  1. Ricci's Skram Subwoofer & Files

    in Bass Projects

    Posted

    IV now finished my first skram. It was a really tough build since I'm not a woodworking expert. My biggest mistakes are badly cut top, bottom and side panels. I need to find a way to accurately cut 4x8 plywood. Suggestions are welcome. The internal pieces were good as my table saw did the job just right.

    Initial sound testing is ok so far with a brand new Lavoce SAN215.30. It seems the deep bass(35hz and lower) could only be heard right up close to the enclosure. 20 feet away and I heard nothing under 35hz. I figure multiple enclosures would solve this anomaly 🤷🏾‍♂️.

    In any case it sounds good, I hope to paint it soon and then build a second enclosure by Easter. And I'm probably the first person in Jamaica to build a skram 😁 

    Many thanks to Ricci for this project 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

     

    btw would you guys mind sharing your EQ settings?

    Draw a 1:1 sketch onto the wood (optional but helpful). Then make a 6° jig for the table saw and cut it where it needs to be cut

     

    Thanks for the advice, it worked out easier than I thought. I should have my first skram in time for the new year!

    Question for the more proficient woodworkers here.

    Referring to baffle brace J in the construction plans.

    I don't have a CNC machine, I only have a table saw, circular saw and jig saw. My tools are usually only good for square or rectangle cuts.

    Can anyone advise me on the best method/trick of accurately making the 6 degree angle cut (on the right side) with the tools that I have? Its a tricky cut with the tools I have...

     

    Thanks

    Hey Revolt,

    As far as I know no one has run more than 2 cabs yet. This is a significantly more powerful design in a semi compact size than any others I'm aware of on the market. Especially in the 25-40Hz range. 6 or 8 should be devastating. The only things that are likely to compete or exceed these on a 1 vs 1 basis are Danleys largest most expensive subs like the BC415, TH812, or DBH218LF and other major companies top of the line largest, most expensive subs. M-force based systems, etc...As far as subs go you can accomplish a lot with cabinet design and " magic" ,but at the end of the day you need power handling, cone area and the ability for the drivers to move a lot of air via high xmax. Dual top of the line 21's are used for a reason.

    The Faital 18's give up displacement capability, cone area and I've not simulated them or tried them in this cab. Out of what Faital offers the 18XL2000 is probably the best match without giving up too much output. I'd really recommend 21's though. The extra cone area helps out a lot. If cost is an issue the Lavoce SAN214.50 models very well. I'm not sure what it would cost in the UK but here it is very reasonably cost ($450 usd). I have 2 on hand for testing and so far it looks like a lot of driver for the money.

    How does the Lavoce SAN214 compare to the 21DS115?
