Rockets rear end !!!

Pic of the rear of rocket showing how the U-frameis organised. You can see the bevelling behind the mids, the hinge hatch where the x-0 will reside eventually in its own separate compartment. The wires you see actually thread through into the x-o compartment.
This is an interesting way of doing things because you can access the x-o without affecting the bass driver, it also adds a large amount of stiffening to the bass cabinet.

You can also see that I have to rotate one of the mids by 180 degrees so both terminals are on the same side... doh !!!

Leave them as they are; cancels out even harmonic cable distortion.

I accept, with all my designs , that they will not be everyone's cup of tea. But rectangular boxes are not mine.. so all's fair !! :cool:

As for the harmonic cable distortion..... welll... I have to admit..... it is not something I had considered !!! :cannotbe:

Oh I am confused! I thought that the "Rocket" is the latest Reference speaker of the germany DIY Speaker community "HIFI SELBSTBAU"

Link to ROCKET

An active 4 Way Speaker project which seems to be High End. The guys from HIFI Selbstbau are well-known in Germany (europe) for the DIY projects (like Mindstorm Project for Monacor, MA1+2, TRIO and so on).

Just as Info....the design is also...little strange 80s style :)

regards
