First a little introduction I am Yves am 15 Years old and I live in the netherlands (may be a bit late introduction 166post) I already have a pair of hd15s and I cut the wood for another 2, now I am going to build a CB-18 and a X1 and I am going to decide what to use: CB-18 or the X1 and hd15 combo.
Edit: I am not going to build an X1 anymore

Yesterday I started sawing the wood for one CB-18: wood sawed:
 sanded:
 the other 3 planels for a x1 and an another project:

just idea .. how I would place handles if doing them for myself. Two "slot" handles are by front edge o the cabinet. Version "A" may look funny but in fact rear handle is here just to help a bit while horizontally stacking cabinets. .. (yes I know that while doing this front handles will be in vertical position so not most comfortable , but we all are tough boys and will not complain for that second or two :) ) For for moving around front "slot" handles may be enough. Cabinet is not too deep (618mm) so will not make problems. For more holding flexibility option "B" may be good idea.. I would use ready made 4-ways handle like http://www.terralec.co.uk/handles/four_directional_insert_handle/16480_p.html - THIS because it will not obstruct horn area much as 18mm panel wooden box. If you plan to use wooden box + handmade cutout 4--way handle ..may be good idea to use a bit thinner wood (10mm is more than enough rigid for such small handle box) .. make them shallow (25mm for fingers is OK - 35 mm total internal protrusion) and place them in rear corners like option "B" so you can use cabinet panels as part of "handle-box" - easy (I hope that is understandable from my not so great english writing - if necesarry I can make scatch) :) ------------- Just do it! ..or do not.. ;) |

I have also thought about that ones as elegant solution:  -handles on sketch are on scale If you like it (may be not necessary but.. will be a bit easier to hold while holding horizontally) you can also move front slot handles a bit closer to front edge like on sketch and open them on front side to (like on your SketchUp 3D model) ------------- Just do it! ..or do not.. ;) |

no ofcourse not, nothing is glued yet only biscuits, will router the hole in if i have bought a speaker.

Hi, I would go with 18TBX100 .. sims smooth as PD186 and have a bit more sensitivity from 70Hz up.. also a bit less cone excursion at same power than PD186 (but just a bit) .. both are specified xmax = 9mm. +18tbx100 have higher power rating wich is always good when bass is in question. :) Void V18-1000 sims peaky in this cabinet (~45Hz and 110Hz) .. but pretty same happens with simulation of original Danley TH115 which in real world appears to be flat (rally flat as line in cluster of four) .. so V18-1000 may be excellent if planing to use in stacks (4+) ------------- Just do it! ..or do not.. ;) |

holy craftsmanship! compared to any(and theres very few) young speaker builders in my area, the woodwork on those is second to none.(better than mine to boot! hahaha) also very commendable for building 2 designs! i wasted weeks waffling between a few designs, and ended up building a long folded horn, which i ten converted to a long rear loaded horn. And to this day i still have nightmares about "what if i had gone for x1s?" as i can fit 2 x1s and change in the volume of one of my bass horns!. in fact this may have inspired me to bust out the table saw and try building an x1!
|
Posted By: djyves
Date Posted: 19 July 2010 at 9:43am
|
I don't think I am going to build the X1 anymore, because the 18tbx100 isn't good in the X1, and the V18-1000 not such as good an the tbx in the CB-18. Or will the 18tbx100 be good in the X1?

hey great build, i'm just in the middle of cutting wood for 4 of these at the moment (which'll also be V18-1000 loaded), as well as 4 tops based on a single SMT but adjusted slightly for stacking and also some flightcases. Got a pile done today, another day should get all the cutting done, another for routing and then i'll be ready to start assembling  problem has just been getting days i'm off which are also dry! Once its all cut assembly will be fairly quick can do that inside whatever the weather, and hopefully get to give them a blast at a gig a week on wednesday. will get picks up soon. k |

ps. yeah go for 1.5mm grills. Markie on here is great for grills as i'm sure you know, i got my grills couple of weeks ago from him for my CB-18's, and the tops ones earlier this week.

Before serious test give em at least few (5-6 .. preferably more) hours at moderate or high power (LF sine wave sweep tones or similar LF music material) so driver "sing in" in cabinet (especially if speakers units are factory new). Some drivers really need that (some more ...some less.. but..) to show its real potential and character (experienced that many times especially on rear loaded horns.. so same may be case with tappeds). .. always may expect more pleasant , natural sound once driver is "singed in" (+15-20 hours of work at high power) ------------- Just do it! ..or do not.. ;) |

ehh.. if you have some DSP unit do not forget HPF(lowcut) at 35-38Hz - Butterworth 18db/oct (or 24db/oct if you plan to punish em with monster amplifier) LPF(highcut) 110-140 .. use you ear to find what sounds best to you (still I have never heard them at all so this is best I can suggest now :) ) ------------- Just do it! ..or do not.. ;) |

The only thing I can say now is Impressive, still not measured but I have a few pics: Cb-18 is powered by a crest v1500 in bridge, no eq'ing, highpass 38hz 24db/oct lowpass 120hz 24db/oct. hd in the pic is not loaded and just for the height of the top.
One of the 2 V18-1000s and some objects to compare the size, magnet is almost 12''.   today small test next to a rcf sub from a friend:  The rcf goes a bit lower but the Cb-18 louder. ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |

Yves That will be nice little stack. You can expect full potential and a bit more LF extension and a bit more "warmth" and details (do not know what is your first impression) after few parties of work. Also try them without wheel board under CB-18. Such gap under box affects ground coupling and may affect LF spl. Once more big up for your cabinet building skills! ..

Second one is completely putted together, tomorrow installing driver. After I made that photo I removed the wheelboard, and it was noticable. Does anyone know If a chameleon 3750dp/2 will do 4r bridge on sub 38-121hz. It will do 3700w @4r bridge 1850w per driver, so enough headroom.

Just measured the amp at a friend no thd measured, 8r about 600w 4r about 900w. If I bridge it and turn channel 2 up it goes directly into protect, so it won't do anything in bridge does anyone know why?
------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |
Posted By: Speaker Sol
Date Posted: 13 August 2010 at 12:38pm
The amp shouldn't go into protect mode when channel 2 control is moved. Normally when an amp is bridged channel two level control should not be active. Going out a bit of a limb. Possibly the amp is not properly bridged (maybe broken switch or the like) and that is why protection is turning on?

Yea the switch is not that good anymore, but I tried already without the switch so out of phase on my dcx2496, both channels full open then It seems to work, the only thing is that one of the channels is much louder. and btw the second CB-18 is ready to load.

Either is the 64Hz peak a nasty room resonance (+ 96Hz & 128Hz harmonics), or all the sims are off by about 15Hz. The former seems to be most likely the correct case, though. After substracting the 64Hz mode (+resonances), it quite surprisingly fits with the simmed peak/fall-off @ about 48Hz (for Void V18-1000). Akabak sims with a "stepped" horn (instead of a conical one, as used in Hornresp) suggest a shifted response by about +3Hz and 1 to 1.5dB lower efficiency on average (as compared to HR sims), but that should still be within the measurement error tollerance. One thing I would really like to know is, how does it sound @ about 46-50Hz? Because the sims suggest a rather "gargantuan" group delay peak (up to 35ms) at these frequencies for the aforementioned driver (V18-1000). Try to run a 50Hz sine through it and listen wether it's not too "boomy". Thanks for the report & keep us posted. Thumbs up from me! ;-) Cheers. |

The measurement is taken in the workshop, soon I have an outside party. then I will measure them again. about the group delay peak: I will try the sinewaves. I'll keep you updated ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |

not a free party or something, just some music and lights on a party for +/- 50 persons. But the person who rents it likes big speakers, so I take both with me and will measure it there. I'ts a birthday or something. so all styles. ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |

So how many sheets of ply do you need for each cabinet? Assuming a 1.2m x 2.4m sheet?
Very interested in building some of these as I have 3 pairs of rcf 15" cones sitting doing nothing at the moment and this seems like it would make a good sub for a smallish band system or small club pa.

On the first page I posted a cutsheet, indeed 2 panels of 1.2m x 2.4m, what drivers do you have? ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |

I haven't got them with me or written down, I did write it down but I'm a bit messy!
As far as I remember it was L15 P or S 800, L15 542K or 554K or something and Oh I can't remember the other one!
Some of them need reconing but I got them pretty cheap with that in mind, I mean they are like £150 each so £50/60 a recone odd is still gonna be a fair bargain.

CB-18 is made for an 18'' driver but you could sim your 15'' drivers. Hornresp input parameters: S1= 800 L1(L12)= Con 21 S2= 756 L2(L23)=Con 189 S3= 2050 L3(L34)=Con 19 S4= 3670 ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |

Here is a picture of the two and as you see its a bad place to measure your speakers: and when I had nothing to do, I build an mth-30 in less than one hour, to test some different 12'' drivers. picture:  ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |

wooowow .. first impressions of two CB-18s working together (most likely still not fully "singed-in" .. but ..however :) ) ???? ------------- Just do it! ..or do not.. ;) |

First impression was (wow!!) very loud, and sounds very good, one bose 802 with 220w is not enough (think I got to use my s1200) didn't pushed them hard for a long time, neighbours... But after the party on 4 september I will post more info on how it sounds. Still need to order handles and paint.

One sounds good, but if you use 2 you'll go slightly lower and louder ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |

..just BTW (not directly related to CB-18 but..) I have thought and rough sketched dedicated top cabinet for CB-18 with closely similar sized cabinet (only depth of cabinet will be reduced) Thought about it to form relatively compact but slick looking, good sounding and powerfull ground stack system (maybe 3 CB-18 + two dedicated tops on them all stacked horizontally)  If idea ever become live in form of usable plans I will inform interested test DIY builders. ------------- Just do it! ..or do not.. ;) |

To add, the energy out of this cab with a Fane 1000 was brilliant.
Single driver solution for dance, proper hard build to a non chippy, but I managed it.
The attack from bass to kick was amazing. ------------- It just is. |

Putting two together side by side, how low does it goes? ------------- Bass matters... |

When I measured them, i set my highpass at 38hz, but then I tried to go lower, you'll reach about 35 hz, will measure again, outside. and then see how low it goes. ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |
