HPower Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 6" hole cut with router and homemade circle jig... Quote
CECAA850 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Not sure if it was needed but I filled the pocket screw holes with calking. Unnecessary. BTW, LOVE the press. Quote
HPower Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Layout drawn on 1/2" Baltic Birch, as per drawing (adjusted for 3/4" thick baffle)... Quote
CECAA850 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Hopefully it's not critical but the drivers back chamber is now smaller than in the plans or so it seems. Quote
HPower Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Sorry for the reverse chronological order... The Baltic Birch was cut on my table saw, speaker holes cut with router, dry fitted with Kreg Pocket screws and then final glue with PL Premium. The exterior panels were cut with a slight (1/8") rebate and the routed with a flush cut bit to make nice corners at final size. Quote
HPower Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Hopefully it's not critical but the drivers back chamber is now smaller than in the plans or so it seems. Hey Carl, I adjusted that back chamber measurement to accommodate the extra thick baffle... what's 1/4" among friends Quote

Hey Carl, I adjusted that back chamber measurement to accommodate the extra thick baffle... what's 1/4" among friends So now the top horn path is 1/4 inch longer, LOL. I'm to AR to deviate from the plans. Bravo to you sir, it looks fantastic. Can't wait to hear your impressions. What mains will you put with it? Bookshelves? Plate amp? Room size? Quote
ClaudeJ1 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Thank you both. This sub was one of if not the easiest sub I've built. The kit really spoils you. I'm thinking about doubling all the dimensions and using this folding scheme with a beefy 18" driver. That should get me closer to 12 Hz. and be a decent match for my twin DTS-10's. Would that be a "holy crap" setup or what?! Quote
CECAA850 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 You'd have to do more than double the dimensions. A tapped horn with a 15" driver tuned to 16 Hz is about a 29 cu ft box. Quote

bracurrie Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I also have purchased two of these tapped horn kits and drivers. I noticed over at the AVS forum http://www.avsforum.com/t/1238398/reed-exodus-anarchy-25hz-tapped-horn that the designer had batting at each corner of the horn. Is it needed and what does it accomplish? Quote
DizRotus Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 In that same thread on the AVS forum, the general consensus seems to be it's not needed. Quote
bracurrie Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 In that same thread on the AVS forum, the general consensus seems to be it's not needed. Yeah, I saw that. I was hoping for a third opinion. Simpler without. Quote
mustang guy Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I could only speculate that is reduces some unwanted resonance. Frankly, it looks like it might reduce the effectiveness of the horn a good bit. Quote
CECAA850 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 What have we got, maybe 3 of these being built now? Not a single review or impression??? Quote
DizRotus Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I haven't touched my works in progress in weeks, and won't be able to finish them for a few more weeks. Then I'll share. Quote

I haven't touched my works in progress in weeks, and won't be able to finish them for a few more weeks. Then I'll share. Same here Carl, My kitchen renovation has been stealing all my spare time. I should have the kitchen cabinets installed in about 3 weeks and then back to my builds... 1 tapped horn assembled and the 2nd one has been laying in pieces for about a month Edited February 1, 2014 by HPower Quote
