Bilavideo refers to CI driver I think. Putting 2200 Ohms (red) at TWFK is an overkill and noone does that.

By the way, what do you guys think is the cheapest decent LF driver out there (Doesn't have to be CI-22955 amazing)? Something sold by Mouser, Digikey, etc. preferably. After my CK10 customs, I'm thinking of making a low budget custom. TWFK+the LF driver you suggest.

CI is actually relatively cheap compared to others already. The cheapest would be BK, but BK's are good in mid and not lows. CI would say is still the best bet.

 

[Thrashingshrimp]

Alright, I guess the CI-22955 is THE LF driver to use then.

Interesting...

PS: Apparently I'm a 20 minute drive form the Knowles Acoustics World Headquarters. Can anyone say 'field trip'?

 

[FYJX]

Or ask for some samples???!! =D

 

[Thrashingshrimp]

I don't know. They aren't responding to my emails. And it would seem weird to go to them in person and ask for handouts. If I can, I may buy something though

I'm only 16 though, so my parents gotta drive me. Not sure if they are interested...>_>

 

[FYJX]

Hahaha I see. I'd be glad to go with you, but i'm 16 too...

Just wanted you to see my post here regarding using Radians "custom molded earplugs" as a way to make custom shells.

and I'm subscribing

Btw if you're 16 you shouldn't make customs, your ear canal is still growing and changing. There's possibility that you will loose propper seal thus you'll need to take a new impressions and remold

Yeah right, I know that

I asked an audiologist already. They say that your ears never stop growing, but it tends to settle in around the ages of 16-18. I haven't lost my seal for my almost one year old ES3X's

and besides, $159 every two years isn't that bad. That averages about...$5 a month? I can live without a cup of coffee for a month =)

Right, especially people who are using hearing aids have to make remolds after 2-3 years because their ear canals are getting bigger.

Nice calculation though

 

[FYJX]

Well for my age, it should be about 2-3 years.As you get older, they grow slower. And your ears tend to grow slower at around ages 16-18. I'm sure older hearing aid users will need to get a remold after sometime, but maybe not every 2-3 years.
