What do YOU want in your component sets?

Haha....I never said they were perfect for car audio //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gifBut seriously though, the people who have used them so far have seemed to love them over their conventional tweet setups. Just something to think about.

Oh trust me I've been thinking about it a lot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I have some radical ideas that I want to patent before I discuss them though like some ribbons able to take extreme abuse -- as well as some stuff that doesn’t matter like a ribbon tweeter with a wider vertical dispersion pattern but this is not stuff that I can do at this point... not enough $$$ sadly...

A wider vertical dispersion pattern is a *BAD* thing generally but I want better than 15 degrees 40 degrees would do for most people...

As for grills that fit the speakers I was thinking along the lines of what accuton does...

Also thinking along the lines that I'll be using ceramic materials within 2 years -- Going to be doing some materials research... going to be coming out with some cones that are superior to Accuton's but cost a lot less... That is sort of longer term project I have though...

No more input here???

Here are the latest thoughts...

How’s dayton RS style 7"... smaller mounting flange though so rly like a 6.8" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif -- higher sensitivity DVC 4 ohm (2 ohm or 8 ohm operation your pick) -- copper phase plug -- grill

Prolly go with a 3" dome mid first -- Dayton RS style -- black aluminum dome -- liberal use of copper shorting rings -- built in grill

A 4.5" cone mid -- as high a sensitivity as I can manage without breaking the bank... black aluminum cone with copper phase plug... Anyone like another color better than copper on black?

As for the tweeters it *is* going to be a smaller faceplate version of the dayton RS28 but higher sensitivity and a neo motor design -- but this is my last priority -- this is all going to take quite some time... going to create them one at a time type deal so this will take a little bit...

After all of this I'll tackle a full range 3" driver... as well as start expanding on the lines with other sizes because by then I'll have enough money to invest back into my project of making awesome DIY drivers available... as well as component sets for the general population to use...

All of my drivers I'm leaning towards a low Q high vas low fs design... I can't have a high Qes ~.7 or so and maintain high efficiency and low fs... just won't work with what I can do at the moment???... I would have to drop efficiency... This low Q will work fine in the doors... leaky sealed... or in very small sealed kicks... or in small ported alignments... or in very large ported alignments tuned very low...

Ok, and what part of that long post is your standard 2 way?

dynaudio 2 or 3 way

Standard 2 way = 6.8" driver and a super robust dayton RS tweeter lmao //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif...... or your pick anything under 800hz Fs

Haha, I'll keep in touch should my current set give out. I don't change equipment but maybe every 8 months or so. Would be nice to have something a little more "real" in terms of a diehard component set.
