SoundSplinter RL-P15 build

[thxgoon]

Wow... I'm jealous

For dampening I used R-13 and it has worked fine.

[lglura]

Thanks, it`s realy nice to be here
Have done some researching into dampening, and have no more q`s aboat the build. Starting to cut out the parts to the "engine" and the "enginehood" this week.
"I`ll be back" with more pics.

[lglura]

I have started to assamble the bottomcap, total 4 layers 19 mm MDF.

[atledreier]

Might be a little late, but it's probably be a good idea to round the edges before assembly, it's easier that way.

[lglura]

Hi Atle. I have a guided trimmer for my router, the first layer is rounded and will be used as a guide to the next layers, i`ll show you when i post the next pics this weekend.

[lglura]

This is how i did it, uses the first layer as a guide. But it`s important to use a good jig-saw to cut close up to to the line.

The anchor for the speaker-screws.

When i glue the third layer i had to use tape on the anchores so the glue don`t get in the threads

The third layer is asambled

[atledreier]

Love the 'warts'. I guess those will be mounting for the legs? That's a neat idea!

[lglura]

The "Mickey Mouse ears" are for the legs, think you will love them when i has put the finishing touch to the build. It`s not possible to build a sonosub in other fashion than a tube. I`ll try to bring some new ideas to the build.

[lglura]

The 4th layer mdf in the bottomcap is glued,
coming up is the legs and the plate for the speakerterminals, and the final paintjob.

What size are those tubes??? ...I'm deciding on a Sonosub built too.

[lglura]

The tubes are 20"x 60", the net volum is ~270 liter, and tuning is 15hz.

[lglura]

This is the complete port-tube with top plates and damping.
Has not finnished the top cover yet, are going to made it in hard-wood

[Mike P.]

Awesome workmanship! Looking good!

[thxgoon]

Ya, really really nice job! What is your damping material?

[salvasol]

Nice ...(I'm planning mine and maybe I will clone your design )!!!

It looks like batting

[lglura]

Thanks guys, i appreciate your feedbacks, the damping material is 30 mm high density mineral-wool manufactured for sound-damping (rock-wool).

[lglura]

Didn`t planned to post anything more this week, but i have just complete the drawing of the legs. My major problem is to get time for my build. post more pics when i have done some more works.
Untill then, enjoy

[salvasol]

I got curious what ubuntu is ...so, here is the definition from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_...istribution%29


Iglura: What's your babyes name???

[lglura]

Ok, now i understand what it means.
I will not reveal the name yet, you have to wait untill the baseplate is ready.

Can't wait ...you better give me the name now ...or you won't get the greeting card

[lglura]

News from far up north, the legs are finnished and ready for the baseplate.
What do you think, is this ok?

[Mike P.]

That's classy! Looks great!
