Advanced & comprehensive miniOnken plan-sets for the Mark Audio & for the new Fostex FFxx5wk are/will be available for a subscription fee. Not all are as complete as i'd like (and even those that are will keep growing) and some have grown so fast they need reorganization (so please excuse that).
Available for the [CHR70 (all)/CHP70.2/CHBW70], Alpair 6.x, Alpair 7.x, [EL70/Pluvia Seven/CHP70.1], A10x, A12/12p, A12pw & Fostex FF85wk, FF105wk (which includes a set of mods to use FE103 SOL), FF125wk. Some FF165wk plans exist (same as A10p enclosures (with adjustments) so more can be quickly done) FF225wk under development (based on same enclosures as Alpair 12pw).
Rectanguar & trapezoid miniOnkens with vents on the side, simplier Classic Golden Ratio, and Compact Floorstanders are included in the plansets where appropriate. Custom designs done to cover client needs are also included. Other variations for wall mounting, more centres, and dedicated mid-tweeter use. And more. Included are details (where appropriate), cut-plan suggestions, tips, visualizations, and other information wher eit is useful.
Many enclosures have been standardized, with vent & driver details changing as needed. For example there are 6 widths of trapezoids (so far) with height changing to accomodate different volumes.
Plans are not a 1-shot deal, but a subscription (except for the Monster miniOnkens). I am always adding to them, and doing updates for specific clients (ie if you have available material that is not a thickness i have already done drawings for, i will generate plans for that thickness, or if you need a variation of a box to fit a specific need). Plans are also updated as questions & suggestions come in. There is much work to do, but any specific client needs will be taken to the top of the queue.
CAD plans for specific pdf pages can be provided on request.
Plans will be revised as needed for when drivers are revised.
Plans based on Mark Audio drivers are $25 USD each for EL70/P7, CHR/CHP/CHBW, A6x, A7x, for A10x, for A12x, A12pw. A subscription to the entire series is $80.
Plans are $25 USD each for FF85wk, FF105wk, FF125wk, FF165wk ar ein place & FF225wk is under development and will be the same price, A subscription to the entire series will be $80.
Tandband W8-1772 $25
HiEnd miniOnken plans for Lowther PM6A/C, Voxativ AC1.6, Tannoy HPD 385 are $50
Condensed plans (single drawings in most cases) for the Monster miniOnken series $10USD:
for Goodmans Axiom 201, Diatone 810 II, Dayton PS180/220 , Eminenence 12LTA, Tandband W8-1808, Tannoy Gold 12", Tannoy 385, Audio Nirvana 10 Cast Frame, Audio Nirvana 10 Neo, Airborne 6.5
Sealed box for ScanSpeak 32w-4878T $25
Canadian clients add appropriate GST/HST.
Plan-sets for other drivers will be done as appropriate drivers (ones we like and think are good value) come along.
The 1st paid planset was going to be for the Fonken with FE127, but the discontinuation of the driver stalled that one. That planset, as far as it got, is available on request for free.

Snap shots of some of the plan-set title sheets to give an idea of the content you get. These will quickly become out of date (no matter howmany times i update this post 😀)

Ask Chris how he finds time for his day job!!
BTW, buy these plans, folks. Dave's cabinet plans are a steal.
These enclosure/driver combinations are superior performers.

lost count after 20 pairs of Fonken Prime and family for Fostex and MA drivers - not counting minis, micros and Frugel Horns - 2 pairs of the FH3 ongoing as this is typed
The plan set for EL70, does it include plans for the first generation CHP70? I have a couple of drivers in need of a onken-style box.

Ben,
eMail me about the commercial licencing, it is quite straight forward.
An FF125wk floorstander in the same vien as Fonken or Mar-Kel floorstander ii could be done, but over half of it would be dead space.

No. I would have to design a different box, but they would, from the outside, look like either of those 2 boxes.

Hi Dave,
When the design will be done? Will you design floostand cabinet for ff165,225wk?
Thank you
Ben

A floorstander for FF125 will come if requested by a subscriber. FF165 & 225 plansets will have floorstanders.

Dave: Did you ever do this? I really like the 125 and if there was dead space at the bottom I could add something special there 🙂
Dave,
Just noticed that there's a "Tall" Trapezoid version almost like a small floor stander for the A10.2 - this larger box is expected to give lower frequency extension vs the standar version.
Have you planned anything for the A12P with a tall like that which can hopefully coax more bottom end vs what you are getting now?

Yes the larger box goes a bit lower. At 686mm it is almost a floorstander... needs about 350 mm of "stand" to bring the driver up to an appropriate height. That could be reduced a bit by pushing the driver up on the baffle a bit.The Twin version of this is an interesting looking beast, one would have to deal with some 1/4 wave.
