Hi,
After having some trouble sourcing a 24" piece of sonotube I have decided to build a copy of the AS-15. So the questions begin. First I couldn't find what the AS-15 is tuned to. I would like to tune mine to about 16Hz. It seems that it would be difficult to fit a 6" port long enough to tune it to this frequency.
Also, what does the AS-15 shown on the KLONE website weigh? I would like to keep my weight down. So I was thinking of using only three braces instead of four and instead of going with two layers of MDF going with one layer and a second layer of 1/2" OSD. Similiarly on the front and back going with 2 layers of 3/4" MFD and one layer of the OSD.
On the port. I only found one place that carries the 6" flares called Thriller Audio. What is people experience with them in terms of shipping time, etc.
Does regular 6" PVC fit these flares or do I need to buy their tubes and connectors also? Do I really need the flares? They are pretty expensive for some cheap plastic.
Finally, I am worried about clamps. Right now I do not own any. I probably won't build to many more speakers, so I would like to avoid a big investment here. What is the minimum I could get away with? How many and what size/type clamps should I buy?
Thanks!
