The XSD Speaker

[bloqhed]

Bryguy beating me to my questions! I think a flatpack would be the most ideal of course, otherwise the front baffle and maybe the MDF woofer housing.

I would be interested. What does pricing look like?

I can connect you and work out the details with the cabinet maker. PM me if interested.

Same thing I was thinking, faceplate and woofer housing. Maybe just the woofer housing, those 5 pieces wouldn't be too horrible to ship

As an experienced hobbyist CNC'er it would not be difficult to machine the waveguide directly into the plywood. Would look interesting with the plies exposed.

 

[xrk971]

Great idea. You would need some sort of plates to clamp the driver in place from the back as the waveguide allows little M3 screws to be used.

Btw, demand for XO Kits and now availability of the inductor has made it possible for me to offer the kits back in my shop again. No GB needed.

Awesome news!

A couple of the Mills MRA resistors are now out of stock and back ordered until October. I will have to substitute with Dayton DPR10 series (10W non-inductive 1% tolerance).

Before I search, is the waveguide profile proprietary?

To clarify, XO kits can be purchased at any time from your Etsy store?

 

[xrk971]

The XO can be ordered at anytime but I am seeing issues with parts availability. There are two available right now for sure.
I haven’t given out the 3D file for the waveguide if that’s what you are asking.

Yesterday (8/29) I received an email from PE saying they expect the PRV back in stock on 8/29...
I'm slightly confused....

 

[jack_b]

I got the same notice.

 

[jack_b]

I just checked my account on the PE website. It still shows the PRV drivers on back order.

Now, "expected back in stock any day" - so let's hope.

Another delay, now 9/12.
Come on...

Just placed order for the 16 woofers. That will be all the drivers when they arrive.Where does one get this Noico deadening stuff, and how much is required?

[xrk971]

You don’t need much but this will be handy for other speaker projects. Just a couple square feet should do it.

I bought mine on A... just type Noico alubutyl. One box was enough for two FAST TLs and there's still some left over, so it's definitely enough for this speaker.

If anyone has extra they want to sell or go partners on a purchase Iwill need som as well. The Amazon source listed is currently out.
