Stevenarrow Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Definitely 1". Can't say if the material makes a difference. My new Belles are 1" and braced. The bass is VERY solid; I will likely not be adding the reflex chamber I was planning on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdrive03 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I've got some 1.25" plywood that I'm dying to try out on LS or Belles. Hope I can move them during the build. Probably only use on the bottoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Nasty phone photo: Various top horns will work, these have the elliptrac with the big BMS co-ax. Note: the stock Belle is much easier to build than this bull-nosed version. Boy, i sure like the way that looks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantilope Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Here is my final design. Need to get some wood and figure out how I can get a Festool saw for Xmas.

Cantilope Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Do any of you have some crossover recommendations for this setup? I have read everything I can about the different setups used around here but most of those posts are a few years old. Any recommendations on something that might allow me to run a 5.1 theater built from these 2-way bells that I can time align and adjust? I think I need a 5 in 10 out I would like to do it with one piece of electronics, but I don't know if that is best either. Preferably something new, maybe a miniDSP. I might need to lean on someone to help me get it set up correctly too. I'd go analog too, will the ALK steep slope x-overs work? That give me a 2-way or 3-way option and be easier I think, but am I cutting a corner? Thanks! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spezjag Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'm of no help on the crossover issue. But I did find this pic on the interwebs: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Same here. I can't find any so I'll just build a set ultimately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantilope Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) My plan is to build 2 now utilizing 2 McIntosh MC275 biamped. I want the amps to sit on top. Edited October 15, 2015 by Cantilope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantilope Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I have been looking at the Ashly stuff as it can be had new. I can find (2) EV DX38 used and with shipping about the same 3-6 the Ashly. Any thoughts on this? http://www.ashly.com/products/protea-system-processors.php DJK, you have had yours for a bit now, any changes or if you had to do it over?

Cantilope Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Here's the veneer pieces you'll need for stock Belles What kind of veneer is that? Is it Rosewood? That looks real close to my real belles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yep, Santos Rosewood (don't know this PC will not let me quote or copy/paste) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 "DJK, you have had yours for a bit now, any changes or if you had to do it over?" Would have the port come out of the riser base, would have custom 8's made (it's a quad 8 PPSL, not a single 15), Use the elliptical tweeter and make it a three-way (or redesign the elliptrac to have a quadratic throat, a conical section, and then go to tractrix at the mouth).

Cantilope Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I just picked up a MiniDSP 10x10HD for $700. Hopefully I can get it to do what I need it too. Edited October 24, 2015 by Cantilope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I can find (2) EV DX38 used and with shipping about the same 3-6 the Ashly. Any thoughts on this? I have two DX38's. Mark1101 has commented before the merits of having more inputs/outputs. I fully agree with him. In the beginning, a single Dx38 was fine. I then decided to do a 2-way JubeScala center. I need something for it. I now have two Danley DTS-10's and need something for them. So now with two Dx38's, I have four inputs and eight outputs. With the various speakers, I need 2 inputs for the Jubilee's, one input for the center and two for the Danley's so I need a total of 5 inputs and eight outputs. Nice except I only have four inputs. (I might sell a Danley or if I can get it past the wife, use them on the same signal) So, get more I/O's than you think you will need because you never know what may happen in the future.
