Hi Guido

Congratulations on your DIY 2-way system! And merry Christmas!

While I haven't had the opportunity to listen to the 2435H, I'm enjoying the bass of the ME150H in my four S3100 every day.

I hope to present another DIY 2-way system soon. Rs237 knows what I mean ...

(Ich hoffe, bald ein anderes 2-Wege-System präsentieren zu können. Rs237 weiß, was ich meine ...)

Hi Ian,

Merry Christmas down there in the sun and sand. Xmas lunch on the beach Thats just plain sick

I should really start a thread for the whole build ,but in brief; I laminated 2X 9mm flexy MDF and 4mm birch on the inside. I used epoxy / cotton fibre adhesive. The cotton fibre absorbs some of the resin and prevents the wood from sucking all the epoxy into the surface of the timber- this can cause delamination and voids. A fine glassfibre layer would do the same thing, but making sure the curf of the flexy was filled was my main concern.

This is the same adhesive technology they use for building the F1 Maclaren ,aircraft and the huge racing boats that mad people put there trust in when they get down to the southern ocean It aint cheap gear !

I used the same resin for the diffraction lips above and below the woof ( i have another name for them,but I dont want Heather and Magnet 3 chasing me with a shotgun) Anyway , I added ground slate to the resin , but you can add just about anything to this stuff. SONOGLAS is pretty much the same thing.

The curved front section is laminated 25 mm MDF.

The baffle is 38 mm ,the sides are 24 mm ,back 18 mm , top and bottom 2x 15 mm laminated , base section is 2 x 25 mm laminated.

Guido and Rich,

what a beautiful work - congratulations!



Besides all the millimeters what about its height -
it is quite a bit, isn't it?

Please post questions

Rich


PS
Its important to note that too much catalyst ,although it speeds up the curing time ,makes the resin brittle stick to the recommended ratio unless your Widget I have see his resin work

Very nice and sweet, you suck! Now which way did you say Santa was heading? Like the screw fixings on the back. Why is the loudspeaker cable going though the bottom port duct?

[Ian Mackenzie]

Bloody Box Builder.

I wasn't asking how good you are.
But by god your freakin good..mate!.

I think we should commission you to make the E3.

Its one thing to make a box that looks good but also sounds good.

Dont worry about the sand..the saw dust gets in worse places

What’s this then, a wine rack system, for getting pissed up this season? Got to hand it to you Rich, you’re darn good at building some clone JBL loudspeakers.

[Ian Mackenzie]

Rich,

Seriously your work is an inspiration.....
