(AU) economical bits to buy for first DIY speaker

[rthorntn]

These Wavecor drivers are particularly good :https://www.soundlabsgroup.com.au/p/Wavecor-Mid-Woofer-WF168WA02.html,
I'd suggest an MTM with these tweeters: https://www.theloudspeakerkit.com/ne25vts-04-vifa-1-dome-neodymium-tweeter
Total driver cost ~$480.

Thanks, just checking was this recommendation based around a ported or sealed design?

I use them sealed, with a 2x6" (Jaycar) .5 way woofer. Mine are an older version with a non-round frame. I have used them ported in the past.

Thanks, what is a "2x6" (Jaycar) .5 way woofer" then?

 

[PeteMcK]

re:'"2x6" (Jaycar) .5 way woofer" - it's a pair of (no longer available) Jaycar woofers in a 60L BR box, connceted to the Wavcor MTM with a single inductor.
The low end is ideal for my 4x5 m. space.

Out of curiosity, what was your experience with dac8x and camilladsp?

I'm approaching this starting with an RPi5 & 8-ch DAC (DAC8X), I'll use CamillaDSP.
