Inspired by the late Zilch from audioKinesis, and so many happy builders of his designs, I am building a pair of Econowave speakers to find out what's all the hubbub.
Shane's curiosity was piqued by the hundreds of thousands of posts on several different forums about this concept, so he offered to sponsor the research. Parts arrived today, scattered all over my living room like Christmas morning.
In the next few days I'll pull together a cabinet design from the ideas I have been kicking around, and get something built.
I intend to build two speakers. This first will be a straight up Econowave Delite, per the exact recipe laid out here:

I have 4 Eminence Deltalite II 2512s from my previous DIY speaker build, so I will recycle those for this project.
The intention at this point is to build a floorstanding, bass reflex speaker with either one woofer, or two woofers for a 2.5 way.
