Mono/stereo Stack

Hello guys, Story short: we're gonna do an outdoor party where we can't use the speaker stands for the top speakers - don't trust them on the underlay as it's in the forest. Therefore I've tried various setups to find the "best" solution for this party. It's only about 100 people and we wo...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 8: Finishing the cabs! The day I'd been waiting for! Finally something that I know how to do properly; electronics! :chainsaw: I premade the filters at University and installed them in the cabs. The insulation and drivers got installed as well. We didn't really have any issues with this part, an...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 7 - continued The horns got painted as well and also the back parts of the cabs. They started looking like speakers now.. Or at least my step dad thought so :lol: But as you probably know - it's not enough looking good at the front - the back also matters. I just thought that it was a cool shot!...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 7 - last day of the weekend build! I was sure that I'd be able to finish the cabs on time. But I also found out that I forgot to bring one of the top hats.. so the top hats got installed in 3 positions.. and one had to wait.. :wall: Well, I went directly to finishing the diffraction horns. I for...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 6 - the second day of the weekend build! Mentally this was surely the best day of the build so far. I was so confident from the day before, so I woke up, ate my breakfast and went directly to the workshop! I spent quite some time finishing the back of both cabs. The back part fit perfectly in th...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 5 - first day of the weekend build! So, as I'm posting this, I already finished the cabs. It's been some very busy days, so I haven't been able to update the thread before now. So you'll have the pleasure of reading the entire thing in one go. I'll have to do it in multiple posts, so let's go! D...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Thanks Bill. I was hoping to avoid doing that. Hopefully we have something like that in the workshop.
There is nothing else to do?

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 4 - continued: I wanted to install the sides as well. But when I saw the horn sides and finally could fit the sides I realised that one of the cabs is twisted. I don't know about the other one, as it was getting quite late. How do I work my way around this? :confused: These pictures I have fit i...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 4: Long break, but back at it! I finally had an evening off, as I've been moving, travelling, studying etc.. So during moving, I went to my mum's place with the speakers. Her husband (they just got married!) has the biggest playground ever. Bill mentioned: The one with the most tools when dying ...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

You can do it that way, but if the shop has a pneumatic brad nailer it will speed up the process a lot. Will definitely use it next time.. only thing I was worried about, was eventually leaking the PU to the part of the wax paper with the nail going through.. actually the reason we didn't do it.. t...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 3 - part 2: My mum is getting married today, and I have postponed my assignments to have more time this week. So now the built will halt for some time. I have to focus on my studies until Easter. Also I'll go travelling for 10 days from Thursday, so unfortunately we have to wait to finish the ca...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Day 3 in the workshop. It was only 5 hours, and we had to wait for some tools, so we only managed to do one round of glue, as we had to move the cabinets by car when the workshop closed. Well, we got to work on all the other parts, so now it's just about assembly. First we installed the top pieces o...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Hej Hans. Really a great thread. Looking forward to more pics. What do you plan to use as sub for the Otop8's? Love how you use spanners! You can NEVER have too many spanners... Thank you for following! We finished for today already, but will upload pictures as soon as I get on my laptop. Haha, tha...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Not difficult at all! In sketchup, you can change the default measurement from inches to mm, so you can get your measurements down to the mm. The tolerance is up to 1/8", or 3.2mm... That's exactly what I did :) I think that I have to live with not being able to do it in exact measurements.. w...

Re: First build: 2x Otop8

Second day in the workshop :chainsaw: Another set of braces were installed first: 56191278_263631174525282_837370665391620096_n.jpg As we wanted to make sure that the braces were dry enough to work with, the horn panels were installed a couple of hours later. This was actually a little more complica...
