I tried slowly removing the impressions from the wax for a REALLY long time. It always made rings.
When I say slowly must also not go like a snail:D I said slowly not to say to remove it very quickly at once, the videos do not miss to see the good execution:wink:

I’ve never had a problem with this method.

I had to just experiment with temperatures to find the right degree that I could naturally remove it without a problem.

I have made 2 of above for tunning 4 set of drivers in series and parallel instantly, its really saving a lot of efforts and times to set the driver to the desire FR, I'm late , I know lot of DIYers' in here have this already.

I'm now playing around the Sonion e50dt with Knowles 31736. The above is the combine FR of Sonion e50dt with Knowles 31736.

Below is e50dt FR in green and the orange is 31736. e50dt have a dip at 6.5k. I use the peak of 31736 at 6k to 8k to fill up the dip at 6.5K, shorter tube lenght of 31736 will move the peak to the right.

Now this is nice... Do these two driver share tube or are in different lenghts?

Hi guys, I've decided to go with a simple GK build this time, starting with the green damper on TWFK and red on the CI, as a start point.
I'm more interested in tubing size and what's worked well for others, before experimenting too much.
Most of the tutorials I've found online seem to go with the first option that in the pic that I've added below, but wouldn't having a 1mm ID be less than ideal for the high's of the TWFK?
I can fit 2mm ID tubing (like option 2) inside my custom shells, but it's been a crazy tight squeeze in previous builds.
Would option 3 be a good compromise with the 1.5mm ID tubing? Or a mixture of the three options?

What's been everyone's tubing method with any simple GK builds?

How could I confirm that should I Reverse CI/3300 when using WBFK from TWFK or single WBFK? I have tried both way to connect the driver, I feel like when I connect all of them in normal +/- way, sound of wbfk is gone. When I connect it reversed, it sound more "". Thanks

Has anyone tried Knowles RDU? Seems to be a dual version of RAU. Would two RAUs be beneficial or is one good enough?
I have. Great drivers, but hard to tune tho. Dual has higher output, different impedance, and lower THD but the overall sound is similar.
