Looks great! I'd like to see more bracing in a cabinet of this size, but I'd guess it'll cross over quite low so it may not matter too much. Keep up the good work
Yeah im thinking the same, but when i knock on the cabinet now it sounds good! In the worst case i can always add more later
Im going to cross over att 80 or 100hz!
Thanks!
Meow?
So i'm starting a new project, it's a three way floorstander named after the latin word for angle. I will be using these drivers:
Tweeter: Scan Speak Illuminator R3004/602000
Mid: Accuton 6.5in, C173-8-094
Bass: Scan speak 10" 26W/4558T00
This will be crossed over by two minidsp:s, one for the tweeter and mid and one for the bass.
This is the design i will try to achieve. I can post more pics if you want to but the size is aprox 110cm high and at the widest point 32cm, and about 40cm deep.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Hopefully i will start to cut some mdf this week. Im waiting for europe audio to send the woofers. I already got the tweeters and mids.
So please tell me what you think
Regards
Sebastian
Why did you choose this particular cabinet shape?
Thanks!
I think i will add some later
Interesting as in bad
?Since im crossing actively im going to try different freq/slopes! But somewhere around 2500 i think!

I made the design and i like it so thats why! Wanted to make something other then just a square...
awesome design Tiger.
i see that you r embedding neo magnets to hold e grills.
it might be a little late to suggest that it is best glue em in their pockets with say epoxy.
takin e grills off repeatedly might gradually rip em out.
also they tend to gather ferromagnetic dust n pull em into the finish if u leave e grills off.
more pics pls!

I secured them with mixture of whiteglue and sawdust+bondo on top so i think (hope) they will hold in place! And i think the grills will me on most of the time
Thats a bigger problem thou! But i think when that happens i will have built new speakers
I'l post some more pics then! Sorry for the bad quality of the pics btw. But i dont want to drag my Leica out to the workshop
It takes so long time for the paint to dry so thats why the progress is a bit slow!

My only really concern with the tweeter is power handling, hence the question. 2500/4th order will be fine.
I'm using the D3004/6020 in a current design (similar to the R3004, but with a deeper chamber).
Yep it's called Festool TS 55
(TS 55 EQ Plunge Cut Circular Saw - PLUNGE CUT CIRCULAR SAWS - Festool)You can adjust the bevel from 0-45° in 1° steps! It's really great. And with the guide rail you can't do wrong!
/Sebastian
That would also be an excellent option! I've got something similar in the bottom of the cabinets for the feet, but they are blind.
Looking good Sebastian, and I wouldn't call it slow progress at all!!!
Tony.
Yeah, it's a great tool I have one as well. I meant to ask about bevel angles greater than 45 (which result in a less than 45 degree angle with respect to the plane of the cut piece). To do this, I ended up having to use a table saw and cutting the piece up on it's edge, but would love a safe way to do this with the track saw..
Finally finished!!!
Here are some pictures of the speakers and my messy room
/S
I really like these. Cheers!
