Dayton Audio Reference Series Speaker Build | DIY | $200 Drivers Deep Bass Hi-Fi Elegante Speakers

Love the design. Love the presentation. I will be using it for a build for a friend, but as a finishing touch, I am going to use black leather instead of paint (similar to Sonus Faber) and veneer the edges. One of my takeaways from this was the trick with the veneer that you used to make the cauls (why faff around planing an angle..)

tooo much talking

These are just gorgeous speakers. Do they sound as good as they look? keep up the great work.

I'm really excited to start a build with some of the reference series speakers but I may use a different tweeter. This build is great! nice work, nice video.

The dude is mental.

Elegant video man!

What software is that you used for the xover design?

Hi! this is pure gold. im from a country wich is terrible for buy anything from outside (Argentina), and i not talking about drivers or amplifiers, i just meaning buy a manual for construction of enclosures, so the theorical materials found in internet is absolutly diamonds for us who love good sound.. and a part of the same, the drivers and amplifiers, we have only two ways: Car audio drivers(nasty) or just wait 2 or 3 months an aliexpress buy (the only online global shop allowed with a internal tax fee of 110%!!), so in the most cases we delight in what is seen behind the horizon.
best regards and thank you. sorry for my bad english i just learned from movies ajajaja

Excellent work

Wepa !

Alson , I would like to add, that your woodworking ,and fabrication talents are amazing , 1st video of yours, for me and I am impressed enough to subscribe , I have a good feeling that you have alot that I can learn from !

It's like the retired Italian mafia boss version of Mr. Rodgers , after tripping acid through the entire 60s and 70s , not a bad thing , just adds flavorful spiciness to the mix !!

Not sure where to ask this, on what video. Why didn't you build yet a sub-woofer, starting by using some of Parts Express kits or designs?

They are a set of beasts.... sounds amazing bro...😀

Hello, thank you for your interesting review and experience! Could you please share the drawings with dimensions? Thank you!

i don´t understand the reference here

Dry nice work sir, I have a few questions; 1) what mic are you using to check the curves ? 2) what software are you using to check the curves ? 3) what software are you using to design crossovers ? Love your channel

Hey. I’m having a go at building speakers to yours. I do have a question. Why isn’t the tweeter in its own seperate section of the cabinet?

Good choice of drive units. I've got the paper-coned version (RS180-4P) in the front doors of my car, along with RST-28A tweeters. Woofers are actively bandpass filtered between 80hz and 4KHz, tweeters are high-pass filtered at 4 KHz. Sounds awesome with massive midbass. Aluminum dome tweeters are detailed without being harsh or fatigueing. There's no car audio marketed speakers that can come close for the price of these puppies.

interesting
