Plans for Vampyr are available from Scott - 15GBP - cheaper than the cost of material. (please don't use MDF for these 😉)

I don't have a test CD but there is pipe organ bass provided you have your ear next to one of the 4 ports. Based on a solid 15 minutes of listening, I'd say that the bass would be fine in a small room with the speakers in the corners.
I've built a pair of Needles, Bricks, TABAQs and BIBS. The Vampyr-Vs have a different sound which grabs your attention. These enclosures will show you which of your CDs are compressed and which are not.
The cutting sheet is well worth PayPaling $AU23. to Woden Design.
I'm in Melbourne and rent space at The Wooden Boat Centre 'cause they've got table, chop and band saws, benches etc.
The Vampyr-Vs were a fun build, I can't wait to paint them. The owner said he wanted them red(!).

Hi,
No worry with humidity for these metal-cone drivers. Even had some paper cones for 20 years without any problem. Always better to have a fan to use when someone takes a shower !

As long as you keep the tunes flowing, there will mostly be positive pressure inside the cabinet to keep the damp air out. 😀
Cool project!
Cool project!
not exactly fullrange but very close to it. That is mutual project with Rogozhin. Old school rocks!))

Hi there. I've "inherited" a pair of Richard Allan CG12 TC speakers and would like to build full-range cabs for then. Anyone have data sheets / Thiele-Smalls for these speakers?

I built my Hedlunds ten years ago and I am very happy with them. They have AER full range drivers. In addition the midrange is crossed over to a Raven ribbon tweeter at 2 Khz with a gradual slope. This removes some of the abnomalities from the whizzer cone. The tweeter is not horn loaded but very efficient and is located underneath the AER driver and is hidden behind the grille. (see pic)

Hi John. They can be found here http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/33249-richard-allan-speakers-t-s-parameters-attached.html

On day 3 of break in. Getting more bass, less shouty just as everybody said they would.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

'had a pair of TABAQs sitting around doing nothing so I butchered them to make PC speakers. They now sit behind my wife's monitor.

Tilroh,
Nice way to make Tabaq pc speakers. I had similar idea with a flat panel stereo MLTL that uses Vifa TC9FD drivers. It sounds very balanced with great punchy bass down to 50 Hz.
Design is here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/223313-foam-core-board-speaker-enclosures-147.html#post3400954
Ryani, has built this both as separate units split in half and as a full stereo panel with success. I use mine as pc speakers to listen to mp3's in the office.

The drivers Audax full rangers cost me £10 for the pair the box a Voight pipe was built from an old shoe rack. Amazingly for such a non optimised design I get down in to the 50hz reason about 3db or so down in a sealed box it was around 100hz. For £12 I am well pleased had to get some more wood glue.
