DIY Waveguide loudspeaker kit

I dont know, but you may not need to order very many woofers from AE to get a discount

Maybe we could do a group-buy on custom AE woofers but I doubt we could ever agree on it

Anyway, wouldnt it cut down cost if there was only one Geddes model

Probably yes. I tried it in the past, you know that.

Had the hope that you do better than http://www.linkwitzlab.com/ or http://www.musicanddesign.com/ to name two other ugly sites.

I am not a car manufacturer and I can't afford to hire people to do everything.

To you, all sites but what you do are "ugly".

Even with their best discount the AE woofers are more than what I buy now. Thats not a "cost cut".

Not at all. Even a simple site can look beautiful. Take a look at sites listed on http://www.minimalsites.com/
But it's true that a lot of audio sites are really unprofessional. Obviously those people are better in creating loudspeakers than websites.

Best, Markus

For rear mounting I was going to suggest L-clips similar to pjpoes' link.

For inside mounting you could make them from plywood for next to nothing; they could probably just be flat.

You guys don't quit understand the construction of the baffle so a lot of that won't work. The speaker can't sit flat on the baffle, it has to be in a hole of depth 1/2". But I do think that clamping from the back has potential. Thanks

"The speaker can't sit flat on the baffle, it has to be in a hole of depth 1/2"."

Maybe there'ssomething I'm not aware of, but I don't see the problem.

In fact, that's even better; with less of the basket protruding, a flat clamp will be more feasible because it will be at a smaller angle.

What if the basket at that point is less than 1/2"?

"What if the basket at that point is less than 1/2"? "

Then you use an L-shape clamp to reach in, a spacer ring, or a shim under the end of a flat clamp.

I think that you are missing the point. I can do the engineering, I'm not that incompetent, but I'm not about to have "spacer rings" and "L-shape clamps" tooled and fabricated. Either the fasteners are off-the-shelf or they are not-an-option.
