Ha, I might try that myself! I know you can get bendy ply but you'd want the baffle to be straight where the speakers mount I suppose. I wonder if soaking the ply before bending would make it work better?67baja wrote:You know, when I built my curved SLA and now everytime I see someone else building one, I wonder if you could do the baffle as one piece. Instead of cutting each individual baffle section, just cut a kerf about 3/4 of the way through the wood at the appropriate places, fill the kerfs with glue, then bend and clamp at the correct radius. Make sense? I may have to try it to see if it works. I'm sure it would work with plywood, but a solid wood baffle may not work.
Ian, with the volume of that cab, you could probably add a port for extended bass response if so desired. Granted, with a sub you don't need it, but IF you wanted more bass out of that center you could do it.
When would you cut the holes? If you did it before bending it might become too fragile to bend?
Funny you should say that, the Audessy MultiEQ XT32 wanted to cross the center over at 50Hz. It sounded awesome but only at very low volumes. I set the cross over manually to 90Hz to match the others.
