Jesal Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Thanks that reminds me... I have to paint my Skram too, or it will stay unpainted for years like my Skhorn lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSC Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 So good to see yous building already!! Liking your tweaks for easier construction without CNC, Jesal! Did you use 18mm ply for the vent dividers and does that even matter much (change of tuning freq.)? Also is it possible to just mount the driver without T-Nuts? They caused a lot of hassle in our last builds and we feel like we don't really need to take out drivers often.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesal Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Port and horn divider/braces are all 12mm. I don't use T-Nuts on any of my subs, just screwed in. If it strips rotate the driver and screw to a new area. Works for me, I never had to rotate it yet. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it strips rotate the driver and screw to a new area. Works for me, I never had to rotate it yet. Same for me. I'd prefer screwing directly into the wood. I change drivers often and do the exact same thing. If the screw holes strip I'll either go to a larger diameter screw if there is room in the driver frame, or simply rotate the driver and make new holes. This is one advantage of ply over MDF. Screwing directly into MDF is risky. BTW good work on the cabs. That's a lot of pocket screws! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSC Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Okay that's good news, will go without the T-Nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_ms Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Off-topic (not sure whether a new thread would validate my inquiry; this thread seems the one to most closely resemble its "madness"-level): have any of you guys heard of the Norwegian-developed "Shyhorn" subs? They're fitted with a 24"(!) Precision Devices PD.2450, and take up some ~28 cubic feet (i.e.: 800 liters). I've seen some measurements (if I recall correctly they're to be found via below build-thread link, with written text in Norwegian), and it appears they load fully to 14Hz and extend cleanly to over 150Hz - quite impressive..! I can't quite figure out the specific horn profile used, and what the sensitivity rating is (I'd assume no higher than 95dB's, certainly not above the driver's rated sensitivity), but the horn mouth is located just above the tilted P.D. driver. https://www.hifisentralen.no/forumet/mitt-anlegg-og-billedtra-der/92723-ivaols-hjemmekino.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Looks like a ported box, not a horn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 awe... maybe its a bassmaxx style where the driver is open on one side, other size is a horn. If thats the case, I can't see this 14Hz because of cancellation at long wavelength, but I don't really know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting sub though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricci Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Looks like a reverse taper TL variant. Not technically a horn. Cab seems a little small in the pics for 14Hz but it might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricci Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Kvalsvoll is a member here...Discussing his products for sale is kinda off topic for this thread. What he has going are not "technically" horns but that's just semantics that doesn't really matter in the scheme of things. The tuned resonators being employed are the most interesting aspect of them to me, because they aren't employed very often, but they do increase the size and complexity of the system. Not sure I would call them compact relative to the driver compliment in the cabinets, but I would like to see things like measured impedance, voltage sensitivity, distortion, compression and group delay on one of his designs.

dsl1 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Tried some white duratex. Kind of cool. Two boxes are done. Driver fits! May put one more coat of duratex on. The white doesn't cover as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have questions about my designs, you can ask in the Room2-thread, I may even answer. As for this specific construction pictured above here, that is not something I sell or build, this is a diy based on technical input provided by me.

I did have a brief look at your website. It appears you are selling subwoofers or will be soon? I don't care if your stuff is discussed. By all means do so, but I don't think the Skram thread is the best place for their discussion. It appears that member Alexel may have questions.

dsl1 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 @Ricci - driver bolting was actually quite easy on this one. My impact driver fit nicely under the brace and the handles aren't in the way of the bolts. I did not try putting the driver in with the handles already attached, but you should be able to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
