Science is everything
I know I have had a few builds so far this year but this is the real one, finally lol
The real build started today and will follow through the next two weeks. This is a SS NW build in my daily driver. Here's the updates for the season plans:
Then onto the box which will be my pride and joy. John at AE helped me run transfer function tests to find not only the transfer function but which configuration would be the loudest for sub and port displacement. After rigorous testing subs up, port up is the verdict. That way I can have maximum airspace and not worry about my port too close to the hatch. Also 43hz and 55hz were the peak frequencies. John helped me design up the box so I have ten cubes all below window line. Interchangeable ports, two are slots, and one is a set of 4 aeros. Today we made all the bracing necessary and the top two baffles. We used all 8 ply baltic birch, everything was cut on the CNC table. I then went over each part with a 1/8" round over and a circular sander. I will let the pics do the rest of the talking, and try and get a vid of the CNC table in action, man is that thing help a bit.
Terminals from Toolmaker
Transfer Functions
CNC starting on bracing
Finished
Any box builders dream
More Pieces
The little helper
Some bracing together
Top over bracing
I have shows and work in the mean time but I will resume/finish this next Saturday. Hoping to have a new alt in by then as well, so I can do testing with each individual drop in port.
The real build started today and will follow through the next two weeks. This is a SS NW build in my daily driver. Here's the updates for the season plans:
- I have two DC lvl 5s that are 15" d.7
- I will be keeping the DD Z2lv until I upgrade to two RD D9s
- The Eclipse AVN7000 which is in with the new Ipod touch
- My new custom made terminals from ToolMaker are done and I can not wait
- Three new NSB90s will be picked up tomorrow at the show
