Ciao a tutti!

Non sono un totale inetto nelle creazioni audio DIY, ma non mi ritengo affatto un esperto! Dopo qualche progetto ed esperimento realizzato in totale autonomia, e di discreta qualità, mi sento abbastanza maturo per cimentarmi nel mio primo piccolo sound system. Voglio mettermi alla prova, imparare e per poi... molto probabilmente, alzare ulteriormente il livello.... (ma questa sarà un'altra storia!)

Ho bisogno di consigli, disegni, diagrammi e progetti per realizzare un piccolo sound system con queste caratteristiche per me TASSATIVE e irrinunciabili: - Configurazione 2.1: 2 canali stereo più 1 canale mono dedicato al subwoofer. - Dimensioni compatte: speaker enclosures facilmente trasportabili in un'auto familiare. - Low cost. - Estetica aggressiva e accattivante. - Documentazione disponibile: disegni quotati, misure, indicazioni tecniche e link a progetti esistenti.

Inoltre, considerando queste esigenze, quale sarebbe secondo voi la configurazione migliore? - Opzione (A): 2 vie per canale (woofer + tweeter) e subwoofer. - Opzione (B): 3 vie per canale (woofer + midrange + tweeter) e subwoofer. - Opzione (C): 1 singolo driver full-range per ogni canale stereo, più subwoofer. - Opzione (D): altre soluzioni eventualmente più adatte.

Apprezzo soprattutto progetti concreti e collaudati, con link, disegni quotati e indicazioni tecniche utili alla realizzazione.

Ringrazio anticipatamente tutti coloro che vorranno darmi una mano!

Hello guys i got this 18 Sound 21lw1400 driver and as You Can See the yellow think i dont exactly know How its called ripped all around you should be able to See the Little gap and i thought in theory i whould be able to just Glue it back together im Not gonna give it its Full power annyway so i dont think it is going to rip do you think this whould be possible?
Thanks for helping :)

Hey guys, doing some digging before I start cutting wood. I'm building my first real system and want to start small and add to it.

Phase 1 is one Cubo Sub (the 18") loaded with a B&C 18TBX100 (8Ω, 6.2Ω min, 1200W nominal / 2400W program) and one Celestion CKT-TF1225 top (8Ω nominal, 6.5Ω min, 250W AES woofer, 400W EIA system). Phase 2 is a second sub and top, and later I want to add Cubo Kick 15s in the middle.

Use is backyard hangs and small gatherings, maybe a festival camp for 30-40 people. Not a concert rig, I just want it to sound good and not be underpowered. I'll run a miniDSP 2x4 HD for crossover/EQ and have a friend helping me tune with a mic. Planning to cross the sub around 80-90Hz and the top above that.

Where I'm stuck is amps. Budget isn't super tight (a few hundred over is fine) but I'd like to keep it in check:

- Crown XLS 2502 (open box, ~$539) for the sub, XLS 1002 for the top(s) later
- Behringer NX3000D (~$339) with the built-in DSP, or an NX4-6000 (~$469) to cover everything with 4 channels
- CVR D-1002 (~$699). A friend says plenty of people run these without issues

What I keep going back and forth on:
- Is the Behringer's listed 440W @ 8Ω real or just peak, and does it matter for a sub at my listening levels?
- Has anyone had Behringer NX amps die on them?
- Would you take the CVR over the Crown for subs?
- Should I use the 4Ω version of the TBX100 to get more out of the amp?

What would you run? Any gotchas with the Cubo Sub + TBX100 combo I should know about? Appreciate any help.

I'd like to build 2x 2-way tops (passive) to be used for small parties while traveling (PA). I am a house (primarily tech house) DJ. Planning to power with a Behringer NX1000D or similar when traveling by plane. Locally, will pair the tops with a sub or 2 that I would also build.

For the top cabs, I'd like to be able to carry them on, one each between my partner and I. Approximate max dimensions (each): 21" x 13" x 8" (this leaves room for padded bags).

Looking for driver recs (10" + 1"?).

I'm also looking for design recs. I'd like the drivers to be visible or have some other neat cabinet design that is both cool looking and functional.

Budget: $1250 but can go higher if I need to. I just don't want to spend a lot more unless I have to.

This will be my first speaker build. Thanks for your expertise!
