WA state... you aren't fat away. 4 pr of FH3 here, 2 of them set up for swapping drivers.

I'll definitely be taking you up on that at some point. Would be interesting to bring up the TB FAST speakers when I finish them as well.

That amount of kiln dried cherry, or any hardwood would cost a fortune here in the UK but they do look great! Good work
Yes, I have no complaints with them in the FH3 enclosure, and my ears actually need a little extra up top.MA CHR-70.3 should have plenty of top end
thanks JJ. now you have me convinced that I need the 105. anyone care to compare the ff105 to the alpair 7.3 in the mk3?
Haven't made that comparison myself, and am not one to bet, but my money'd be on the Alpair
anyone care to compare the ff105 to the alpair 7.3 in the mk3?
I will have more pairs of FF105wKeN to play with shortly. It is a very good driver, i don't think as good as A7.3eN but close enuff that others might prefer it. I don't think the FF105 is as mechanically capable of generating bass.

Thank's!! They are made of the remains of material of the previous big project)))That amount of kiln dried cherry, or any hardwood would cost a fortune here in the UK but they do look great! Good work
Great work! Do they sound as good as they look? Have you tried any other enclosures for the fe108es? How does the bass compare?

Sound perfectly! I compared to the recommended enclosure and to a horn for 126. FH3 the best!

The cost of such boxes at us about 300-350$)))

No guarantee it's better, I can only say I like mine.
Hello everybody, my father and I are making some frugal horns and will be ready to assemble them this weekend. I'd like some recommendations on stuffing material and how much to use for fostex ff125wk drivers. Sorry for the basic question, I'm very new to this and the issue of stuffing is kind of confusing to me. Also I apologize if this has been asked before, I couldn't find any info on these particular drivers.
Thanks,

When using solid woods are you managing to find the width for, say, a side panel from one piece of timber or several glued together.
I can access hard woods here I would like to use which are tongue and grooved, would glueing these together compromise sound? and would it be a better material than good ply ?? Thanks

Not IME, though I did bond heavy duty commercial corrugated cardboard 'backing plates' to make sure they stayed locked in place. The only difference I noticed was that they were much heavier since the used flooring was ~7/8" [22.2 mm] thick. Some folks at the time used plain cardboard with diagonal bracing like some cheap furniture manufacturers did with thin 'butcher block' coffee, end, tables, etc..

One of the ways to minimize that solids tend to move is to use a "butcher block" for the panels.
