  • Cool. Laminated again?
  • MALfunction said: How big 800 wide, 1200 tall, about 300 deep I think. The cross-section (from above) won't be rectangular, more oval. I think (from memory) that will get me into the ballpark, about 160L ported.
  • Completion by specified date is not looking very promising at this point.... This is a small delicate system, although it does work pretty good for a little 5' woofer. Xzibit can wait for the big system, I have a concept design for the cabinet bu…
  • MALfunction said: Just put the matrix bracing on the out side . Hi Mal, I love the look, it reminds of the machine in The Fly! I've thought of trying it with arced bracing, e.g. thicker in the center of the cabinet. Finishing it would be …
  • Hm... not sure about that... after all the port is only 30cm long and it makes a difference... Suppose you had a shelf brace across the enclosure, with a few 3mm holes drilled in it. That would make a difference, right? Make the holes bigger, a…
  • Hey, which Cambridge player beats the Oppo? TBH I'm not really thrilled with the analogue out on the BDP-103.
  • Hi Martin, what type of stuff are you recording?

  • Any idea of the cost Mal? That reminds me... I have a couple of bamboos that needs to be dug up, should try and get to it while the soil's soft... (from all the rain)
  • Is the bamboo ply made like regular ply or more like a chopping block?
  • Nothing better than a sticky vinyl seat on a hot summer day... The only possible worse thing would be sheepskin... ewurgh

  • Hi Doc, Sydney Northern beaches. Would love to hear your stats one day though!
  • I've given up on the circular sub idea for now, and going back to plan A, build two compact subs. In the end the size is 312x312x586 mm. Wood: One sub has a plate amp, the other doesn't. Here's a mockup of the one with the plate amp sub-en…
  • Whew..... (Hi Rhett!)

  • Maybe! I'll call and see if I can find out how big it is.

  • Hi Martin, do you have pics of your construction online? Would love to see them. Just wondering how you actually made them. Did you use parts from ER Audio?
  • FWIW my isobaric subs are about that size and I've never really noticed a problem with flexing. However they are birch ply, I think MDF will flex more. The upcoming ones will have bracing though. The "shelf" style of bracing seems to me like a waste…
  • Ha hah, thanks Nigel. 'Fraid that lump of lead is yours to deal with MALfunction said: We will be looking for a new TV as well .John what's the power consumption on some of these new TV's .My old Pana 50" plasma usage is 600watts ,the 42" …

  • Can you do it in the driveway? Vacuum is a great invention though. I'm thinking now something like this instead: This is instead of two small boxes - make one "push-pull" sub. It's like a short table. With the top (shown as the circle) …
