Hi there,
As for some time I have now been a customer (from New Zealand) with PartsExpress and so I wanted to contribute with some of my own DIY handy work once I found this forum section and its invitation to do just that! Well, I’m sure that my design ideas will not please everybody and most likely raise eyebrows as well, but never the less I like very much think out of the square and with that look at thinks in different ways to improve and beautify if possible. So here are my latest DIY build ups from ideas I worked on intensely about 12 years ago.
OK, here is my first design I always wanted to build except that it got a little bit more involved because when I was preparing to cut my slices I realized in one cut actually three (3) other were included. So this is a build up of a speaker enclosure in four (4) sizes 1, 2, 3, & 4 like bookshelf, automotive car, automotive van, and well yes no.1 I leave to you own imagination, but I mite say it myself HiFi & Automotive maybe.
(I’m sure if anybody has read that far down that surely will stir the pot!)
Before I go into the details a little bit more I like to mention that at this stage I build the size 2 & 3 and I’m heavily into building size 1 presently. The overall sound quality on both finished enclosures types (no. 3 sealed with a 300 Watt 6x9 Infinity speaker 46 Hz to 23th Hz – and no. 2 with a 6x9 Lanzar 1200 Watt 60 Hz to 21th Hz with a 10” Passive Radiator) with everything right from the start of the running in period was very promising, and after one (1) week wave generator & two (2) weeks music program it is quiet breathtaking to listening to either type, but out of different reason.
As you maybe will have noticed this design is of course build with I.S.C.T. - 'Innovative Slice Construction Technique', and it is ONE design shape yet 'AS IS' and can be used in 3 different application! Like Imaging / Reference & Subs.
Let’s start with no. 1: Sub with single or dual PR's from 8" to 12". Speaker chassis can be also 8", 10" & 12" as this building technique offers volume adjustment! WORK IN PROGRESS! and definately a Hi-Fi item as the weight alone (around 40+ Kg) would make it diffucult to use in an automotive application. About the internal volume I would at this stage say that it lies between 30 & 60 Litre / 1.05 to 2.1 cubic foot.
Next up no. 2: I assume best suited for ... well, very wrong! as I have used these now in a Hi-Fi & automotive set up, and I'm smitten with its performance! yet of course need some more measurements for really judging, but they sound graet if not better then the system I sample with. Usefull for 6x9, 6.5" & 8" with PR(s) - (presently AS IS shown in my Images they are running around 40 Hz). I always claimed myself that 6x9 speaker chassis were underestimated and are I mean if you find a good one can be used in many different settings!
Next up no. 3: Great performing set up especially with these Ifinity which are very good speaker chassis (factory specs 46 Hz).
