So I took the leap and got the drivers... For my first box I decided to stick to the Fostex recommended enclosure... In the future I want to experiment a bit...
So this is what the plans look like:
And the speakers that they present:
Step 1: Getting the wood...
The week before Christmas is not a good time to try get wood... I had to beg and plead to get them to cut it for me...
mmmm...
First step was to measure and number the wood according to the plans...
Step 2: Start measuring...
Measure and measure again... so easy to make little mistakes...
Step 3: Starting construction on the inside pieces...
a little hint... get a decent set square...
I was torn between glue and screw or dowels... I used dowels where I did not want screws showing (on the outside)...
The back 'ladder chassis'... I think it is there as much for strength but also to balance the weight of the speakers...
Step 4: Dry construction...
Just to make sure I have everything right... I had to shave some pieces to get them all the same height...
Step 5: Pre finishing...
There is no way to finish the inside visible bits once the speaker is together so I decided to do some pre-finishing before I do the final glueing...
Step 6: Final construction...
to follow....
