In Reply to: RE: TREBLE & BASS ONLY SETUP (NO MID-RANGE) posted by richardsonrenee862@gmail.com on February 01, 2017 at 08:27:16
I get incredibly annoyed when someone asks an out of the box question and is presented with the typical "that's stupid you can't do it" responses.I'm surprised so many, who are really cool guys on here are doing that. Come on fellas, the guy is wanting to try out something that sounds insane but I'm going to assume he has his own reasons for doing it! I've certainly been there and although it often results in disaster, sometimes it's been a great success. Help the guy out.
RICHARD... RICHARDSON? RENEE?
I don't know that you want to go crazy spending the big bucks until you've tested the theory of your "NOMID" (trademarked) speakers.
My suggestion is to get some decent used speakers on craigslist or a thrift, three way speakers if you get lucky, and a used sub. Then just remove the midrange element by pulling the clips out of the back (usually you can take the cone out of the box by removing 4 screws and then it's easy to pull the spade lugs off the back of the midrage driver.) This way you're not trashing a speaker because after your experiment is done you can easily push the spade lugs back on.
The crossover in the speaker will route only the high and low to the remaining two drivers and you won't blow anything. Also you don't have to EQ anything out. The sub will filter anything higher than 80hz out anyway and the woofer in the speaker will handle stuff above 100 up to whatever the crossover allows through.
I think this approach will at least get you where you want to be without spending $900 on something you're not sure you're going to like. Later if it works you can build your custom speaker with high end components.
And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post pictures

Thx so much for this!! I definitely don't wanna blow out my speakers! Also I don't have a receiver yet, what would you suggest for my tweeters only/compact subwoofer setup? Or do I really need 1 if i'm just using them for my computer?? Like is there a way to connect them to my computer without a receiver???
Not really. You need to amplify your audio signal. I haven't noticed where you live but I really think Craigslist is going to be your friend on this one. Find someone selling a cheap receiver (unless you already have one) and connect your computer to it. This whole experiment shouldn't cost more than $100 to put together. Best part is that if you don't destroy everything you can just sell the stuff again and get most or all of your money back.
And please let us know how it goes. :)

That's all good, when the question is in the areas of art/advertising/creativity.
But the OP's post was about having a pair of speakers which make his music sound great ON THOSE SPEAKERS, and for recording to be played back on OTHER speakers. Clearly, the music will sound much different. Who doesn't get that?

I am with you. But sometimes it's good to find out for yourself.Telling the guy to cease and desist, and I know you're just trying to look out for him, isn't enough.
I think if he is able to get the setup built and is able to listen to it and THEN is able to take whatever he created and play it back on a friend's system and get some real world experience he will be the better for it.
LOL. He will probably find an old speaker that no one wants, you know, like an AR1 and some dusty old receiver that's so old it doesn't even have transistors. All for only $10!
And besides... who knows? Maybe in 2 years "The NoMid" (patent pending) speaker will be all the rage at the club. If it doesn't make sense then it's real rock and roll right?
