From the project
a 2.1 channel 900 watt sound system made by me
This project is a custom-built 3-way audio system designed from scratch, including the amplifier, crossover network, and speaker configuration. The goal was to create a solid, practical setup that delivers good sound without overcomplicating the design.
- Subwoofer: 10" DVC (handles low frequencies) - Tower Speakers (x2): - 2 × Woofers (connected in series → 8Ω) - 1 × Midrange driver (4Ω) - 1 × Tweeter (4Ω)
