got an idea.

just looking for input on basic design.

specs are dead on for drivers and cross over is being professionally designed.

what speakers??

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

a ring radiator and 4 6.5's. I don't like giving brand names because then it becomes more about the equipment then the actual design.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you it's good stuff. Comes out to a little under $2000 each tower. enclosure is 1'' thick and planing to use bamboo plywood. I may run bracing in it as well.

I think that you should use oticica to build them... beautiful wood, very dense, and VERY expensive...

If I was to use any exotic wood it would still be made out of bamboo just use exotic veneer. I have a hook up on bamboo and want to try it out for a car build.

That's what I was thinking it's amazing what you can cover in laminate/veneer!

I'll have to see how the xover comes out. I'm horrible at x over design, especially at attenuating a tweeter while leaving it loud enough to blend with 4 6.5's

just playing with aesthetics.

I had some sick jbl's back in the day the where dual 6.5"s with a bi-radial silk dome tweeter mounted in a horn, the nice part was they where bi-amp capable so running the horns on separate channels so I could bring them up/down as needed, but they where almost exactly like your design minus 2 6.5"s but ported the same way back when a flared port was a "new" idea!

lookin good. are you going to round over the bottom half of the stand?

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

I left .5" after the round over to help it be more stable. They won't be 45° they will be a 1.5'' round over I was just to lazy to do round overs in sketch up it's a pain in the ***.

this is how the bracing will be, I need to point out no bracing is directly in the center of any plane, and none interferes with the 1/4 wave function in the enclosure. The random size and location of the round holes in the bracing breaks up standing waves as well.

How was the box modeled? Who is doing the xo design?

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

sketch up and a local guy.
