just wondering anybody had any success using 15mil ply for mids instead of 18mil,
would the fane 12 + 1" horn design work in 15 mil what kind of reduction in weight would you expect? the drivers will be neo versions.

Well, the
current
version does use 15mm, so you should be fine. At worst you might have to
use a bit extra bracing. Birch ply
has a density of roughly 0.7g/cm3 IIRC,
so you can compare the weights for yourself. Just add up the area of
all the panels in the cabinet, multiply by the respective thicknesses then the
density and compare the difference. I doubt you'd save more than a kilo, maybe
2 at most. HTH, David. |
