4344 Production Plans

[Tom Loizeaux]

[QUOTE=ayaboh;135511]Ok, as promised, here are the production plans for the stock (or close to stock) 4344.

Thanks for this great thread and post!
You've framed up my fantasy. I don't plan to get K2 9800s or the new Everests any time soon, but building a pair of these "upgraded" 4344s is a real temptation.
I'm going to wait to see how the crossovers work out and if anyone makes these available on this forum, then the project would seem doable.

I love my 4343s, but I suspect these 4344s would make me even more content.

Thanks again for your contribution.

I'm going to wait to see how the crossovers work out and if anyone makes these available on this forum, then the project would seem doable.

I am going to make one run of them for forum members. So far I have five pairs to do. I should have them finalized in a couple weeks. The 4355's have been far more popular and have taken up most of my time.

I have added MDF and veneer layout, and a preliminary part list to the pdf file http://designcut.com/4344org/4344.pdf. I have also added dxf files for the MDF layout http://designcut.com/4344org/Layout%2019mm%20MDF.dxf and http://designcut.com/4344org/Layout%2025mm%20MDF-1.dxf.

The dxf files can be used directly by a workshop with CNC cutting equipment (like high pressure water-jet systems), so it's no need to do full scale markings for the details on the MDF plates. The dxf files are enough.

The veneer layout is on a Lignaflex standard dimension sheet.

The drawings are now in rev 1.2, and I will send the MDF plates to the work shop for cutting within a couple of weeks. The grill frames are changed to all MDF to make it simpler to assemble, and the 2420s are changed to 2425s. Most of the detail drawings have been revised to make them easier to follow. The new drawings and DXF files can be downloaded here http://designcut.com/4344org/4344-1.2.pdf and here http://designcut.com/4344org/Material%20Layout.zip.

I have received grill cloth from Zilch, and I'm working on a system to attach the fabric to the frames with a rubber or plastic cord/spline instead of using an adhesive.

Now, - if I could talk Giskard into making me a couple of networks ......

Nope - the link worked fine for me when he posted it, and worked fine for me today. I just clicked them and they are fine.


Here is the final version of the 4344 drawings

dxf files for material layout

and ai files for the foilcals

But somehow, your link is wrong -
look at the links I posted above, there is no link ending in "4344.pdf"

Ah - I see the problem, you clicked one of his early emails when he posted initial design notes ..

Rather, check the 3 links I posted above for his final informed data.
I'm guessing he removed the preliminary files when he had the complete data posted here ...

I removed the old files from the server to avoid the mess of having several versions of the documentation hanging around. Is it possible to edit the first post and update the links?

Thanks Hjames, i can read the files

Stunning WORK!!!

[HipoFutura]

This is the sort of project I've been looking for. Instead of building a pair of subs, I'll use the 2235Hs in these. Why is the 16 ohm 2425J used insead of it's 8 ohm sibling? Don

[SMKSoundPro]

I am printing out the plans, now.

I have all of the parts here. May need help when it comes to the xover.

I was going to build the 4345, since I already have a pair of 2245's sitting here with nothing to do. Wait, I'll put them in their own double 18 cabinet like the ones I built for work, and use that as my center sub.
...A pair of these for FOH L/R, and 2-2245's for sub.


Yes. That should do, nicely.

Thank you for your OUTSTANDING work on these plans!!!

Scott.
