Special thanks to Jed for all of the time that he has put into helping me make this project possible. This is his Dynamic II MK2 CC, in Baltic birch laminate. I am also building the mains this way.
Still in its infancy, I have little more than a design and first run of parts cut.
Basically, this design uses 3 shapes to construct the whole enclosure. (keeps cost down, and the shapes are friendly) Where these differ from the Magico Mini, is in the bracing. I used 1.5" wall thickness, but instead of the "double Y" bracing, I used smooth arcs to brace and stiffen. Also, the Magicos have a through bolted design, where the front and rear baffle are torqued to pre-load the whole structure. This is complete overkill. I have opted to not use a rear baffle.
The whole stack, unassembled:
The 3 shapes that go into the design:
How I will assemble them:
To assemble the pieces, I use Carr Lane L-pins. They are 1/4" diameter, and 6" long. I don't try to assemble too many pieces at once. Also, the holes were specially toleranced to ensure that they go together perfectly. (and so far, they do)
More pics and background to follow, including my CAD screen shots...
