Couple more pics, didn't show the actual mold making process as there's plenty on the net, wish I had pics of the actually prototype making process that the mold was formed from though, but I hope to improve that process with the CNC. In these pics the white enclosure is actually an experimental substance I'm going to be testing to see if I can improve performance and lower cost, though It takes 3-4 months for it to totally cure, were the resin takes minutes, but I've got a couple other products/combinations ...

OK, so my small mistake project will actually turn out to be a pretty cool product.

pic1 = mold doing what it does... molding
pic 2 = mold apart
pic 3 = plug for cavity of enclosure
pic 4 = now you see where that cavity plug went
pic 5= enclosure out of mold


I'll post a couple more pic but the limit is 5 for this post

It was fun, a lot of walking and started getting a blister on my foot, I spent the first two days in the convention center than the next two at the Venetian, I didn't get to 'T.H.E show' at all.
There were a few speakers that I really wanted to see/hear but didn't get to them... will have to do better planing next time.
The one thing I'm really pumped about it that it confirms my belief that my speakers will be able to compete at the price points I'm thinking about!

So I've decided to make my mistake (http://techtalk.parts-express.com/blog.php?b=120) into a real product, a 5.0 system not a 5.1 as I won't be making a sub and letting people chose their own. Will also incorporate it into a two enclosure system with the the woofer in a separate enclosure (MDF) under the "resin pod" Still deciding on the woofer section, looking at a 5.5-6" driver.

P.S. Can't wait for C.E.S.

Here I installed a couple drivers in my first test enclosure

1st was the Aura NS3:


NS3 No BSC
I've had the ns3 for a few years, first I had it running full-range and thought they sounded harsh on the top-end as you can see why. Even with bsc that peak still would have bothered me so...


2nd the Fountek FR89EX


With BSC
as you can see much better top-end, much ...
