As per previous "New Project Critique" thread, I am starting a new thread to document my build progress over the next few months. Please dont expect things to happen quickly as this is a lengthy, somewhat complex build that I expect with take the best part of 6+ months before it resembles an actual speaker.
For those that aren't up to date on this, it is an Avalon Isis style cabinet as shown below, utilizing dual Aurasound NS12-513-4A + Accuton C173-6-90 + Scan Speak D3004/664000... Partially complete Solidworks Model Below...
The Model is still missing the completed Mid/Top Cabinet, but this should be completed in the coming week... will update once completed.
Progress as of today on the build schedule is the ordering of the front Baffle Material. I am using a five layer sandwich Front Baffle of MDF + Hardwood Ply + MDF + Teak/Birch Ply + MDF. Total Thickness is just over 100mm. The 5 layers are being glued together with Phenol Formaldehyde Glue and then pressed until cured. This should give me a relatively strong and durable Baffle to then have machined. The press s a slightly modified full panel veneer press at at a local factory. The panels shoud be completed but the start of Februay, so watch this space for the un-machined sandwich Baffles...
All internal panel machining files should be finished in the next week and will then go to my machinist. Hopefully these are processed quickly and easily...
