Cube Audio FC8 speaker build help

[MarkHannington]

Hello everyone,

I want to build this (plan below) bass reflex cabinet for the Cube Audio FC8 driver. This is my first attempt and I have some questions.

1. Are there any acoustic downsides to screwing the back panel in place so access to the interior can be maintained ?

2. There is a label on the side elevation drawing which says "This section might be filled with sand". What are the pros and cons of doing so, and what would be the process for filling / removing the sand ?

3. I have an oak floor which is laid on concrete. What sort of speaker feet would be best ?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Mark

Given the aspect ratio of the box it looks more like a not well thot out ML-TL.

I haven’t looked at this particular driver in a reflex box, but Scott did do a proper ML-TL for them.

Feet - keep it simple.
A Tap Washer glued to each corner would prevent it sliding across the floor and also prevent damage to the floor.

We use felt pads.

Im looking for MMD, MMS and RMS parms for the FC8. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone know the values?
