My HT Build :)

I'd look into Onkyo TX-SR line...

I use the 605, you can also look at the 705...

Great Receiver's, more power and better specs than the Harmon... and if your buddy works at a retail place see if he can get discounts on those as well. I picked up my 605 on ebay BNIB for $354shipped.

I like this build - finally something different.

Do you think that the eggshell will affect the sound? If so, how?

(forgive my ignorance)

Look's like a pretty good reciever, I will keep it in mind. One of the things that tilted me towards the HK was the styling.

Meh, I can't stand the styling. Lol.

What crossover design are you using?

Just cheap pre-made ones for now. When I have more money I will create my own (it's like $150 to build the **** xovers)

Surprised it's that cheap.

Good crossover designs usually surpass the cost of the drivers, and to run something like the SD-1 passive in a 3-way takes some pretty big inductors...

im rocking the HK 147 picked up bnib off price grabber for less than 200 iirc //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

the hk stuff is awesome stuff, i prefer them to the onkyo but my experience with the onkyo is limited

I need to hurry up and finish at least my mains and center channel, my substage is lonely

Frame together... had some imperfections but nothing my handy lil sander couldn't fix //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Still gotta put it the pieces to make an enclosure for the midbass and put on the front and router that out.

PS: When the time comes I will need some help from you experienced HT guys for the xovers on it, still a big newb to home audio.

Very interesting assembly method. I usually build three different adjacent sides first. Easier to come out square that way. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Looks like a pretty big box too... I just now realized that this was a 3-way. I thought the SD-1's were going to be dedicated subs. 2 12s on each cab at 4 ohms?

This looks like a fun build. I need to branch away from the whole "audiophile" mindset... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

As of now the subs are dedicated subs.. but yea it's a fun project so far I can't wait to hear them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

So... are the subs built into the towers?

[the727kid 10+ year member]

Yes. The build is based off the Magna *** Lade but with my own revisions.

 

[ngsm13 5,000+ posts]

And, the subs will be in a different chamber correct?

Link to the Magna's?
