Does any one have the time to make me a paper template of the Fostex FE206E? I dont have the moeny to buy them right now so I am working on the horns and would like to have the hole cut so its a simple process to drop them in.
Thanks

So how did this project end ...
I read through 20 pages and I'm interested in how it turned out. I'm sure it is the next 59 ... somewhere.
- Where is the final design?
- How does it sound ... how does everyone like it?
- Who built one?
Thanks,
Nick

9th design down has links to all the current drawings posted in the thread.

They sound good... not quite as cntrolled in the bass as a Fonken, but a much easier build.
We built bipoles, folded monopoles, and some straight monopoles for mounting inside walls & ceiling.

Dave, could you check link to "slim tower with Fonken tuning" on your website. 2nd from top. it leads to another design. This slim tower has most aesthetically pleasing design, I would like to see it closer 🙂
How much volume is that box? I've just designed a 4.5 litre box for the FE127 to serve as computer speakers or Bose killers.

Pretty close to Fonken tuning (but the Fonken purposely uses a port that pushes it towards aperiodic. What kind of port do you have?
dave
it's rectangular port in front, it's really hard to see on photo.
it's 3in x 0.75in and 3.75in deep.
top of cabinet is staffed with fiberfill (maybe i should add some more).
drivers' frames are covered with sculpting clay.
also bsc is added, which wasn't meant for this speaker, but fits quite nicely, at least to my taste.
it's 2.2mh inductor and 7ohm resistor.

just checked... Fonken is 13 liters tuned to 59 hz with a port with almost 6x the area of yours.

I have just read this thread from the beginning. This is great work and in the true spirit of DIYAUDIO.COM. Thank you all.
I am about to build the monopole v0.2.
Are they suitable for wall mounting?
Is any felt required, or just some polyfluff or similar?
I was about to build something with a pair of Jordan jxr 6hd, most likely a 3 litre sealed cabinet, wall mounted again.
Any idea what the sonic differences might be?
I will probably build both sets in the end.
I will be using a sub crossed at about 100Hz.
Best wishes to all.

Yes... removes any need for BSC
That is a taste and style thing. I like putting a thin layer of wool or cotton felt on the walls and using a lower density of poly-fluff thru-out the box volume.

FE126 Folded Monopole?
In post 527 Dave says the folded monopole design will not work for the 126. Why? I have a set of his modded 126s on the way and was looking at that box as a short term investment to have something to try them in until I can get to something better like the Frugel Horn. From my reading it seams like it will be due to bad bass but i' not sure if i'm right. If that is the only issue then maybe I can live with it for a few months. Could the design be changed in some way to work with the 126?
In post 373 Moray James posted about his 126 based karlson/TL box and I have searched high and low for drawings but can find nothing. Does anyone have plans for it? I like the look of that quite a bit. Thanks for any input.

The Qt of the FE126e means it is less than optimal for an ML-TL. Tim did post an ML-Voigt that looked decent

This can easily be folded (& dimensions shuffled) if needed.
I don't think Moray published drawings for his FE126 design. He has for the 166/167 thou.

Folded would fit my desire to have it small. From looking at other drawings of folded pipes it looks like I would just take the pointy end of the enclosure and put it behind the lower part. I would then need to leave a gap across the top of the internal separation. Is this correct and do any drawings exist?
Does the port need to be on the bottom or what effect would moving the port to the front have?

I like that a lot thanks for the drawing. How tight should the driver contact the cutout in the brace?
dj_oatmeal said:
The magnet should press tightly against the brace. The part where the back of the cone is needs to be more open. It will look funny, but you could minimize that by rotating the driver so that the partition lines up with a basket leg.

Have a few beginner questions about the monopole design, I decided to try this one as it looks simple to build
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=843952&stamp=1139772600
Where does the 200g of fill get placed and do I use fill as well as felt lining?
Is there something significant about the rectangle behind the driver? is that a physical part of the design or just a visual reference of some sort?
Thanks
