Received my RL-P15 today, all in one piece. Thank`s Mike for exelent shipping. I was like a small kid on cristmas eve, this is gonna be fun. Will post som pics when i`m starting to build 2x sonosub for my hometh. Now i`m a member in the ss-club.

 

[atledreier]

Congrats! I love mine! How will you tune them?

 

[lglura]

Howdy atledreier, nice to meet fellow countryman in this forum.
Planed to tune it 15,5 hz, got my 20" sonotubes. Did also received my compass for the router today. Next week i`m planning to cut the top and bottom. I`m using 19 mm MDF in 3 layer. Well i`m not gonna describe this build now, pics will follow as this project proceeds.

 

[Mike P.]

Looking forward to your build pics! The tuning is 15.5 hz, what will the net volume be?

 

[atledreier]

Feel free to check out my build thread. I've tuned mine slightly lower, but that shouldn't make a difference.

Where in Norway are you located?

 

[Jerm357]

Lets hear your design plan. It seems like forever since we had a new SS build around here. Im looking forward to seeing alot of pictures, Dont let us down. If you need any advice just let us know. :T

The volum of the tube is 10.18 cu.in. (288.5 ltr) depending of how solid i`ll make the endcaps the net volum will be 9.7 cu.in. I`d hope to tune it at 14.5(not 15.5) as recomended, but the volum is sinking so if the tuning ends below 16 hz, i`m satisfied.

Thank`s atledreier, has checked out your build thread, impressiv work.
I`m locaded in nothern norway in a small place called skulsfjord.

 

[atledreier]

The full height of your 20" tubes with a 75cm 4" port will give you very close to 13.5hz real world tuning. I have mine set up that way. Triple layer MDF for the endcaps, with two layers sticking into the tube.

Thank`s, i will not let your guys down, will post pics when i`m starting the build.My plans are to build two sonosub`s and 7 speakers for my HT- room. Has just started to build the speakers.

 

[atledreier]

Well.. You HAVE started building the speakers and haven't posted any pictures yet? :foottap: addle:

 

[lglura]

My pc went crazy, everythig got suddenly veeery sloooow. Did try to attach a picture but the computer did not want to.:hissyfit: Try again later.

 

[lglura]

atledreier.
Did you get some noise from the 4" port, planed to use 6" but if 4" does the job i will get ones my self.

 

[atledreier]

I meant 6" port, of course! Sorry about that!

No noise unless I run sinus tones at very low frequency and high volume. I get MUCH more noise from the rest of the house..

 

[Jerm357]

I would make sure to use a 6" port. Do not go with a 4" one. You will want about 33" X 6" to tune 9.7cf to 14.5hz. Did you order the D2 or the D4 version of the RL-p?

Did order the RL-p15 D2 to get the 4 ohm load for my amp.

Ok, heres a picture of the driverunits. RL-p15, Seas CA18RNX, Monacor DT300 with the waveguide.
The build is seven speakers (zaph waveguide TMM) and two SStowers.
When pictures of the enclosures is ready, i`ll post them in a new thread.

 

[lglura]

Ok guys, i have a delay in my sonosub project becouse some missing tools.
One last q before i starts.
The port is 30" x 6" tube with a 30 mm flange in both ends. This is a very long and thin tube. Is there going to be any resonance in it, should i support it down in the sonotube.

 

[atledreier]

No need, unless you're planning on laying the tubes on side.

 

[lglura]

No need, unless you're planning on laying the tubes on side.

Thanks Atle, you have answered this q earlier, but my common sence says that in the tube there is a lot of pressure that will couse resonaces ,turbulence and distortion. I only want to be safe that my build is solid, its to late to do something better when it`s done. But if it`s not necessery, i will listen to your advice and build it without.
