The speakers will go behind an AT screen so likely they will just be painted black. I am using two silver flute 8" and a dayton audio polyimide compression driver with a diysoundgroup 6" conical waveguide in a ported vertical MTM configuration. Here is the start of the enclosure build.

Made some progress on the columns that contain the speakers.

More progress.

Getting closer.

Great stuff!

 

[lemonslush]

Looks great so far.

 

[Genelec Man]

Very nice. I hope to do something similar soon.

Looks great! What are the dimensions of the speakers?

 

[outvoted]

The enclosures are 48" x 11" x 7" with a net volume of 1.5cf.

when you're all done please post the pics in the WAF thread because these are looking like champs in that regard!

Nice work! Started the crossovers yet?

Just modeling and tinkering so far. A friend of mine and I are going to get some more accurate measurements (especially for the compression driver/waveguide) then I will get more serious about the xovers.

making progress on the grills.

time for some grill cloth.

Looks great!

I still have to make the grills for the lower section of the columns. I will try to get some better pics once the lower grills are in place. Then I will have to wait a few paychecks to start the cabinet work for the subwoofers that will be below the screen. I'm on a tight budget and have to work on this as funds allow.

So I thought I would throw this out there and possibly entertain a different sub idea. Do you guys have any suggestions for horn loaded sub ideas? Considering putting maybe 3 subs in the attic with the horn mouth opening through the ceiling directly above the screen. Looking at maybe using fairly inexpensive dayton subs.......dvc385-88 possibly. I don't have alot of power (around 100-125wpc, or 200-250 total per dvc sub. I do have up to 9 channels available though) which is why I am looking at the horn idea with dvc subs. Thanks in advance for any ideas?

F20 would work or the THT. You don't need a lot of power with horn subs and they play loud but not low. Have you entertained the idea of an IB sub? They play loud and low, and it would be an easier build.

 

[corradizo]

The ib would be super simple, just a square manifold for 4 or do two rectangular manifolds each with two subs. You could do that with si ht18s.

I'm not opposed to ib at all. I just don't have much budget for subs and I don't have much power per channel so I am thinking more coils and more cone area to compensate. Either 4 dvc subs in order to use 8 channels of amp or 4-8 single voice coil subs.
