Speaker drivers bangalore

Hi,

At last I have decided to get on a journey of making speakers myself...I am a completely a novice and willing to try..I am sure I will get lot of help from this group..

This is what I am doing..Pls tell me if I am wrong.

1. Decide on the specs. My aim is to build a 3 way speaker system (with 1 8" driver, 2 6" drivers and a tweeter)
2. For this I have shortlisted the following drivers
Peerless P17SJ
Peerless TC14WG
Peerless D27TG
Though I am not able to get an 8" driver listed at Corrson website, hence settling for P17SJ..

I need help in designing cross overs for these drivers..and also if you can let me know where can I get these components in Bangalore (SP road for sure)

I am trying to visit Corrson and get these drivers, but if somebody can let me know if similar drivers are avialable elsewhere, will try them as well..

Cheers!!

Hi,

Welcome to the world of DIY my friend !!!!

Now some questions ! why did you chose to go the DIY way ? and why 3way if may ask ? and finally why peerless (well there other questions but this is enough for now) ?

Please do shed some light on these !! I'll be glad to help you in any way ! if you are upto it !!

You may get some basic details of these stuff by going through my DIY Tower thread (follow the signature) !

Also if you want you can drop in and check it out and discuss bout it !

Regards.

Hi,

Thanks my friend..

Well there's no real reason I want to do my own speakers. They are going to be my speakers you know..I just want to experiment.

No reason for 3 way speaker. I am interested in making a tower speakers. When i am making something, i thought let me make something BIG..

And WHy did I chose, Peerless, again when I browsed thru Google, Corrsons are the only peole who seem to have some professional speaker drivers. hence decided on Peerless. Here again I am willing to experiment. Infact I went to SP road yesterday to check out whats avilable. I found some speaker drivers called Dainty, a 12" driver said 130 W RMS. The cone was made of Plastic..I thought they are CON drivers....

I browsed thru the web and found some DIY specs which are really good...

Let me be honest with you. I have browsed thru your stuff and found them to interesting. I am inspired to work on DIY now...

I will definietly want to meet up with you and look at the stuff you have made..Let me know where are you put up..

more later..thnx...cheers vadiraj..

Hi,

Ok fine got the point !! I'd defiantly say you have to visit my place,coz a lot myth's are going to be shattered when you see them !!

The said Dainty is from Taiwan and you got it right not a worthy contender for any serious projects !

We have Peerless India driver which are also good and cost effective ! so thats there ! and some other options !

Thanks for liking my DIY effort ! Am in Sanjaynagar ! PM me for further on the possible visit and timings etc !!

As said will help as much as possible !

Regards.

Hi Vadiraj,
Last year I built the Wayne J's Eros MK11 (Speakerbuilder.net!* The art and engineering of loudspeaker design). I will post the pics(already posted in hifi-forum). I used Vifa and scanspeak drivers. If you want to listen to them you are most welcome.
These days even I'm planning to build a 3 way floorstander if I can get good drivers.



Thanks,
Hemanth.
