Hi Troels
I checked my crossovers and they're ok. I
fixed the polyester damping so that it wraps from side to side behind
the JA8008 and now it sound MUCH MUCH better! The muddiness is gone!
Now that I fixed this problem, I've spent some
time to listen and it sounds really great! I'm not good at "audio speak"
but my best description is that the sound is very rich, full, with very
realistic presence and presentation. The bass is low but not
unrealistically booming, the treble is not too bright, and the midrange
is very peasant. It was a lot of work to build these but it was worth
it!
I attached a few pics to show my work
I used 24mm baltic birch for the sides, rear,
and top. Two layers of 15mm baltic birch were laminated for the front
and solid maple was used for the front panel fillets, and to cover
plywood ends at the top of the cabinet. 18mm baltic birch was used for
internal panels.
Thank you so much for making these designs
public and for answering so many of my questions along the way!!
