my plan was to put these brilliant babies in birch enclosure- and i've already found the material for extremely cheap here in china- 5'x8' .75" sheet of birch ply for 135 yuan- roughly $19. and was to commission the build tomorrow at a furniture factory. however after hooking up the drivers bare, and having built the statements as my last project, i didn't think i could say this again but... i am blown away by this rbr kit's clarity and especially scanspeak's bass- my words wouldn't add much to whats already an universally epic praise. but i do say that even a deaf man would be impressed by how the driver MOVES. i mean it acts like an overdriven dual coil subwoofer! and the smoothness that i thought the ribbon tweeter had forever spoiled... thank you, madisound. i will build a granite enclosure to honor this amazing deal. so i changed my mind earlier and now am looking for you guys' expertise. no doubt i'll find granites just as cheap as birch. i'm assuming/hoping that i wont need any cabinet bracings. how thin could the granite be? chamfering really necessary in case i can't? would it help to have the inner surface be rough? would it be worth it to flush mount? im thinking since it would be pretty hard to make that happen on the granite surface, i could surface mount the woofer, raise mount the tweeter with a thin ring to level with the woofer's flange and then put a layer of wood on top of the granite baffle to flush out the drivers... if i can't flush mount them. i think if they're able to chamfer woofer hole they'll probably be able to flush mount. they paint with the asphalt for damping here-http://diyaudioprojects.com/Speakers/Seas-Granite-Speakers/
would the damping materials that come with rbr build kit be ok? i saw some high density rubber sheets at the wood shop today.
yes these will be pics
