Anyone interested in a 10 x 17 baffle with W.G.

OK, I'll commit to a pair. I'm not sure what your resources are but I would also consider getting some additional work done to my pair. I'm sure it would be easy for you to make the woofer cutout as well as the roundovers you mentioned. If you have the ability to finish them we can talk about that too. My only concern on the roundovers is that I want to use the RS225 woofer w/ a 8-3/4" outside diameter. The realestate on a 17 x 10 baffle goes pretty quick w/ an 8" waveguide and a 9" woofer. I do have the ability to truncate the woofer flange but I'm still not sure how much space that will save, my guess is approx 3/4" overall.

My pevious post realted to this project:

I happen to have a RS225 on hand. No problem cutting out for that. I'll charge a straight $100 for the baffles with W. holes. If thats cool for you, you can see pics of those baffles by tomorrow on this thread.

Make mine just with the wave guide. Looking forward to pics. Do you still need more buyers before production? just wondering, I won't be doing anything until Pete and Doubletap publish.

That waveguide seems to be the right shape, is large enough, and is mild enough to create speakers that would work in many rooms.

If you're doing this, I'd like a set of baffles with just the waveguide cut. I'll have to make a template to flush mount my old Audax aerogel woofers in there so I'll only get one shot at getting the flush mount correct.

You can add me to list also. Would love to try out a WG.

Here's a shot of a WG baffle coming off the RadarCarve.



More to come.

Nice.

Yes, very nice.

Again I'd like to say good on you guys for pursuing some waveguide options. If you continue to make these, I'm sure I'll be a customer eventually ;) Wish I coulda grabbed a pair this go around.

i thought you were doing the elliptical?

Arlis,
I believe the "elliptical" part of the design is the profile/cross section of the waveguide not the shape of the profile as if you were looking at it from the front. I believe the profile you are referring to is an oblate spheroid.

Maybe someone else can confirm and give a quick explanation of the merits of each (which I cannot).

I'm thinking a 3.1 setup with MTMs would be pretty sweet.

Sorry. I thought it was the somewhat oval. Shape that Pete liked so much.

Sorry. I thought it was the somewhat oval. Shape that Pete liked so much.

The throat and opening are round, but the cross section is elliptical. This is the response of that WG with the RS28F mounted to the back with the flange. Absolutely gorgeous with only a tiny wiggle in the response above 10KHz.

I'd love to see an elliptical version of this, but DanP was only able to make a few versions. This profile proved to be the best for the rear mounted tweeter w/flange. The others might also do very well if the flange is removed and the dome pushed into the WG. That testing hasn't taken place yet.
