Pictured hear with the SD740N on a PH2723 on an adaptor, and the SGLA (Super Gypsie Line Array)
(awaiting furthers coats of navy blue paint)

Loaded with random drivers out of my Wharfedale cabs, and sounding good with a flat and wide response. I had them out at a festy this weekend with nothing but good feedback.

Thats great I am just getting insomnia to build me some of those so thats very positive feedback!
 
One question, how are the handle ports for lifting those things? Pleasure or pain?

All you need to know is:
Sensitivity + Power Handling - Power Compression = Max Output

Could do with being slightly closer to the middle, but then they'd get too close to the braces which will affect their tuning. I put them 1/2" in from what the plans said. They definately are back heavy (I have non Neo drivers in) so they should always be lifted with the back towards you.

Also if you have the plans you'll notice I built them a differently by having the 2nd baffle all as one piece, instead of the two bits down the side with the middle bits put in afterwards.

I'm sure Insomnia will do a better job and use less filler than I did. The wood I used was a bit poor too. Still, it was good experience for if I ever do it (or anything similar) again.

No looks pretty good mate certainly about on par with what I could have achieved. Could do with a better paint job but thats just aesthetics
 
Yeah I will be using neos so that should help a lot
 
Have you pole mounted them? That was the main thing I was thinking about when lifting, seems like it would be awkward with handles like that but I could be wrong.

No, I generally put more speakers where a pole would go.

Stu,

Why do you think it is that people on this site will often post plans from speaker comapines and other sources, but I've never seen a bill fitz plan anywhere.
 
Does paying for it really not make you want to share it. Thats a perfect business.
