Re: 2xDR250 CNC project

Grant, I'm trying to learn as much as possible from this project, so I'll be totally satisfied if everything turns out poorly in a way that I find informative. My thoughts about bracing/wood thickness are as follows: I added some bracing to the internal parts (around all the horn throats, and in the...

Re: 2xDR250 CNC project

Thanks for the feedback! I hope I've been clear in asserting that I don't consider my choices to be improvements over the stock plans. And thanks for explanations! I have a hard time following instructions if I don't have a thorough understanding of the justifications, and I definitely haven't thoug...

Re: 2xDR250 CNC project

1. I certainly don't have a foolproof rule, but here are a couple notes: - make sure to add dogbones in vcarve, and make sure to recompute the toolpath after adding them - I made sure to set the width of all the pieces in the model to the actual width of the wood I purchased (measured with calipers)...

Re: 2xDR250 cnc project

This'll make it easier to use off the shelf crossovers (though I'm planning to bi-amp + dsp and delay for t...

2xDR250 CNC project

Hey folks! I've been working on a pair of DR250s, and I'm excited to share my progress. My overarching goal is to build a sound system that will work reasonably well for medium-sized parties at indoor/outdoor venues. It'll be used to play -a variety of electronic music- dope bass music. I already bu...

I got interested in building speaker enclosures ~ a year ago, and started working on a jack10 lite starting from one of @eac's amazing flat pack kits from speakerhardware. Sadly stuff got in the way, and that project remains unfinished. More recently I've start...
