    Thank you

    I assume you mean my impressions of how they sound.I hope to have them done this weekend so I can have a listen.

    Yes, your impression on the quality of the drivers use, build levels (easy, hard), how they sound compared to the design objective as Zach designed it. May be I ask too much? :o It's coz I have interest in Zach's design and was hoping to get an insight from the person who builds it.
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:

    Im very impressed with the build quality of the woofer.The cast basket used on this $16 unit rivals drivers costing $100 more.The tweet is nothing special build wise but Zaphs measurements show it to be a great performer for the money.
    Contruction wise it's fairly easy and straight forward,but being as this is DIY you can build as elaborate box as your skills and tools allow.


    I will post my impressions when I finally get to have a listen.

    Survey says... :D

    Thinking of building a few pairs of these for myself and my brothers for our PCs with the reduced BSC.

    IMO they would be excellent for PC use especially if driven by a Gainclone or similarily good sounding inexpensive amp.

    I comment on their SQ in this thread.

    However using them nearfield for PC use the bass output level limitation may not be an issue.
    Im in the process of building a 12db active hipass filter centered at 40hz to see if that helps to get a few more clean db's of output from them.
