Zilch's AK Design Collaborative - Econowave Speaker

Is this where I sign up to build some of these dudes? I have a pair of old Dorian cabs with marble tops that I'd like to use if possible. They are currently loaded with LE14s (new surrounds by Army), and the old potatoe masher horns. That was the original stuff, and I can't remember the crossover number, but I went through them too. What would I need to buy, or would these cabs not work.

How many cubic feet are those Dorian cabs?

Zilch, If you don't mind can you answer a few questions for me.1) How does the crossover change if you use a 4ohm speaker with the 8ohm crossover. 2) how will this effect the final load on the amp. I have a pair of 4ohm Infinity Beta 8 inch woofers made for car audio that I would like to try with the E-waves. Thanks
 
1) How does the crossover change if you use a 4ohm speaker with the 8ohm crossover.
Look back to the parts list link, and you'll find we spec'd for 4-Ohm lowpass as well as 8 and 16 Ohms.

2) how will this effect the final load on the amp.
They'll draw more current for the same SPL. Use an amp rated for 4-Ohm operation, and you should be fine.

Should work.... :thmbsp:
 
I'm interested in the 4 0hm lowpass version myself- where can I find that parts list? (330 posts- geez!)

330 pages, actually.

As Rosso says, all of the info needed to E'Wave is linked in the first post of the thread.

The rest is E'Wavers sharing information and their individual experiences with the project.... :thmbsp:
 
Well you guys have got me thinking about that B&C driver...

While I am at it why don't I upgrade my woofer to the 2226H as well?:D

Is anyone else using the 2226H, and if so what are your cabinet volume and port size?

I know you will tell me to download that speaker software, but I have a Mac, so I can't use it unfortunately.:tears:
 
Thanks Zilch, it even shows me how to pack it for shipment!

I would like lower low end extension than 40hz, however. I suppose I would
need a Kelvinator size box for that to happen. Maybe I'll stick with the trusty
LE14A and just try out the B&C driver for now.
 
Plugging one of the ports in 4507 retunes it to ~34 Hz, as I recall.

Apply some EQ to 2226H and it will play down there; it certainly has the power-handling capacity to handle that in home use.... :thmbsp:

So 2226 can go high enough to use in a two way-ve?
 
Hi Z, do you know anyone that has used -I will try to discribe - the double waveguide that takes a cone driver for mid or mid bass and the CD on top. It is a JBL thing...I think. I really like the looks of that thing and would like to investigate it further. Maybe that on top and a JBL 2245 under it??? Thanks in advance. Cheers.
 
Yes, I have the version with the 8" or 10" midrange and phase plug, and Jack is working with the same using straight 104H-1 as the mid, as I recall.

Jack's gotten further along with this than me, so send him a PM and ask for an update.

On mine, the mid was incredibly efficient in preliminary testing, and I have to set up tri-amp to work with it more.... :yes:

No, just install 2235H in the same box, Zilch plug 1 or 2 ports depending on prefferences, and you're there.
