Phoenix Gold Oz Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 looks like your building that front baffle to be bulletproof nice work Well 'OFFICIALLY' the two baffles (top and bottom boxes) are designed to be as strong as possible and with the progression in height from front to rear (18" front to 14" rear) we create a slight taper to the centre chamber aiding in the propagation of the sound waves... <whew> Now 'UNOFFICIALLY' we just plain didn't have the mounting depth for the rear row of woofers on the top box due to the way the roof angles down at the back...and if we only elevated the rear woofer it would have looked like crap! So the stepped baffles were the answer LOL!!! We've even got a few trick 'flashy' bits in mind to dress it up, but more on that later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Gold Oz Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hi All, Here's what we got up to today... Got both boxes back in the car with the new baffles in place. Drove down to Glenn's place to make a start on the metal bracing and after a few attempts and kicking a few ideas around we now have a SOLID gameplan for making sure that the centre section of the box is Super Strong. You'll have to stay tuned for future updates to see how this progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Gold Oz Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 After we left Glenn to enjoy the Geelong Vs West Coast game, we headed home to pull the top box back out and get it prepped for fibreglass. There are a few angles in the upper rear corners that were just plain too hard to box in, so we're going to glass them up with lotsa layers, but first had to get the shape. Bec stapled some speaker cloth in place to get the shape and we will resin it tomorrow. Once it's set we will begin strengthening it up with layers of chopped matting. Fromt here both boxes will also get a nice coating of resing and chopped mat to make sure everything is compeltely sealed up and also help give things even more strength! Pics: More Tomorrow...
