Re: Deewan's various speaker builds

Absolutely spectacular speakers! And here I thought the Stentorian set I just built were beautiful. You've given me something to shoot for in my next speaker build. Time to put the Stents on craigslist to fund something like these :p

Re: Deewan's various speaker builds

Thank you. I have really been enjoying these speakers so far this fall. I want to finish the sub cabinets and get everything finished so I can focus on catching up on all my movies I would like to watch.

Phenomenal work D. These look amazing. The matte finish really has my attention.... So tempting.....

Re: Deewan's various speaker builds

A new additional to my setup. I decided I needed to dress up the sub enclosure a bit and add some storage. And it works great as a center speaker stand.

Re: Deewan's various speaker builds

Always so sexy......I should finish mine..some time.....this year....or maybe next.

Stand looks great, and is a fantastic idea. What are you keeping in there?

Are the subs structurally part of the cabinet? So it is all one thing, or does the"cabinet" come off the subs?

Re: Deewan's various speaker builds

I had unfinished, plain mdf boxes in that room for a year before I got around to a finished product so no hurry joey!!!

I built two sealed 3/4 inch mdf enclosures for the subs with bracing. Then I built the 3/4 inch plywood and solid oak stand and slid the sub cabinets into place. So most sides of the sub enclosure is 1.25 inches thick.

In the drawers I am keeping my remotes for my gaming systems, my Harmony remote, ARC mic, SPL meter, and a few other odds and ends that I like to have in the room but that I don't use much. Through an access panel on the back, I ran power to each of the drawers to charge the remotes.

Re: Deewan's various speaker builds

Was any isolation needed for the center channel resting on the subs? I would think a sub would vibrate to much, but maybe you have the cabinets thick enough...

Great question and something I did consider. The sub enclosure is very heavy, well braced, and has double thick 3/4 inch walls. So it doesn't vibrate much. However, I wanted did want to take added steps. Not sure if it can be seen in any of the photos, but the speaker feet on the center channel have rubber tips. I think this help isolate the CC from any vibrate that may make it's way to the top of the sub cabinet and it helps provide some extra tacky traction to make sure the CC cabinet doesn't walk it's way around when big bass notes hit. So far the CC is still exactly where I placed it last year.

I wish you were closer... I would love to hear the setup in person.
