Hi, y'all, I just posted this information as a "Late Revision" on the web site. I am open to questions and comments. Bob ... I have received the new FE166En...
Uncle Dudley, Well, the 1808 takes a BIG box. I had a fellow ask the same question in private emails. The solution was a 100L MLTL -- 48"x10"x12" driver 12"...
... Thanks Bob, I sent the same question regarding the 1808 to TB and here's their response: type: vented box shape: prism, square ( optimum ) Vb = 65 liters ...
Uncle Dudley, I posted a file comparing a 65L box and a 100L box. The 65L box will be punchier while the 100L box goes lower. The real problem with boxes this...
Hi Bob I thought I would give this mod a go. For ease of use can I place a 1uf cap across the speaker terminals, or do I need to bypass the BSC internally? ...
Richard, The cap goes across the resistor/inductor of the BSC filter. Yes, you will need to remove the driver. You might consider leaving the filter outside...
I have acquired two pair of these drivers (nicknamed BOFU). This si an inexpensive 8" driver ($40 each, on sale for $19) that works in the FT-2000 cabinet. I...
I have updated the web site to reflect current models. The FB-20 is gone. In its place, I have introduced the TB-20 BR which uses the Tang Band W8-1772 driver....
Dear Bob I am new here. I was wondering how one goes about obtaining plans to the above enclosure for use with the 1772? And what the price of a flat pack kit...
Go to the web site/TB-20 page and click the PayPal icon next to "Plans". You do not need to be a PayPal subscriber, I use them as my credit card clearing...
Andrew, I'm back at home. I was about to send the plans when I discovered an error. I need to fix a couple of the drawings. Not very professional, I know, but...
What tools and other equipment (besides the drivers) are needed to build a speaker from flats? I built a bird-house in the 7th Grade, but that was quite a...
John, Unfortunately, building a speaker from flats is a bit more challenging then building a bird house. What you need depends on how you go about assembling...
Bob, I think it would make more sense for me to spend this time music-making instead of speaker-making (I'm a cellist, my wife is a pianist). I was reading...
John, Indeed I have no experience with the DecWare products. I have heard good and ho-hum. If you choose to go this route, though, I would be happy to put the...
Mr. Brines, I happen to run across your web page regarding TQWT Cabinets as used for Lowther speakers. I am interested in building a pair of Lowther...
Len, It depends on what you want. A BLH will play louder than a MLTL, but won't go as deep. My speakers are ideal for girl-and-a-guitar, jazz trio, small band...
Mr. Brines, On Jan 13 2011 I clicked on the "buy now" button to purchase plans for your FTA-2000 design. To date I have not received any information and Paypal...
Francois, I checked my email and my PayPal account. I found no record of you order. If PayPal has charged your account, you need to have that charge removed. ...
Bob, have you ever had the chance to work with the AER MK1 driver? I have a pair here from a buddy that is looking for a design. Any thoughts would be...
Hello Bob, Sorry for the delay - playtime was scarce recently. I clicked on the "Buy Now" button and was taken to Paypal, but I checked and Paypal showed the...
OK. That's the problem. I change the email address long ago but missed updating that particular button. I will fix it tonight. In the meantime, You can go...
I have repaired the link from the plans "Buy Now" button to the correct email account. Plans purchases will now flow correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience. ...
