Impressive! I am also embarking on a CNC build, though I'm using Sketchup and Vcarve: 4 Tuba 24 and 1 TAT. It would be very useful if you could summarize the mods that you made for your CNC design. 1. Was there a rule for using the slots and tabs? It looks like you added them for interior parts only...

Thanks for the input. Sounds like this is not an issue. I'll use Speakon if I decide to go with the bypass feature.

One idea would be to build a box around it on the inside, or perhaps mount piece of pvc tubing with a cap.

CDM

I don't think that that one would work. The schematic in the Tuba 24 plans calls for the wiring to be different between the Speakon and 1/4" jacks, with the Speakon used to pass signal through the passive crossover and the 1/4" jack to the driver directly. There is no doubt that Speakons a...

Is there a 1/4 jack design that is airtight? Or does it matter? I am preparing to build a set of T24s and, following the plans, would like to install both Speakon and 1/4 inch jacks at the front and rear. In the front, where the horn path is closer to to the driver, I expect that this is important. ...

Tactix, I am considering a T30 build, and am also considering the translation of the plans for use by a CNC using CamBam. This thread has been fascinating, and among the best I have read. A few questions: 1. How did the story end? 2. Did you update your plans and code based on your discoveries with ...

Bill, Do you mean that any tuning behavior comes from the dimensions of the slot? Does the 6th Order example in the image below characterize the general case of the design for these boxes? Not that it really matters. The only certainty is that they are odd. I'll report back on with subjective impres...

Thanks Bill.

Does the orientation of the box matter? For example with the slot parallel to the floor vs. orthogonal? Can the boxes be coupled when run as a pair when the slots are next to each other?

I assume that your guidance on room placement still applies.

?? Especially interested in the theory of why the slot is beneficial.

Thanks,

I tried to hook up both cabinets this morning but only got a momentary pop from one of them. I was going to open them up anyway. The weigh about 90 pounds, with the current drivers installed. The cabinets are trapezoidal, with the front face measuring 23.5 x 23.5 and the rear face 19.5 x 23.5. they ...

Its not shown in the photos but the drivers bear the same label as the cabinets. I expect that they are a white-label driver from another manufacturer, with the origin obscured. However, This means that they are likely original.

Thanks for all of the comments so far!!

...in the garbage behind a large venue in the process of remodeling. Photos are attached. Observations are as follows: 1. They are trapezoidal in shape, with rails mounted on opposing sides. This makes me think they are designed for use in a line array. 2. The installed drivers are 18", making ...
