Project NEXUS... A timbre matched family of Hi-Fi/HT speakers

MTM design ported, Can i keep the internal volume the same "0.486 cu.ft and increase the width ?
i want to widen it to 30.25" each, depth to 6" , keep the height to 7"
Two MTM side by side to look like soundbar

 

I am getting Dayton Sub 1200, Fosi 2.1 channel amp

 

Yes you can make the cabinet wider like that but I recommend keeping the driver spacing tight, the further you spread them out the greater the off axis cancellation between the drivers.

 

Lovely...I see that you have the crossover board available in ebay. I need help in putting together the parts like you did for my ht88 special, ht88,818s.
I will get the finished cab drawing and post it here.

 

Help Question is where to put the 6" long ports on both the speaker.



Box will have divider in the middle.
Nexus Total - $126.06 per speaker with crossover board - ported.
Parts express - Curt Campbell design Aviatrix RST is $125 per speaker - Sealed.
Couldn't find any comparison chart between these two. Nexus driver is bigger.
I will run this Dayton Sub1200 and Fosi 2.1 AMP

 

The ports would probably work best placed on the sides, but you could use a smaller diameter and therefor shorter port on the front.

Otherwise you could possibly get the 2-1/2" port to work in that depth cutting it slightly shorter so that you are left with about 1" of clearance between the port and the opposite wall of the enclosure if mounting it on the front/top/bottom. So 5.25 - 5.5" long depending on the thickness of the cabinet material you use. I feel the port tuning should be within the usable range if done like that.

 

For anyone looking to build WTMW Center.
