DrFish96 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 HI, I have decided to try to build some speakers on my own. I have waited for a pair of these to come up and they have but they have been to far away to get. I know that I can get the insides from either Ebay or Bob. I do have some tweeters for the project. I am using La Scala's right now as my fronts but want to go to a Cornwall for the fronts. I already have Cornwall II for the surrounds and chorus I for the rear surround. I would really appreciate if somebody could email me some sort of palns for building these. Thanks Drfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Robin Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 You should be able to get the basic measurements from the II's that you have. I may be wrong if so some one please speak up. You should be able to figure out the locations on the motor board from pictures of verticals. Later Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 This is the 2 port version.: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 And the 3 port version. Someone will have to tell you just where the mid and tweet get mounted. These were drawn up by a forum member, with input from others here. Isn't this place great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Of course, the decorator doesn't have the recessed front, but the dimensions should help out a lot. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi: You may want to contact POPBUMPER, who is a member on this forum. He has built Cornwall Vert cabinets for people (DamonRPayne for one) and looking at his work, he does top notch work. JJ Here is a link to Damon's site that may show a picture of his Vert. Cornwall. http://www.klipschcorner.com/Default.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popbumper Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hello[ I sell vertical cornwall motorboards if you are interested. I can also build the whole box if you want to go that direction, raw or veneered. If I can help, let me know. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Chris, I didn't mean to slight you. I forgot you had the cnc set up for making all the cuts. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFish96 Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Attn. Popbumper, I emailed you but I am not sure you got it. I am interested in talking to you about the Motorboards or even the whole box. Please email me at Drfish96@aol.com Thanks Peter Drfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The plans have generally the correct dimensions, and the motorboard is of course different for the vertical CW. IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE- on a Decorator model, the top and bottom are cut less deep and the motorboard extends the ENTIRE height of the cabinet. Viewed from the front all you see is edge/motorboard/edge. You do not see the edges of the top or bottom. This give a more uniform appearance to the front grain yet adds the cabinet rigidity of having the motorboard encased by the sides. So, same cabinet, but different cut list. That is all.

Thanks for the info. Got a project I am working on. There will, of course, be pics I I get it finished up.Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in theory, that could make it stonger for missions in which it would lay on it's side and have large TV's placed on top of it.

colterphoto1 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 the interlocking of the panels keeps it from racking. on a standard cabinet the inset motorboard serves the same function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popbumper Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Bruce: You did not "slight" me at all, I took the liberty to jump in the pool []. Sadly my motorboards are unsuitable for Dr. Fish's application since he is looking for, obviously, veneered units, and mine are MDO plywood. If anyone else is looking for vertical motorboards, please say so, I have sold a few. They are precision CNC cut and are predrilled on the back side for the driver screws, so there is less work for the installer. Thanks for your interest.
