EDIT: As conditions around the build changed and a back injury. The goal of the build changed to a slightly modified normal Statement II build as my back problems prohibited me from doing the work required for the first intended build.
Changed made to the statements are the following: Slighty narrower (6%), driver array moved up in the tower to get tweeter to ear level, hidden bottom compartement holding crossovers for easy access, mid tunnels slightly narrower (6%) to accomodate extra airflow from the narrower cabinet, front baffle is semi-sunk into the speakerbox for extra rigidity, front sides chamfered due to WAF-interference, carbon fiber inlays on the front, speakon plugs and smaller internal volume due to the new RS225's. Build at 80% completion and are awaiting warmer wheather to be able to work on them in the non heated workshop.
Hi! I've long looked at the statements with dreamy eyes and recently bought a house that has enough room to make them feasable! Wife said Ok strangely enough, but they had to look awesome.
So I recently ordered everything needed for the Statement IIs and it arrived earlier this week together with yet another Dayton RSS390HO that is going into a second sub.
I've sketched a bit on my new speakers and I think I've decided on a crossover between the remix and the originals.
Here is a preliminary drawing, I'm going to keep baffle width in between the remix and original and also keep the depth, they will be slighty shorter and use a back firing port though.
Construction will be done in 19mm MDF and sides will be 4mm Plywood sandwiched. Considering doing walnut veneer and black baffles.
Construction will begin as soon as I get some spare time after we move in next week. I might cheat a bit and start early though...
Is everything looking ok? Any nifty ideas to spice things up?
