Open Baffle Speakers on the cheap

These Open Baffle Speakers were made using inexpensive components from PartsExpress. The tweeters use the smallest Dayton waveguide plus a cheap piezo super tweeter (the same waveguide used on the ZillaTweeter supertweeter). The piezo doesn't sound as good but does the trick if budget is limited. The midrange is the now discontinued Pioneer B20 full range driver. PartsExpress sells a substitute by GRS but they do not sound quite the same (the GRS is more forward with less bass). The woofers are 15" Jamo buyouts. Their specs suited open baffle designs and worked great! Just find a large diameter woofer with a high Qts (.75 or higher is my estimate) and pair it with a good subwoofer amp. This way you can alter the woofers output and crossover frequency to match with the main driver of your choice.

This was a fun project that turned out really well. My son loves them!

Flat speaker wire allows you to run speaker cable around your home without having to hire an electrician to make holes in your walls and ceilings. Running flat speaker wire under carpets and along baseboards can look totally unobtrusive, neat and clean. ZillaAudio.com sells high quality flat speaker wire for use in your home or office. It's 16 gauge copper wire offering audiophiles the quality they require while remaining concealed. Visit www.ZillaAudio.com for all your speaker wire needs.

The Pioneer B20 fullrange driver, also known as the BOFU, sounds good stock. Removing the dustcap improves the sound. It's something you can easily do with an Xacto knife and some patience. Removing the dustcap improves the sound by reducing the muffled vocals and pushing the overall presentation forward. The sound is slightly brighter and less dull. Visit www.ZillaAudio.com to find out more about modifying the B20 fullrange driver.
