Home High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Happy as a Klam




Well,my day or two turned out to be a week or two,but I built a Klam 10. I used the drivers and crossover from one of my Adire HE10.1 speakers.Eminence Beta 10cx and I believe the commpression driver is a modified APT-50.

I screwed the box together using pocket joints and duct tape gaskets(no glue),so I can take it apart to make adjustments,like increasing back chamber size,and spacing of the wings.


I've been listening to it for a while now,still not quite sure of what to think. Is sounds good in some respects,but not so good in others.
The response is better than I expected it to be,but there is a large peak between 100-300 hz,which confirmed what I heard.The box vibrates a lot,adding it's own signature to the sound.Maybe some additional bracing would help.

The highs are clear,even without varnish on the inside,and while it doesn't go very deep,the bass has a good punch to it. I was surprised at how well it handled the Illegal Bass CD.

Anyway,I will continue to play around with it,and see what happens.Maybe I will take it outside and inflict it upon the neighbors to see what they think of it.

I finally got a new computer,so hopefully i will be able to post some better pics.

In the meantime,here is a crappy Ipod photo.
