Creating a DIY set of speakers from Tonsil woofers mids and tweeters.

[sh0t_]

Firstly , i do not know if i can type in english here but i didn't really have time to read the rules.
On to the subject now.

I want to get rid of theese Altus 75s i have right now, because of some multiple "issues" regarding the sound.

I was thinking of creating a new set of speakers (very simmilar to the altuses in design) but with more "calculated" enclosure so i can reach the -3dB point at about 35HZ.

I need advice for the speakers that will be appropriate to use (preferably from tonsil because they are accesible and i can use the aluminium rings on them).

My total budget is about 2000PLN (boxes + speakers + crossovers + anything else needed).

Thanks.

Don't bother with Tonsil speakers, they're not worth it. Try one of the STX or SB Acoustics projects: https://diyaudio.pl/forum/praktycznie/w-asne-konstrukcje-elektroakustyczne/projekty-kolumny Stx and SB Acoustics are great in terms value/money. Even the cheapest projects should be a massive upgrade from Altus

Unfortunately , using anything else rather than tonsil will exceed my budget by ALOT + i wouldnt be able to use the rings from the altuses that i truely love.
So please keep the project on Tonsil speakers.

Wich woofer model would be the most suited to reach 35hz , i am building floorstand speakers simmilar to the altus 200 - 300 series.

I'm afraid you will not get what you expect from this Tonsil drivers. However check this topic: https://diyaudio.pl/forum/praktyczn...-głośnikowego-w-obudowie-altus-300#post646328
This guy claims he made better version of Altus 300.

Simulating a 120L Enclosure in WinISD with the GDN 30/80/2 Woofer seems to get me about 36HZ -3dB, and that is about what i want.
