Here are the FR vs the KZ ZEX Pro. ( Red: ZEX Pro; Cyan: DIY)
Quality bass with a bit more mid bass, vocal is close and center, treble is bright but but shouty.

Try a damper if you can pass it through the nozzle , start with a white for example and if it’s too loud you pass a brown or a green it should soften the top of the spectrum

Is x2 sonion 38d1xj007mi/8a a bad idea? I'm following a build including 38d1x+33aj+2389d+est65, maybe as an ultra low sub? I wanna build an U shaped set with great bass, decent mids and brilliant treble. Also, the build says that the 2389d+est65 go in the same tube, how is it possible? Do I need to stretch a tube? Or merge two tubes? Thanks for any advice!

Hi!

Quick question to the people who 3d print their customs. How do you fit in the dampers if you integrate the tubes into the print? I see many twisting tubes and was wondering how difficult it is to achieve the correct distance within the tube.
Thanks!

Working on 4x full range vented drivers in series. Considering 2 with normal vents (standard damper that comees with the driver) 1 fully open, 1 sealed. To help even out the peaks.

Anybody try this before? Do you think this would create some problem I am not aware of?

Hello everyone.

I saw that they sell on AliExpress diy se846.
I was thinking of buying them for their 16 drivers and putting them inside my CIEM. In addition, there is no need to build a crossover ...
Has anyone tried them? I would love to hear your opinion

Don't do it, it'll sound like ass without proper tuning...

And it does not come tuned? There's a crossover there. And they also show a response curve that looks very good ..

Are you still do not recommending?

What about buying the real drivers of se535?

I hade a bad experience with the bs6 .. I really did not like the result ..

I mean you said in your previous post that you're buying 16 drivers and stuffing them into a shell?

For builders in Europe - not sure if this was already dicsussed, but our trusty material supplier Danny passed away, site mcear.de is no longer open. Very sad to see this information, this person helped a lot in starting this hobby.

Follow up question - does anybody know where to buy fotoplast in small quantities in Europe? Google search did not give results, only options are to go directly to dreve and attempt to buy 500 ml for $$$ or get it from Soundlink, but that is not EU and import is applied which makes it expensive.
