bmxfelon420 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I will be getting a reciever soon, so i need to make a center that will be driven by 80 watts. I was looking to build a center, but i was wondering what would be reasonable size speakers to use, and id like to keep the price for the drivers under 60 dollars alltogether if possible. Ill build the cabinet myself, and space isnt too much of an issue, it can be a foot or two wide and pretty deep too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efzauner Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Why don't you browse ebay a bit first, see what you can pick up ready built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apex Jr. has the 8 inch Klipsch K-1077 woofers for about $37 each, also they have T/S parameters. I don't have the URL right now but Google Apex Jr and it's there. I've bought a bunch of stuff from them and they're a good outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwoods Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 What will you be using as mains, as it's unclear as to whether you'll be fixing/replacing the blown mids on the Pioneers, replacing them altogether or the satellites from the Promedia 2.1's?

billyjoe72 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I got lucky and found a scrapped out klf10 for $60 and built my own cabinet. It rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxfelon420 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Im fixing the pioneers and they are going to be my mains. Im replacing all the drivers in my rears, because the ones they have suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwoods Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Then ideally you'd want the same HF/mid drivers as those in the Pioneers. May be hard to locate, but give Parts Express a shot. Are you planning on reworking the XO's also, or just dropping them in, and hoping for the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmxfelon420 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Im going to drop them in and see what happens, and if theres any major frequency holes than ill probably get some new crossovers. Im wondering, what is the frequency range of vocals, approximately? I want the speaker to at least be decent and be able to sound reasonably accurate, but im not going for anything crazy since im on a tight budget.

ironwoods Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 A very deep bass singer might go down as low as about 80 Hz. The most critical frequency range for the intelligibility of human speech and singing is from 2 kHz to 4 kHz. Sibilants in the human voice go up to about 12 kHz.
