very nice work
Very similar to a 15" reflex I also designed recently, that I'll build when I have some time in the next month or two. K

It also looks sexy should you remove the speaker. A very professional build of which I'd like to see finished and painted etc.

The bracing was inspired somewhat by csg's thread on here. I tried to maximise what the bracing could do for minimising any vibration of the box without adding too much weight.
I've got lateral *and* cross bracing in one arrangement and the boxes are an easy lift. In use I put my hand on them and the vibration is minimal in all areas as they are clearly very stiffened by the bracing structure. Superfluous maybe but it's certainly achieving what I wanted! |

Such a nice build. As much as I want to call out the bracing as superfluous woodwork, we're all guilty of it in one way or another...

Ha Ha!
Yeah I would have been! As it was they sounded better from the start and six hours later at the end if the night they were wiping the floor with them. Noticeable difference after that time. The comparison made the peavey sound like it was playing through wet carpet. I now need to tune the boxes proper so got to read up on rew and impedance measurements. I'll update as I go! |

Would you say that you'd be a little peaved? |

I guess the general consensus is that fs shifts a little bit down as the suspension gets worked out and slightly less stiff?

Well it's up and running at an event. Tighter, cleaner more punchy And goes lower than the peavey it's replacing.
What difference does a brand new driver make? How do they change as they bed in? |

Thanks for all the positive comments.
Can't wait to get them running. If they dont sound better than my peaveys I'm going to be upset! |
