billyjoe72 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 How about this. It's more than enough I know but I would like to have some extra just for giggles. Maybe put a nice maple stain on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 that seems nice, Actually I brought some walnut veneer from him and it arrived at home yesterday but I am not there to see it. I brought it to make my mother a table I promised her but the thing is this table is going to have a starburst pattern with the grain hence I was looking for about 1 year finding the wood. It is supposed to be rosewood but that is hard to come by, espcially in the quarter cut straight grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 It's probably a few things then...does the cabinet vibrate at all when you start cranking it? And if the cabinet is ~3 feet tall then you very likely have a standing wave at 90Hz - and that can sound akward. It's a bit compounded by the fact that you have the drivers centered vertically...I'm not sure if I forgot to mention it or if it slipped by, but I would have put the active driver about 1/3 from the bottom and then the passive radiators just below the half-way point. I forget the dimensions of your cabinet so can't give you more accurate numbers. Anyways, once you get some damping in there the problem should clean up. If not, then I would recommend throwing in some fat cross-bracing to help break up the direct path between the top and bottom. (just be sure to not restrict the rear wave of the driver).

billyjoe72 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Well, good weather this weekend. I took to old goldwing to walmart friday and got some quilting supplies. I lined the interior walls and wrapped the supports also. It helped it 100 fold. Really softened it up. Hits just as hard without all that nasty boom. Now I'm looking for the right veneer. I'm a little nervous about this part. It seems simple enough. I'm just worried about matching the veneer. The pieces I'm looking at are tall enough, I just have to put 3 pieces on each side to cover it. I hope they match up nice. ( edges butting up to each other. ) toodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 although it eats up some veneer, I would place both pieces and slice them together losing say like 3 mm to ensure a exact mirror fit with each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
