Has anybody got any facts and figures that i could use to build one of these rare boxes? I heard they dont affect your impedance rating at all.
Shed some light please!
I would add it to 2 x (115@8ohm) setup.  |

I just want one but I dont want to pay stupid money for it because it is rare. |

I used the TE a long long time ago. It didn't do anything you couldn't get with a slight turn of the treble knob. |

Is it really that bad though? I do hate it when people listen with equations and math, rather than listening with the holes on the side of their head. |

Putting a line of HF drivers horizontally kind've totally defeats the object of having a tweeter box.

A DIY cab will be worth the actual parts costs, tops, in most resale scenarios. The TE will be worth exactly what you paid for it if you've bought smart.
It's been ages since I've actually heard one of those things, so long ago that I could be dreaming that I ever did. |
