Description
I don't think I ever posted this photo -- it's my very first loudspeaker.
It cost me $15 total to make: $10 for the 8-inch driver and $5 for the piezo tweeter. The rest was scrap wood, wire and a few electronic parts I had lying around.
Now the interesting part was that this loudspeaker sounded much better than my 3-way Jensens which were twice the size and 20X the cost. Its sound was simply more accurate and pleasant, with a tight punchy bass.
But even more interesting was the piezo tweeter which was a total piece of garbage when front-facing. But when I placed it over a cone for 360 degree dispersion, the highs suddenly opened up with the most spacious, natural sound I ever heard!
A few months later I built two much bigger 3-way loudspeakers, better than the Jensens, but still not quite as good as this one.
I hope I didn't bore too many people to death with this post;-)
