not sure how this slipped, but i never ever ever posted completed photos from my preview. my bad! anyways they have been doing me wonders, helping maintain some semblance of sanity throughout the office, and generally keeping things upbeat.
yes i straddle my sub, but atleast i HAVE a sub at work, which is something to speak of.
i threw all my curve balls into this one. now its sort of rattle-y. no but, for real, i did all the maths i could do, all the cross bracing’s, stuffings, spacings, glueings, and what not that an amateur speaker builder could do for these guys. even got me a router so i could round the front edges. i mean really! two 8″ 12 ohm Peerless India woofers wired in series, with a 3/4″ large range Dayton Neodymium tweeter wired in parallel; bass output – per that kick ass tweeter- is lacking. takes an eq with bass on full to even out that sucker.
havent made the second one yet, tho. got all the parts. just was underwhelmed by the outcome, so… maybe ill try to get it done over xmas oh-10 break? yeah…. look for a walk through. might try a three subs in series… should lower impedance to… 4 ohm? i think thats right…
now these are some nice speakers. tang band 3″ bamboo cone, with aluminum “phase plug” that looks like a bullet nose. enclosure made of CnC milled MDF, in six layers and of 3 shapes (similar to the 4×4′s, face, middle and back). currently they are painted blood red, and fuel my tunes in my office. im a super poor documenter (i could like never do an instructable) only i cause i would only ever be able to remember to photo at the end, or like at one random point. below is post enclosure design (with 4.5 inch square foot, maybe .125cuft enclosure), and testing, and now these are the final to-be-glued-at-some-point pieces, but of course i don’t have any images of the glueing, sanding, primering, painting or installation process.
