A question for you audiophiles out there: Anybody ever built their own speakers? I built a set a hundred years ago that are still rockin' strong, but I've forgot the basics.
For the new bus, I just bought a AVH-X3700BHS Pioneer stereo that's output is 4 ohms for 4 channels. I'm looking at a set of Boss four way 4 ohm speakers for the doors and a hybrid three-way setup for the rear; Boss 4 ohm 6.5" midrange with 1" soft dome tweeters, and pyle 10" 4 ohm woofers, all hooked up via a 4 ohm crossover network. Is this cool or is it going to fry my amp?
The last set I built consisted of 15" musical instrument speakers, 6" musical instrument speakers for the midrange, and a 8" horn tweeter, along with a crossover network, all 8 ohm, fed by an 8 ohm Sony 10 watt amp. It'll play for the whole neighborhood, and I haven't managed to burn the speakers or the amp in over 30 years.
Anybody know tunes, or do I have to look like an idiot on a audiophile forum somewhere? I'd much rather look like an idiot here. You folks already know me!
