I'm assuming that it is ok to attach the zobel to the actual speaker terminals like this. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb475/bostod/zobel.jpg I have used a 3.3uf capacitor and an 18ohm resistor. similar to the suggestion made by Colin. Should this clear the midrange up because that is what i ...

Looks like an extreme thing to do to get the midrange you want. wouldn't it be easier to get another driver or isn't there one to your liking.

Phew glad these have sold. i would have been very tempted and then would have been divorced when my wife saw them
What a bargain

I am going to stay with the drivers i have for now and get them set up properly. the top driver is currently held in by 2 screws until i reduce the top hole size. Of course this may change after the next Owston when i can compare the sound to others. It is only through this comparison that i can tel...

Chris, you are young genius. Took the inductor, Zobel etc off leaving the original crossover. Turned the top drivers around. Wow what a difference. the simplest way to describe the change( has to be simple for me). the Bass appears to have increased, the midrange seems much more integrated into the ...

Ok I Have a new Plan A Here's something to try: mount the top driver facing backwards, and remove the notch filter from the 8" driver. You'll have to wire the top driver backwards, too. The reasoning behind this goes as follows... The 8" driver won't be radiating much in the way of high fr...

HMM, My education continues. The Edingdales use identical speakers wired up to act as a single unit. Because i have tried this with different drivers, it will not work the same way. My plan B was to play with some batons at the rear of the speakers(initially made with cardboard) to extend the midran...

found the measurements for the 2 Tangband drivers
the w4 657d looks like this


while the W8 1808 looks like this

where would i buy these small enamelled copper wire reels

But I can't help thinking that to have two different drivers doing the midrange would smear that area, already a problem with a whizzer and main cone fighting for the territory, adding another driver into the fight seems unhelpful. Hmm, My intention was to bring out more midrange by adding an extra...

Rather than connect the Zobel to the binding post terminals, could i put it across the actual speaker terminals or should i add it to the crossover? How would this effect the main crossover? HF = high frequency LF = low frequency http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n146/pre65/seriescrossover002.jpg

Well without redesigning the wheel, a good place to start would be the zobel with a 3.47uF 18.3R in series across both terminals of the Tang Band. I did think of a tweeter for the top driver Colin but i quite like the set up i have now and think i will stick with that. If the Zobel works well with t...

Without knowing too much what I am doing but knowing where i want to go,I have tried a simple mod. Someone made me a notch filter for another project(for the tangband w4657D) that consists of a 10uf cap, 0.04mh coil and 27ohm resistor. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb475/bostod/P1020978.jpg I ...

Took these to Owston recently and got some very positive feedback. One option was to put a notch filter on the tang bands to reduce the rising treble. Where would be a good place to start, I know Colin had used a similar device when he used similar drivers. Could i get a description of that or even ...

hi there Greg This is Dave. Thank you for the kind offer. i will pm you shortly. welcome to Audio talk
