Hello friends,
after reading a lot about speakers, i finally decided to go the open baffle way. just experimenting a bit. I bought a locally made 12" speaker, no specifications available. the shopkeeper said that it was a woofer but it produces decent higher frqes and has a whizzer cone so i think it is a full range speaker. I built H frame with help of a carpenter.
size of H frame: height: 3 ', width 20" and depth 2'. built it arbitrarily.
after putting the driver in the frame, i found it lacking a bit in higher frequencies. surprisingly, i found that the bass is pretty decent, although i do not have any measures. everyone who has built a OB speaker says that it lacks in bass but whatever bass my speaker produces is more than enough for me.
the sound: i like it. my wife and my neighbour unanimously say that it is better than my regular speaker ( I use NX audio 2 way bookshelf , a pro speaker).even I do not feel that the sound of my original speaker is that great when i do A-B comparison.
delighted by the results and i have decided to go 1 step further. My philips 8" full rangers are arriving tomorrow(which say that the frequency range is 50Hz to 22Khz). so it will be a combination of philips full range without any cross over and a woofer from ahuja with one way subwoofer cross over by ahuja again.

i know that people dislike Ahuja and think that it is only meant for PA systems but no other Indian manufacturer gives so much technical detail including T-S parameters of drivers. it has a decent price and most importantly, it is readily available.
