1st up here are the 0v9 plans (QC everyone, Scott check to make sure i didn't miss something)
Visualization of the 3 next to the Zigma (Brynn, Gabriel, Oliva, Zigmahornet) -- Olivia turns out to be quite a bit chunkier than Zigma...

Outstanding!
Looking forward to the measures when available and will get ready to shake some dust (as the guy said in " Carnivale' "
Which is the Brynn? Reading left right or right left?

Looking at the tallest one (assuming Olivia) if the cabinet were squared off and, as I'm seeing the taper at the bottom...
If there were 2 lipped cleats attached top and bottom and a semi flexible material was used snapped into place to provide a slight
curve would that ruin everything or otherwise mess up the design?

Brynn is the short one -- interestingly with the lowest extension in the bass (but probably also the most excursion limited)

I cut off the top back of Olivia to make iit take on more of the aspect of the Zigma
You are talking about a Revel-style grill? I like the look & the concept, you just have to make sure you don't get any rining from the spars... fiberglass tent poles might be good raw material.

I wonder how the FX-120 would do in a similar box, given its better excursion and similar fs.

Thanks for your input.
You're welcome!
Bummer! Acoustically this sucks since each speaker gets a different boundary loading plus there's this large cavity resonant chamber.
Re: Wow!
Scott of course... he designs them, i draw them (and provide feedback)

Some of the other spawns have had the FX120 slot right in, so it is possible.

Erm, what's a Revel style grille?
This would be a concave flex at the upper and lower mouthes of the vent. I thought I could get away with Masonsite that's thin. The concept was used in one of those... ack... can't think of the name... but right angled at the base and tapers up the front. Sides were cut from one piece of stock along the diagonal of the sheet goods. You put a back on and the front has a port at the bottom. To round the corner at the bottom, the curved piece was used.
I can't recall the material. But I don't like the looks of plexiglass
(perspex to you) for being shiny and expensive.
Something like linoleum or countertop laminate. I haven't been on a dumpster dive in a while.
Masonite seems to have all the neutral audio properties and is the right color.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

OK you are talking about replacing the straight strike plate with a curved shape? That wouldn't work without a complete redsign... if you want something swoopy then a curvy Harvey, Iris or Bruce would work.

RKH said:I suspect it is Dave demonstrating that either (stepped vs solid piece) is acceptable. At least that has been the case with the other designs. Also, the stepped at the bottom adds a bit more mass there, perhaps making it a bit more stable.
Exactly. Any combination of steps, slanted baffles, back corners on or off, works.

And before the day is over, a teaser -- this one is called Jill FakeHorn (for FE126) & she has a brother Jack (he looks suprisingly similar to a Hornshoppe horn as long as you don't look at the back) These are distant cousins of the Changs. They are designed for corner placement.

Hey, fake Frugel I wonder how it would sound next to the original ..
P.S. Dave, you could design it with whole sides but just small front-side, and put shelves below for storing CDs
- Home
- Loudspeakers
- Full Range
- Spawn of Frugel-Horn
