hello, how are you doing?
Yes, a long time ago i bought these Ciare Full range speakers, thinking one day I would build there: Dacapo
I dont have workshop, and I am no handyman, so difficult for me to build these, but now I have got some work done 🙂
also this site about these open baffle got my motivation going Open Baffle con Ciare CH250
Trying to be creative and build my own design, well...wel...
Yesterday I had the prototype up against the wall, I was going to make sure that the speakers was allright efter been lying in a store room for some years, so I plug them in to a 100W chinese amp. Well, well, what can I say, is sounds like they have "a cold" no bass at all. At low volumes its worse, but when I crank up the volume something is happening - soundstage is good, piano, voices, etc...like a typical full range, but no bass :-( there is allso some distortion, but maybee my connections and the amp is not the right kind for this speaker. Im thinking I dont want to live without the bass from a speaker, so - what to do about it? yeah the baffle is too narrow, 40cm, but I have a small living room. Maybee someting in the middel to make the wide about 60 cm? I had allso been looking at the decware nfx enclosure DECWARE / High Efficiency speaker model NFX, hmm... too difficult for me, but maybee something like that.

...my original plan was to build it very simple, a full range driver modified, no crossover, maybee the amp direct on the driver, so no speaker cable...
The baffle isn't wide enough to get any bass. The front wave is cancelling out the back wave.
Open baffles are meant to be used away from the wall.
The Dacapo project you posted shows -8db at 90hz even with some kind of filter and it still has no bass.
Here is a very simple open baffle that should improve bass.

Check Breezer cabinet with Seas FA22RCZ drivers.
Its bih enough for your Ciares and you will get some deacent bass. If thats to complicated you can design your own simplified version with square footprint.

Around 22 years ago when I was at a family holiday in Milano I listened to a pair in tqwt cabinets from a company called sound of the valve,I loved them so much so I bought a pair to use in my bedroom ,they had decent bass around 50 hz f3
I just did the google machine and found it
Apostrophè
They really worked well with my 45 and 300 b amps I was building
Have fun
