Hi all,
This is my first build so I thought, for what its worth, I would post details of my efforts for the world to see / admire / laugh at. Also, as the sum total of my knowledge is pilfered from here I felt the need to give something back. For no other reason than the variety of designs available for the Fostex FE127E (at http://www.planet10-hifi.com - thanks folks) I decided to start with a pair of those. I chose the Gabriel (see, http://www.frugal-horn.com/spawn-plans.html) as it looked easy to build and I really fancy the idea of a horn. So here goes, any tips, advice or questions post 'em here. Al |

It's not really a horn; more a waveguide. But it will sound rather like one.

Hi Alistair72.
Looking forward to it. I've got a pair of FR125s in small ported boxes here. As the saying goes, I will show you mine if you show me yours! I'm currently on the Wirral if you get time. John |

The drivers are running in, sat in the box they came in.
A bit sibilant and not much bass unless you lift one up, but I have heard much worse in gear costing much more. So considering they are both in an un-ported box knocked up with sticky tape - I think it bodes well. |

The planning phase.
I thought about this for a bit and decided a good cutting sheet was the way to go. Also the 'most excellent' timber yard near me had no issues with cutting all the pieces for me including the odd angles. |
