Hello,
A model of my DIY loudspeakers i have served Ti6k- JBL. My first contact with
them, was in distant 2005.
I started working with them in 2009 and finished in 2012.
The loudspeakers are "SEAS"- Excel / Tw-1”, Mw-5”for center 2х 5.5”,Bass-8,5”/ and cross-over parts- "Intertechnik".

Nominal impedance- 8 OhFreguency Range 30Hz-20kHzCharacterstic Sensitivity(2,83V/1m)- 87db
Long Term-110W.
Here are a pictur, if there is interest i will continue.

WOW! If cabinet work was a reliable indication of sound - those would be fantastic sounding! Seriously, I'm sure they do sound fantastic as well - great driver selection at least. Great job! They definitely seem like a labor of love.

I salute both your design talent and your patience and dedication. I would say those could easily be put in a room at an audio show with a five-figure price tag on them - and no one would even question it... in fact, assuming they measure well also - you'd probably have some people asking what volumes you could ship them in! :)

Yeah...that's a lot nicer than I was expecting! You should be very proud of those beauties!
Nicely thought out and very very impressive work.

Gorgeous!

Thank you for appreciating my work! In fact, with these quality speakers, any more advanced DIYer would handle it.Thank you for appreciating my work! In fact, with these quality speakers, any more advanced DIYer would handle it.

This is excellent work. I've made a few speakers in my time but never anything this nice.

How did you design the crossover? LspCAD in 2005 I'd imagine?

Check out VituixCAD if you haven't already.

What do you have now? Seems a shame you don’t have them anymore, but hopefully you’re about to show us your current speakers which are equally impressive!

Thanks!
Measurements were taken at a DIY-lab at a friend of mine who is no longer between us, God forgive him!
I'll show you how I do measurements in at present at the right time.
