diyAudio reference speaker project
I truly agree great threads never really die. Let me introduce myself. I'm from the Malaysian state of Sarawak located on Borneo Island. I've been following this thread since the year 2008 when I first ordered the Vifa P13WH-00-08 and D27TG-35-06 from Parts Express. I built the 9.5 litres enclosures and used only the 5uF on the tweeter initially. Wasn't too happy with the sound back then, but family obligations got the better of my time as my 2 kids were of school going age.Fast forward 10 years later and my interest in building speakers was rekindled with more spare time on my hands. I built Paul Carmody's Amiga in 2018 and during the lock-down of 2021, I built the Overnight Sensations and OSTMM as well. Was blown away with the sound of these designs and my confidence in DIY speaker building was bolstered as well.
3 years ago, I built ML-TQWT cabinets based on the Fostex FX120 for the P13WH-00-08 and D27TG-35-06 as I felt they needed a new housing and I wanted to see whether I was able to squeeze more bass from the new cabinets. I experimented with parallel crossover designs but was not too happy with them. Recently, I built the AR series crossover, but with a 33uF capacitor in place of the 22uF capacitor. It's unbelievable how much better the ML-TQWT design with these Vifa drivers sound!
I must thank everyone for your input all these years to come up with a great project! God bless.
