  • Very nice build, congratulations! Was it hard to bend the thin MDF with the bands/ropes without getting indentations from where the straps were?

    I noticed you didnt use the pre-sliced MDF that many uses but which often leaves a visible pattern of flat surface, break, flat surface, break... Yours is much nicer as it is a uniform elliptical back.

    We want to hear them ! :D

  • @TheHavoc09 No not at all, The ratchet straps is 50 mm wide and bends rigth over the frame. There are no marks. Yes the surface is much more uniform with this method. The secret is to gently weting of the board at the bending inside, and slowly bend the bord :-)

  • fantastic stuff, well done. I am embarking on a pair soon and am using veneered mdf with solid walnut slips around the edges. Why did you mention absolutely no screws?

  • Because there is no screws or nails in the construction, only mdf and glue. (glue, press and wait for drying...)

  • Show as the pls. the xover points are?

  • lovely job Kennet and what is the lovely music if you dont mind

    Thanks Stuart

  • @KennetHult Nice, Thx for sharing your little secret ;). They actually look very cool without lacquer also where you can see the layers.

  • really they are amazing and this type of design [elliptical design} was in my mind from two years but i kept thinking how to bend that wood n i wasnt that much skilled coz i was 17yrs old and my family also didnt supported me for the finance needed for the project. your speakers are really an inspiration. now i've made a pair of speakers[my first diy speaker design] with 10" fullrange drivers n i'll be uploading a video soon. thanks for uploading your whole project video its really marvelous .

  • bravo, bravo

  • when i saw it, i think the same. lol

  • How did you get the mdf to bend around the back like that?

  • Great work, I also have diy speakers for my home theater sound set up, the finish isn't as beautiful as yours, but I'm happy with the sound: front speakers, surrounds and center channel, total power 350W approx. just for $US 250 is a deal and great sound. I have a YAMAHA RXV 359. couldn't be happier with the results..
