Fostex FE206NV2 Backloaded horn assembly

[Oleksandr Baiev]

Hi. I plan to make FE206NV2 backloaded horn. The specification sheet gives a blueprint for it. I already ordered 18mm plywood with cutting to dimensions. My questions is how to assemble it?

I am not a professional carpenter, but I have some experience. I made several cabinets however I used screws in assembly. In this project I want to use only glue (Titebond).

So is it ok to make it without screws?

In what order do you suggest I should asseble?

I also want to protect it with varnish so moisture will not influence the plywood. How to apply this varnish inside?

Any advices are welcomed. 🙂


PS. I have different types of clamps (I haven't bought 1200mm ones yet, but they are in process) and also bought a pair of clamps for a corner.

Note that the Fstex factory horns are mediocre at best. You can do better.

And i should mention there are some fairly simple mods that help with the rough spots of the FE206
