Some sort of uniquelly shaped speaker or sub I would assume. Show us some more pictures as things progress.

Coneheads without the cone

or

Camouflaged Gold bullion

or

Adding a deck onto the house

.... I give up?????

How often does the cleaner come in?

A trnsmission line sub pipe?

Looks like it might resemble Nelson Pass's big pipes?

Rabbitz has got it !

Yep, its a variant of "Conehead". Its going to end up as a 6ft tall tapered quaterwave pipe.. Using the Seas T17RE + tweeter

Whether I leave them as 12 sides, or find a way to smooth them down to circular has yet to be decided.
And they will eventually get a cap to suit and a "different" colour scheme

Woohoo.... what's the prize?

I get a listen when they're finished hey.

AJinFLA · 19th August 2005, 05:48 PM

Andy G · 19th August 2005, 11:37 PM

Excellent stuff Andy,

Your sense of fun is admirable.

Keep up the interesting projects!

Here is a 3d render someone did a fair while ago. I tried to do it with a orizontal layered structure, but mdf is too weak parallel to its surface even with pins through it, one fell over and broke in half, so that was that :-(

Thing is, I rather like the Corinthian effect, so I may leave it as it is.
If I decide to smooth it to circular I will have to rig up something similar to a lathe. That does sound like a lot of work, but also a lot of fun !!! :-) maybe a tad dangerous too :-)
