Hello Dom, What about a quick sketch ? Sorry i'm being thick i can't figure it out from the figures you gave. From the plot it looks like a good job, and i really like the idea of improved portability ! |

That sounds cool, I can work it out from that. I'm thinking of having them on their sides at the bottom of the stack, and that shape is a lot simpler to work with.

I haven't actually got a plan.... Anything I did have would of been drawn on a fag packet... Outside dimensions are 1138mm x 508mm x 690mm. Ports are 472mm x 141mm and the same length as the original plans. Baffle is ever so slightly off from 45 degrees - It was going to be exactly 45 degrees to make the mitre cut straight forward, but I moved it ever so slightly in order to make the rear panel of the front chamber about 1cm shorter in order to cut the wood more efficiently. In fact - if memory serves me correctly - The end pieces are 690mm x 472mm. If that's cut down from a 1220mm x 472mm piece (as all the internals were), it will leave a piece approx 530mm x 472mm. That piece is the back panel of the front chamber, the baffle is cut so it joins the end of the front port to the end of that panel. Everything else in the box after that is just external panels or bracing... Sorry I'm not more help but exploded diagrams and CAD plans like the punisher are beyond me... |

Hi there, Is there any way I could get the plans for the modified X1? Not sure what I am going to build yet, but I've been thinking about the X1's and I'm interested in the modified design.

The design is just a "letterbox" version of th e X1.

Ahh thats great dom i had had the same thoughts on the shape of the X1 being a bit hard to handle. Have you made the design look more like the 184/C sub then or is the driver still at an angle like the original? Stu |

All you need to know is:

The modification was to redesign it, keeping the ports the same and the interior volumes the same, but in a box 508mm x 1138mm x690mm, which means it has the same frontal dimensions as our double kickbins for versatability in stacking, but also means that its easier to move round - its much easier to move a long thin box by yourself than a square one - I can get a superscooper in and out of a van my myself, there's no way of doing that with an X1.... In theory it "should" have the same response - in reality it seems to have fractionally more low end response and a flatter curve. I have no idea why though. Will be doing a plot with an SD-18 in a week or two... Testing was done with Smaart, an ECM-8000 and a UB802 mixer for the preamp - basic budget stuff. |

The problem will not be present in the frequency domain as much as the
time-domain, so one should look at a LF waterfall and see whether there
is any droning close to crossover. One could then go and place a
helmholz absorber in the port at this exact frequency and in a position
where this resonance would have a pressure maximum to alleviate these
problems somewhat.
