Purifi offer for 10W at a same SPL level

[@SuperOrchidoclaste]

Perhaps a metal protective grid on Woofer ? 😊😊😊!!!

Would be nice but I was not able to source a decent looking grill for the size of these speakers.

[@seppemorin9512]

I want to build these speakers, but how is the quality and loudness of the speakers. Because the ports seem very short. So whats the experience using the speakers. Cause €600 is a lot of money for me

[@DonnyTerek]

It is actually hard for me to help you decide since these were the first PA speakers that I built. The price tag to build a pair of these is quite high compared to what you can get off the shelf but I do like the sound quality. I paired these with the Behringer A800 and I do like the crisp highs and the wide soundstage. Was expecting a bit more bass from these but they are tuned to 80Hz with the port length as in the design. I think you could make yourself a relatively inexpensive pair of these if you can source cheaper crossover components (I paid over $100 for mine) and build the enclosures yourself.

[@TheMatsushitaMan]

150Wrms woofer, 40Wrms tweeter. 1000W peak? Probably less than half

[@Tappits84]

Yer, More like if you actually gave them 150w per side they would fry. "yer my setup is like 1000w man" ok so why has your amp only got a 5amp fuse then? paper numbers.

[@thomasschafer7268]

should have kept the ports longer for deeper bass

[@mrdali67]

Nice build .. but hardly a "PA" speaker with that LF driver 😉

[@killernils]

How low do they play? Can i use one of these and make it a bluetooth speaker?

[@DonnyTerek]

They play down to 85Hz so you might need to use longer ports for lower bass range.
