$28 worth of parts, re-cycled cabinet materials, lousy plot, great sound

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

OK, I'm sure if I took them from PC rig downstairs to the good stuff, they'd be on the edge of suck. But the result with $5 PE closeout Peerless India 8" and $2.50 Philips domes is just amazing. Moreso because the cabinets are made from nearly hollow core cheap-ass bookshelf material I salvaged.

Best I could get from WinISD was with a 1.3 cu ft box tuned to 38Hz

The best part is the materials

and less than 10 bucks in the 1st order crossover.

No, really the best part is the tone and texture I'm getting playing from my D drive through Windows Media Player. So this is how speaker designers get great sound and big prices from cheap drivers? LOL
