The Mission Possible DIY is in the process of expanding to provide better organization of the topics. Thanks goes to JonMarsh for proposing the sub-forums and helping to move the topics. If you have any questions let us know.
Hi all, I'm probably jumping the gun sharing this project now, as it's a long-term work-in-progress, but I anticipate finishing this summer and couldn't wait to post.
BLUF: I'm building a pair of curved Nat P's. Actually, more like complex-curved, as the top/back is curved and intersects...
Natalie P First Build - A more conventional approach
Thanks to everyone who gave input into my curved Natalie P design. Alas, priorities have shifted (as they are wont to do) and now time has become the main driver. I'm not going to have the time available to put into these that it was going to take to make the translam design. I've also decided to drop...
I've been lurking for awhile and am finally getting close to starting my first build. I've decided to attempt the Natalie Ps (link here), but plan to make a curved cabinet for aesthetics. I'm quite confident in the woodworking aspect, but since this will be my first build, I want...
Ply is in and it starts. Quick question on port. I'm going to do slot but need to double check if I have to add volume to the cab to compensate for the slot port or if I can stick with the original 1cu/ft design.
Calculated port to equal out the 2" x 9" round port suggested...
Surprisingly, several people have contacted me about the possibility of an update to the NatalieP, more than just a tweeter tweak- and the possibility of a more compact shelf friendly version.
Recent driver evaluations have opened the feasibility of discussion and development on this topic,...
Tuning the Natalie P's (RS180-RS28) after building them
This is a re-post from a PE TechTalk forum post. The guys there suggested I post here (duh!)
"I built Jon Marsh's Natalie P's (RS180-RS28 MTMs in a 9x22" baffle sealed cab) a few years ago after looking for a good mid-price project. I've been really pleased with them. I like...
With my most sincere thanks to The Maestro (Jon Marsh) I now have the blueprint to, as The Maestro so eloquently put it, 'Dude UP' my Natalie Portmans.
Why this man, with so, so much on his plate would give up the time, effort & genius to help us out is simply beyond my comprehension....
I've finally convinced the wifey that we need new speakers up front. I currently am using an Onkyo HTIB. Two years ago I replaced the subwoofer with a DIY subwoofer (12" TC Sounds that I'm pretty proud of). Now it is time to replace the left right and center channel.
Ok, so I finally got my measurement up and here's my inroom FR for the NatP w/ 1/6smoothing.
I forgot to mentioned that this is measured with the rs28f vs the original design which called for a rs28a. The rs28f does have a rising response on the top end.
I have a $500 budget for a speaker project (L/R speakers) and have spent way too much time researching DIY speakers but in the end, the Nat P's seem to dominate the DIY world for this budget.
Hi all,
I have finally ordered parts to make the Nat P's (floor standing versions ala "Yet another Nat P thread"). This coincides with setting up my own workshop so it will be one of my first projects that will include veneering as part of the finishing.
So, below is my planned...
Well, I ordered most of the parts in December of 2007....how sad is that? I built a pair of Dayton III's and was very impressed, especially given my complete noobness. I am finally going to get started soon (maybe even tonight). Even with all the builds and information, I still have some questions....
Well, I have been working on this build for about two months now. It has been a series of firsts for me since I have only previously built a 20" cube sealed subwoofer. First time using a radial arm saw, first time using a router, etc. So far it has been a lot of fun with only a few mishaps (MDF...
