have you build any thing big that what you have on you tube and when was your last video?

[hastolloy]

This is my first and latest speaker video...Its spring time hear in Wisconsin so its out doors I go...wont have any new speaker videos till late fall....

FYI, that's particle board not MDF. The speaker is really a ACI G3 from years back. I actually have those drivers and just got the Xover drawing from Mike D the owner of ACI. How did it sound? I'd really like to know.

I think they sound great...Friends say they sound great...Wife says there to big and too loud

Good luck finding High Density Fiberboard(HDF)...a local lumber yard was trying to pass of Medium Density Fiberboard as HDF...The thing I did was to glue to 3/4" MDF to make a 1 1/2 boards...What v8malibu is talking about...is to take two boards, keeping them seperated, say an inch, and filling the gap between the two with concrete...it can be done but very time consuming...What I think helped for the speakers in this video was that I glued accustical ceiling tiles on the inside of the cabinets.

MDF due to its extremely low porosity and medium density. The best enclosure would probably be two MDF enclosures built inside eachother with a space in between filled with concrete to create an enclosure with a really low resonating frequency..lower then audible. You need to coat the outside of the inside box with resin and the inside of the outside box as well so they don't absorb moisture from the concrete.

[hastolloy]

I agree with you on all points...What I read some time ago that some one used sand instead of concrete...however I need to finish these speakers in my life time not my grandchildrens.

YOU NEED BRACING---DAMPENING OF CABINETS--DE COUPLING THE SPEAKERS---X OVER WELL SEPARATED FROM VIBRATIONS--TWEETER IS BETTER, MUCH BETTER OUTSIDE OF THE CABINET---IT WILL BE A MUCH CLEARER SOUND---NOT A GREAT PROJECT!!! CHECK MY NEW DIY BLACK MOMSTERS---

@docrw

You are right- it is not MDF, or HDF, but old fashioned particle board

[kimchee94112]

@hitachi654 Old school Wharfedale speakers were filled with sand.

[Gioxtream]

Hum...Looks like a Troels Gravensen design.Really good if you ask me.

[brigslibut]
