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



More to come.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Questions for those interested. I have a 1" round-over. I could put that around the 10x17 baffles. I also have a 3/8ths round-over. Also, I'll sand down the baffles to 220 grit. Sound good? I'd like to get 4 guys to order before I pick up sheets of 1" plum creek MDF. Give me some feed-back, guys.

Glad to see someone doing something with the 8948A.

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

Should make for a very nice project. I look forward to seeing the results. I've been interested in the Usher woofers for a long time now.

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

Thanks for the reply. Looks like I'll have to push myself beyond my usual half a$$ed build. I look forward to seeing what you and Pete come up with.

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

I'll commit to a pair. A pic would be nice. Pete, you're talking about a design with an Usher woofer and RS28 tweeter?

I'll be doing the build along with Pete, we'll do initial crossover modeling together then I'll work my magic on crossover voicing. Whatever we come up with, it won't be some simulated only result ... like everything we do the simulation is only the first step of the network, the final result will come from a couple weeks of listening and making tweaks along the way.

I think the Usher 8948A is for sure, I have 4 of them here and it's a fantastic woofer. IMO it's the best sounding of all the Usher 7"ers, and every bit the equal of a Scan 18W Revelator.

Tweeter is a bit unsure at this point. We already have experience with the RS28F in this waveguide from the Aurora/MiniByzi build, and they work extremely well together. However, I personally want to try something else in that waveguide as a point of comparison. But if we try something else and it falls short of what the RS28F is giving us, we won't end up using it. I'm looking for equal (or better) but different, but staying under $100 per tweeter. One thing I'm considering is having some thin 1/16" or so phenolic rings CNC's to replace the faceplate on whatever tweeter we use. That would allow for a flush mounting instead of having to deal with a concave factory face plate, and would also push the dome slighty into the throat of the waveguide. I'm thinking the HDS would be an excellent candidate.

If the end price puts it out of some peoples budget, I am sorry for that. However I have a very high standard, and think that this could be something that (Vapor Audio offerings excluded ) rivals any monitor out there under $5000 or so.

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

I'm going to refrain from buying any right now, as I need to finish a couple projects before I take on another.

These do seem awesome though and I hope you guys continue to make them and develope them further, as eventually I'd like a pair, or 3.
