2-Way Tower Build

2-Way Tower Build


Designer:

NTol

Project Category:

Tower Speakers

Project Level:

Beginner

Project Time:

8-20 Hours

Project Cost:

$100 – $500

Project Description:

2-way small towers for our living room. Adding a .1 subwoofer eventually.

Design Goals:

Make them small enough to not overload the living room space.

Driver Selection:

294-5938 – B&C 4NDF34-8 4″ Professional Neodymium Woofer 8 Ohm
272-200 – GRS RT1.0-8 Hi-Res Neo Ribbon Tweeter 8 Ohm

Enclosure Design:

2-Way with Slot Port

Enclosure Assembly:

3/4″ Pine

Crossover Design:

2-Way 2nd Order 2500mhz

Conclusion:

They look very nice, sound is OK. Rear porting a speaker I planned to place close to the wall was maybe not the best idea. The downward firing port is also a bit too wide for the driver, didn’t realize I had over cut those 2 pcs until they were glued in.

About the Designer:

This is my first build.
