Picture of my main speakers

markp · 18th June 2004, 10:27 PM

Here is a photo of my main speakers I built several years ago. They are all Scanspeak drivers, 18w8544's and 9500 tweeters. The cabinet I made is octagonal with four figure-8 braces, one below each driver and one half of the way down. The bottom 8 inches is a sand filled chamber sealed off from the rest of the cabinet. It is rear ported. I've loved them for about 6 or 7 years now and I'm sure there are more to come.

Thanks, there are a lot of structural benifits along with the looks.

How did you get it to stick to the wall like that?

Yeah, and about those STIFF curtains on the ceiling? lol

It's done with mirrors, of course.
