Hello good folks. I am new here and new at this. I and my Son were hoping to start out with a simple mod (it's how I taught myself with cars) and progress from there. Your knowledge and help is appreciated. We have been doing our homework (here and a jillion other links:dizzy
and this is what we propose.
I have a set of Wharfdale Floor stand Zaldek 2000. specs will follow. They have a front loaded horn (top) and a front loaded mid (just below) drivers. These are open with a .75" horizontal baffle brace just below with a 5"x9" cutout. Then we have dual 6.5” polycarbonate laminate bass drivers with a 2.5" forward port at bottom.
We are thinking to close off the upper drivers.
Put a brace baffle between the dual 6.5” polycarbonate laminate bass drivers.
Upgrade the crossover by just replacing components with high quality.
The only acoustic material is one loose sheet of spun (nylon?) in back so coat the entire inside with Dynomat and apply more acoustic to all sides to make the box dead.
What do you think? All suggestions welcome, thanks.
