Couple of Tips: As I was working on some CIEMS for some fellow musicians, I thought of a couple very simple things that I do or use all the time that may be useful to some. I've learned A LOT from this group, and although these "cheapskate tips" might seem trivial by comparison, thought someone...

I recently made a set of CIEMs for someone with a very small canal. I was able to use some very thin walled stainless capillary tube from EBAY. Used 1mm id for dual bass drivers and 1.5mm id for the TWFK mid/high. Only had to use if for the last 1/2 inch or so. Tedious but worked out well.

Wondering if you would share how you went about integrating the extra CI with the BK. i.e. low pass filter? extra sound tube? etc. Thanks

--- You can't go wrong with your original plan, including Luke's suggestions for damping. It will be an easy first build with great results and you'll enjoy listening to them. I have a set like it and it's sort of my CIEM audio "reference" point that I don't fiddle with. I like to compare it...

So, I also wanted to try another curing "oven". I have been using a 4 tube florescent nail oven, but struggle with consistency in shell thickness. I thought maybe something like this might provide a more uniform light source. This is a piece of 4" flue pipe from Home Depot and some stick-on uv...

So I went to the CANJAM convention in Denver the other weekend. Thought I might share some comments about looking at CIEMs there, with the caveat that I’m still learning and am now even more aware of how little I know. Perhaps would be of interest, especially to beginners in my same, or similar...

What you've asked is kind of like asking which one kind of ice cream everyone prefers. So much depends on your purpose in building and what you will use them for. If your purpose is to mainly save money, do yourself a favor and buy a nice set ready made. I'm far from an expert, but after 6...

The above makes sense to me, especially the mid range push. I've built a couple of budget CIEM 2 ways with 30120s. Used a common CI/ED 10ohm, .22, .22 uf, orange, green recipe. One was for a friend and was paired with a 2389. He's very pleased with how they sound. The other one was for me and...

I think much more important to research impression characteristics that are required in order to make a proper fitting CIEM. It really doesn't matter how great your driver setup is if your shells don't fit perfectly, without leaks and yet with a comfortable fit. Recommend search for...

No experience with re-shelling as you're describing. However as a newbie now with a total of 4 CIEMs under my belt, your assumptions on what is easy and what is hard seems WAY reversed from what I've experienced. For me, hooking up a set of BA's with dampers, crossover caps/resistors, and...

Just went to look at GV availability at Mouser and they now show it as a "new" product and no longer indicate it being discontinued.

Just wondering if the TWFK version used in the GV was confirmed?

So I have no idea whether this is helpful or relevant, but here's a pic of the backside of the GV. It would be a bit different from Shilosjustice's schematic, (although I don't quite understand the wiring on the HODVTEC in your (Shiloh's) schematic). I can't get a capacitance measurement on the...

General tube and damper guidance for novice. I've searched on the subject but ended up a bit confused and still pretty unclear on preferred or best practice on tube configuration. I do realize that this is all part of the tuning process, but looking for a leg up in guidance on what seems to be...

Thanks @Shilohsjustice and @Deezel177. Good info. It's a learning experience for sure. Although I can mix what channels I hear as well as overall basic treble/bass in my aviom, I do not believe there are individual monitor feeds that could be EQ'd at the board. Most of the time I feel I'm...

This post is directed mainly toward Shilohsjustice, so perhaps could have only been a pm. However thought there might be others that have input or else would benefit. So... I'm a newbee that has spent quite a bit of time reading the wealth of material here. Noted a post from you (Shilohsjustice)...
