My first DIY speakers

Anil kumar · #1 03-11-06, 02:17 PM

Hi all, this is my first DIY project. Speaker system is based on D'Appolito MTM-based loudspeaker configuration, uses Vifa drivers with 3 internal braces with double layered front baffle. The lining is padded with 1" sponge and filled with Dacron stuffing & port is tuned to 37Hz. This is a well-rounded and capable speaker that is well suited to many types of music and movies. Bass extention and musicality is it's most impressive with surprising detail and clarity and natural with deep bass. Each weighs 25kgs, uses second order Linkwitz-Riley 2.5 way crossover. Most of the carpentry work done by me.
Drivers & components procured locally. Thanks to Corrson for stocking & promoting DIY activity in India.

Regards,
Anil kumar.

They look like Vifa P17WJ drivers. Neat job I must say. I too have built an MTM system using Vifa TC18 and D27TG drivers.

The speaker pictures are all 1.6 MB in size. I do not have Adobe Photoshop to reduce file size of the picture. Any idea how I can do that.

Hi, install Photoshop go to save as option, select photo jpeg in the file
format type. Dialogue box opens asking for image option, select medium
or low occording to size of the picture then save, very simple.

Regards,
Anil

Here goes. The big unfinished towers are made with Vifa drivers. The brown ones are made with Peerless India drivers. I used the spinwave online compression thingie. Some white X mark has appeared on the photo. But I guess you guys get the idea.
