This 4 x 10" full-range cabinet is ideal for club and party systems... Loads of punch in a small cab!
It's surprisingly easy to build tho', and can be used with more pairs to build a bigger system.
It's not a sub-bass-heavy design, rolling in at about 70-80Hz, but you can add some bass-bins to these, with a Bi-amped system to deliver bone-crushing sub-bass if required.
Use a pair of these with any stereo power amp up to 500 watts per channel... but ease the volume in huh!... dont blow the things up!
The speaker brand is up to you, but check the resonance for the bass driver, and adjust the port-size accordingly... Use a 3-5K cross-over for the tweeters.
The tweeters are mounted on an angled board... the plans dont show how to do this, but simply cut out the 10" X 5" oblong hole, then make the small angled panel and glue it in pace with mucho wood-glue (wood-glue/PVA is stronger than wood once set)... the tweeters don't vibrate much, and there's no need to seperate them from the bass/mid speakers... but make sure the seal around the tweeter board is airtight.
