Ive been working on these for almost a year? Two or three days a month for what seems as long as I can remember now..... :g>
I think I eluded to this project elswhere here. A GrahamT Extreme mt in some Jonmarsh Avalon klones with a semi constrained layer wrapped in a Sonus Faber and sandwiched in a Revel. Grahamarshavalonfaberevels?
I'm taking Jons baffels and attaching them to an enclosure made of 1/2 inch Birch ply. There are 5 full shelf braces, the walls are stuck with dynamatish adhesive backed pads and covered with a half inch layer of fiberglass under batting stapled in. Stuffed in that is a 3 by 26 inch Precision flared port. This enclosure is then slid into a shell of 1.5 inch MDF lined with two layers of 30lb roofing felt. The baffel will seal to the outer shell with neoprene strip.
and
for
From there the top half of the baffel will get covered with black leather, the bottom half and the shell will be painted with Duplicolor truck bed coating.
Next I'm going to bolt panels to the sides to allow grillcovers ala Revel

and the grill drawn in

At first the sides will probably just be Oak plywood with some cherry stain. I want to do them out of some nice polished marble slab but the budjet is getting harder and harder to get past the wife ;x( :brunette:
Some kind of footing system like the Kharma Exquisite Reference is also in the works. :T
These things are stupid heavy. I cant lift them. I dont have a scale, and I am kind of wimpy so.... ops:
I can play the woofers full range pretty loud with my ear on the sides and back and not feel or hear anything coming through. I think that was what I had hoped for, did I mention that I cant lift them?
Sorry about the lo Q cell phone pictures. I had a bunch of good photos that got stolen at the same time as my camera got stolen a while back..... :M
I just got this phone so I had to share.
I'll start the measurement process after the bulk of the finishing work is done and post my progress as i go.
Thanks to Jon for being more nuts than me. :B
