Nice work. I do have one comment for those wanting to do something similar. In the lower frequencies you need longer line lengths to achieve the same nearfield projection distance. Also the spacing of woofers becomes a non-issue, so use the entire height for your woofer array even if you use only a handful of woofers. In this example the wavelength of 300hz is 45".
something smells fishy
Do these look familiar? A little bit of special "Ad Copy" going on don't you think?

Re: something smells fishy
That's funny as hell!
Feandil should work for Bose's marketing department, he's got the right mix of bulls**t and blatent liberty taking.
My fav part is the bit:
More like I knocked them up, by myself in the shed!
Also like how you didn't actually name the mysterious ex-designer from McIntosh, Thylantyr will be shocked to learn that he once worked for them. You must be a busy man running a shop, building speakers and doing Uni.
Ah, sorry Feandil, I had no idea you were such a creative person. This is another reason why I never buy anything of expense from ebay as there's just too many people trying to rip you off.

Re: something smells fishy
Yeah - I think the owner is trying to prove that he can get $3K for them. See thread in Texas.
He has proven one claim made in that thread - my claim of dishonesty. $10K in parts he says in the eBay ad!!! And that's in the ad title! The rest is well, uh, very creative as the previous poster says.

I have a friend who buys civil war miniatures and/or paints the
miniatures and sells them on ebay. The jingle he uses is
"These rare miniatures were found in my grandpa's attic, these
are treasured rare items", etc. He gets people to pay $300
for something that cost him $40..
Thylantyr will be shocked to learn that he once worked for them.
Why would you assume that I did not ???
It's ok for Bose to sell you $1 drivers for $2000, the different is
in the packaging

Re: Re: Re: something smells fishy
Another excellent example of scammers on ebay and my reason for avoiding it. Also just because you have a friend that lies does that mean its ok then? I'm sure the world would be in an even worst state than it already is if everyone took that attitude.
I guess you've got a soft spot for these type of people otherwise why would you continue to defend what everyone else see's as wrong.
The ever escapable laws of probability, I was 99.99% sure I was correct in that statement.
No it isn't, thats why I mentioned Feandil and them would get on like a house on fire. At least with the Bose you get amplification, multiple sources and a guarantee.

Oh yes, I told him I hope he gets that for them back in the other thread he started.
But its the unbelievable lies that make the mind boggle, especially after knowing what has passed.
Also you simply cannot factor in 200-300 hours onto the cost of DIY speaker. The people who are buying them don't care, its the material value, craftsmanship and overall quality of the product they value.
