I am thinking of building a 15" tempest with dual PRs. The construction would be 3/4 MDF single layer with hardwood 1 x 1 stock glued at all seams and using either 2 x 2s across vert and horizontally as braces inside the cabinet as needed. (maybe 12 total)AKA Lexman on the Bracing thread Or using 2 MDF or plywood braces to opposing sides with the PRs and pieces in between facing towards the front mounted woofer, aka the Shiva white pages cabinet bracing.
First, any comments on the bracing. I know more is better but I am trying to keep the box as small as possible while still keeping it fairly rigid.
Second, I was thinking of a box around 24 x 24 x 24 for about 5.75 cu ft. after bracing and driver deductions. The box could be made smaller (gladly!!) but I wanted some opinions on the tuning point, and if this sounds viable.
A sonosub is out of the question, due to the SAF. I figure that if I build this thing, I can tell her it was a compromise and she has to accept it. I hope! LOL
Any help on modeling PRs would be greatly appreciated, As Winid doesn't use them and LSPCad (which I haven't really figued out as I have been using english measurements and the metric screws me up) doesn't either.
Thanks from the Reigning DVD Lotto Champion!!...LOL..
