Bracing: In two parts
TLDR: We got started with very large speakers. They weighed too much and were difficult to use. We now build smaller speakers with lots of bracing that are (relatively) light and easy to use.
When designing new speaker cabinets, we employ three engineering constraints for all of our boxes:
1) All cabinets must …

24-06-14 – DJ Booth
Scotty wants to build a Playatech DJ booth. I asked him to send me his plans so I can take a look. He gave me this file (DJ-Dope-Assy)
I spent a few hours in Fusion and came up with the following. I only needed 13 variables.
The DJ booth uses two sheets of 1/2″ …

The maths
I sent Mike this link I got from Deon Brown about Friendly Pressure over in England. I included the following note:
“I would like to hear your thoughts on what he is building.
3D printing the tweeter waveguide is not something I had considered. There is no reason we can’t print our own horns! …

Let’s talk about the baffle
All of our speaker designs include a baffle. The baffle is where we mount the drivers (speakers) and often include ports and structural supports. For this post, I will be talking about design decisions relating to our Ported Bass 15″ Modular speaker cabinet.
Our designs, generally, set the baffle back (variable: baffle_setback) 1.5 …

Middle PB18 – 12v
We have created a smaller “Middle System” for Cali to use when he plays at Brooklyn Basin.
We want a solution that
1) Will fit in a Tacoma pickup truck
2) Delivers as much bass as possible to balance the strong mids and highs
3) Runs off 12v LiFePO4 batteries using car audio …

LBH Dual 15 Bass
Last Friday we had a great time with Morgan and Sulaiman’s Days Like This event at the lake. After lots of discussion, Mike and I would like to experiment with building a cabinet using two of the Faital Pro 15HP1030 – 15″ High Power bass drivers we install in our THAM 15. The hope is …

Middle Tops
At The Listening Room (TLR) we have our Main System set up. While we love it, we rarely take it out as it is so massive. Cali, Dave and Charles all want to start throwing parties at Brooklyn Basin and assorted renegade spots in the East Bay.
We have built the THAM-15’s for Sulaiman and …
