Re: TriTrix LCR in Red Oak

All 5 of my TriTrix are 10 liter sealed so I use a sub passed at 80. I am very pleased with the sound from top to bottom. I also have a new sub in the planning stages that should make it even better. Thanks.

Re: TriTrix LCR in Red Oak

Very nice job Mark. I'm currently working on a set of TriTrix, TLs, and vented, for a HT system. We corresponded yesterday in a different thread regarding a sub-woofer for my system. I'm making eight, and two of the vented speakers will be ceiling mounted and adjustable in pan and tilt, as your's are. I had planned on making the brackets out of 1" square steel tubing -- mostly because I didn't want to risk strength issues. I see your brackets are oak and it looks like they're up to the task. Any issues? Oak would be simpler that welding up something that looks nice, so I'm interested in following your design approach.

Also, I'm interested in what you did where they attach to the ceiling. I'd planned on something more complex, but then I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be at times.

By the way, I loved your comment about Architects.

Nothing fancy with my ceiling support. 1x2 oak with pocket screws in the 2 corners. 8x32 screws into huricane nuts on the two speaker ends. It is mounted to the ceiling with a 2 1/2" or 3" black wood screw thru the 1x2 oak, 3/8" small oak spacer (glued to 1x2), thru 1/2" gyp. bd. and into 2x joist. I put a finish washer on the screw to keep the screw head from pulling thru the 1x2 oak.
Good luck with your builds and don't forget the pics.
