Stuck at home? Make a speaker or something for goodness sake!

Building the kit isn’t the issue. Motivation is. 15 minutes of working my hands and they curl up. I can do that 3 times a day and then I’m stuck wrapping one hand around a tennis ball and sipping pickle juice to stop the cramps. LOL

Retirement is turning out to be a sentence after the fact... Man oh Man!

I really wish I could find a buddy that his/her hands and body were in good shape and wanted to do some speaker crafting before my brain quits working, too. I even have an analog duplicating machine for making guitars, cuts the perfect baffle plates for a perfect speaker. It’s all analog no CnC all cut and fit, not cut and glue. Cut, Fit, prep, glue and screw, unless I’m inserting hardwood corners to match veneers.

My dream is to build a series of narrow baffle planar monitors around neo 10 planars with a single ribbon tweeter in the middle of the 10s on the front pole. Then on the back pole (back of the 12-20" deep) cabinet a single rear facing midrange neo 8 and a single ribbon tweeter.

1, 2, 4, 6, driver with tweeter driver add one, The only non MTM design is a the single. Two stand mount, two floorstanders.

Kind of a grandfather clock design. Larger tapered base. Nothing inside but expanding foam and a chamber for the planars..

Good from 100-125 - 40khz of course separate BASS columns.. You know me...

Helper wanted, Zero to Low pay, mean, cantankerous boss, short unpredictable hours, no benefits or retirement, supply your own band aids, bring your own weed. I will provide a good lunch and if I like you I’ll share. NO Speedsters, No exceptions. :-)

Yeah I know, it's something I say twice a year at least, but I say it because I think our community is made better with more builders than with just buyers.

Hey I just finished mine.

I'd say it was a success.

Forgot to hook up one speaker's  W18  cabinet.
Still you get a  good idea how this speaker sounds.

This morning I figured out that DApolliyo and Seas Transmission line bass horn idea, was not sucha  good idea after all.
So I blocked off the bottom chamber going to the rear port, and cut a  new port in the front and 
Now we have front firing bass.
SUCCESS!!!
I'd say my front firing port is superior to DApollito and Seas's concept of rear horn port.
Dapollito and Seas figured
**gee with dual woofers and only 1 tweet, we need a  balance, lets port rear, and reflect off back wall, for a  more numanced bass respnse soas not to over whelm the single Millennium**
= wrong.
The issue is the Millennium has a  low db sens at 87 and the W18's also suffer from a  low db sens at 87.
I installeda  far superior tweet witha  Kasun 3.5 double magnet paper cone tweet at 91db and added the DL 6.5 for added boost to the 100hz-say 12khz.
SUCCESS.
Bass from the front baffel now balances out the voicing from the DavidLouis 91 wide band and Kasu 91db tweet.

Again , 1 speaker's W18's are not connected.
I'll have to make another video later

I think my speaker is~~ The~~~ Speaker to beat.

DavidLouis part 2, 
Both w18's are now Up N running, In my exceitment to try out the front firing baffel, I forgot earlier to hook up one cahnnel's w18's. 
All 4 now firing away

The vid abruptly ends as the Sony cam has tiny card memory.

The components are out there to make beautiful pure high fidelity music.
It only takes
~~~The Creative Mind~~
To seek out these possibilities and make it happen
As in my newest latest design.
You too can own a  world class SHF speaker.
Sure folks said
**ohh you can't do that**, well I broke all the rules and pay off was high fidelity.

mozartfan,
What tools do you use to design proper crossovers for these projects?
