Building a CHN-50 speaker bar (design by Scottmoose)

[Eardrumz]

I'm just getting back into making speakers after a decade break, and starting with a small speaker bar to cut my teeth on first up. WAF has declared that "we won't have any huge unpainted MDF boxes in the house like last time", so focus is on honing my finishing skills before moving up to larger projects.

Using the smallest MarkAudio drivers with a design by Scott Lindgren

First in-progress pics. Made a simple circle jig (it's very satisfying to router a perfect inset speaker - a first for me). Now up to the super-fun sanding and filling stage...

Scott's design recommends SAE-F10 (felt), or jute for lining, but i'm struggling to source at a reasonable price down here in New Zealand. Has anyone used woolen moving blankets or woolen weedmat? recommendations appreciated.

Welcome to diyAudio :^)

CHN-50 is a cracker of a loudspeaker.

I see Scott caught your damping query.

Thanks Dave! I'm looking forward to hearing them. Been 300hrs breaking in so far in the shed while I get my act together to actually build the box ha.
