Midnight Monoliths
Designer: Strandt
Project Time: 1-8 hours
Project Complexity: Hobbyist
Project Cost: $100-$500
Driver Selection
Mid and Bass drivers are 4″ with a range of 70hz to 6khz. I used a Pezio tweeter with a 47ohm resistor, with a range of 3khz to 25k hz to finish it off.
Enclosure Design
The enclosure is made out of MDF. IT is a very, tightly made box to minimized reverb, with no internal dampening material.
Amplifier/Crossover Configuration
the tweeter I crossed over at 3.5khz. The bottom woofer is using a low pass crossover at 500hz, and the mid has no crossover.
Enclosure Assembly
I used a nail gun to assemble this enclosure, with a very thick primer over it, then 4 layers of an oil based high gloss black paint
Conclusion
These speakers are surprisingly clear. Great High’s, Outstandingly accurate lows. I was planning on using them with a Subwoofer, but it is really not necessary.
