[norman bates]

Are you going to try the an15 on the phy sized open baffle ?

Norman

 

[Melon Head]

Yeah. I will get to that

 

[norman bates]

lol, whats with the baffle with multiple circles on it ?

 

[Melon Head]

That is just to confuse the hell out of you. All will become clear later

here is a video of that open baffle in action with phy drivers.
double walls with sand filling.
go to 6:30 then watch and listen.

I'd love to know what song they are listening to...............

were I not going in the direction I am, I was going to put the an15's on that hinged open baffle.

Norman

I'm not sure what made me drop into this thread, but thank you for posting that link, wow!

 

[norman bates]

yea, I know it is "little girl and guitar" music, but it sounds darn good to my with headphones through all this cpu and compressed audio. You just hear some type of magic that draws you in. Especially seeing him listen, move the baffles a bit, crouch down listening intently, nodding his head yes, then leaning forward to turn it up.

I still don't know who is singing that song............

Norman

It seems I have been performing that ritual on a regular basis now.
I can't bloody sleep. Haha.

 

[Melon Head]

Here is the open baffle test chassis. I can locate the driver anywhere up and down the baffle, and cover up the holes that I am not using. I will use cardboard initially to add wings or increase the height of the baffle. Probably add piano hinges later and use wood for the wings. Anyway just getting warmed up.

 

[Melon Head]

Actually, I already have wooden wings but I am thinking of adding phy style wings in addition to these.
Maybe I should call it the bi-plane. Or maybe f111

 

[Melon Head]

Does anyone know where I can get 8" cloth surrounds?
As soon as I find some I will be modding these Seas full range drivers.
