Hi guys..
my second speaker build after a pair of Tritrix's.
This one with a little more of my own flavor in it. 1/2 inch mdf, Its powered by a Lepai amp, has a bluetoooth wireless connection and a pair of old school Vu meters for eye candy.
Its based around Paul Carmody's Sprite except that the center partition is open in order to achieve the aesthetics i wanted. Probably could have done it better but it was a "feel as i went along" project and this is how t ended up. This is the second version after i didn't like how the original version looked.
btw, does it matter that its not a sealed partition?
Waiting for the paint to cure before screwing on feet and a carry handle.
It was a fun build and my first time working mdf. The lack of proper tools made it more difficult than it should have, used lots and lots of sandpaper to correct for poor edges. Wood filler become my best friend.
It sounds pretty good for what its worth. It could do with an active volume contoured EQ to make it perform like some of the commercial products out there. Nothing that cant be achieved with a little good old fashioned knob twiddling for maximum effect at any given volume.
And thank you Paul for giving me a very workable head start to work with. Much appreciate the effort you put into your designs and sharing them with us.
