That's what I thought too. 😀
I guess there's always fiddling around with tapered 'crossovers', delay networks, and the like. He could always enabl all the drivers. That would take some time. 😉
BTW, nice job, the look great...

Testing the R8 fillets on the 6mm thick front baffle:
This was after a light quick polish. I'm happy with the result. The fillet is exactly as planned in my drawings:
After a little more polishing:
So far I am pleased. This is going to work.
excuse the phone quality pictures

Can't argue with that finish! 🙂
What polish are you using?
The pics are fine, but expect pro quality once your done! They/you deserve that 😉

Maguires metal polish with a paper towel.
That is after sanding with pads and 400 wet sandpaper.
It will get better, this was a quick wipe to see what it could do.

Yes, bare aluminium for now, just like in the rendering. The stands were polished a year ago and still look stunning today. Maybe if I have money again I'll think about anodising them clear.
Right now, everything I do is on a very tight budget. I'm broke.... 😀
Luckily I have all the parts I need already, just need more time to get it all together.
(well, maybe a little less shiny, you know, like real polished aluminium)

Have a can of Meguires myself and yes it will get alot better. 🙂
esgigt, chrome like finishes aren't painted, just sealed with clearcoat or wax or anodized, if anything.
so I just joined this forum yesterday, and I started looking around at peoples projects this morning. These line arrays are absolutely mind blowing. I can only imagine the perseverance and patience and endurance required to do something like this. Even just from reading this thread, I almost cried when I saw the crack. If these things sound and image half as well as they look, you will truly have an excellent pair of speakers.
Hi PKI,
Are you talking about the piece of aluminum, cut with a jig saw and HM router bits normally used for wood and then polished to a soft sheen?
Basically it's just a lot of work 😀. I'll polish it to high gloss later on but it's going to see a lot more abuse first, milling down the other holes.
Hi shersch, thanks and welcome to the forum.

Wesayso - you should print your renderings and current satus and showcase/ask for anodized job sponsor...seriously. 🙂
Seriously good suggestion
The actual cost of anodizing is quite low. Easy enough todo at home, but at this size scale not so. So the actual cost to the sponcer would be low, while return on investment is very high. Nothing beats free advertising once the bartering is factored in.
Great idea Halair 😀. But after seeing the result of another quick polish I'll stick to that for the time beeing.
(this is the other side, all holes are rounded on one baffle. But I just had to try (lol).
Now I have to buy me some polishing tools 🙄
I'm convinced I can easily get a mirror shine...

It all look fantastic 🙂. I can totally understand if you want to go natural color/mirror shine... But if you want a color tint try my approach, I think your project could easily sell that idea 😉
