AK Design Collaborative - Insignia-Class Economy Speakers (a.k.a Indignia)

Have people quit building Indignias?:scratch2: I'm looking into this as my next project so I might have to keep this thread going. Sure be nice to have some company:yes:

Well I have mine, and they are listened to for several hours a day.

They continue to impress me - an incredible little speaker.

So no need to build for me... but everyone should have a pair of these.
 
I was planning on building the KIT around the Insubnia prototype (as soon as Mindignia is optimized)....

But I just noticed the Incentria is a 4-Ohm speaker...will this cause any problems with a 6-Ohm rated A/V Receiver? Ordinarily I would say it is no problem (esp at reasonable volumes), but this package will be a gift, and I'm not sure how crazy they would get w/ the volume control...

I'm building a pair of Indignias for the wife. She wants something small to flank her HDTV (it's got crappy internal speakers). I'll pick up an inexpensive HT receiver to power them.

:yes: I was planning on starting on my Realistic MC-1000's (inspired by BmWr75) by now. But something told me I had to get an HH Scott 222C working after I just rebuilt my ADC 303a's. I gots to have everything working before I have everything working 'better'.

I'm lovin' the Ewaves, so now I need a pair of Indignias for the office. Figure the smaller box size would be an easier first speaker cabinet project as well.

Indignias and Scott 222C is a super combination! :tresbon:
 
Well, I brought my Indiginias to the Rochester NY meet today. Several more AKers have now been exposed to these fine speakers.

I know they were well received. I encourage (once again) anyone with any interest in an easy DIY speaker to go and build yourself a pair.

Now go do it !!

They were well received at NorCal DIY last fall, as well, holding the audience spellbound for the last demo cut.

[I suspect the spontaneous applause that erupted afterward was for them, not me.... ;) ]
 
Yes I enjoyed Tiver's Indignias at the Rochester meet. Very impressive for their size and cost.

Tiver did an outstanding job on those hand made cabs :yes:

Gorgeous wood. Thanks Tiver :thmbsp:
 
after spending some time reading this thread... :)

as far as cabinets go... these here are 36 dollars a pair, shipped...

they are .36 cu/ft though, instead of .38... would this be ok?

edit: after looking closer, i don't think the woofer will fit... they are only 7 inches wide... darn... plus it's early on a monday, and i don't think i calculated the volume correctly...

Sorry guys, I've been out of circulation for a bit and haven't been checking in. I'll make it a point in the next couple of days to drag out the Incentria and run an impedance curve on it.

I'll get the XO's done on the Mindignias and get the drivers in so I can try them out. They're still ugly as they got back-burnered (can you verbify that?) but they'll make noise.

Edit: Ok, I got around to half of it. Looks like it dips a hair below 4 ohms...around 3.8. I would think a 6ohm capable amp wouldn't have a problem with that. If it's limited to an 8 ohm nominal load then you might have issues.
