Many thanks to my good friend Wayne Wendel for
constructing the gorgeous piano black finish enclosures.
I am told the enclosures are simple to build and a pair
can easily be made from a single sheet of 3/4" MDF. To
further dampen side panel resonance, two dowel type
braces were added behind the drivers. The enclosure
width is 7-1/2" with a 3/8" round-over on all sides.
Height was arbitrarily limited to 36" in keeping with
the compact nature of the design, but could be easily
modified to accommodate a range of optimum listening
heights. The cabinet's depth is 14-1/4". Acoustic foam
was applied to the enclosure above and behind the
drivers. The crossover was attached on the angle of
the fold directly below the terminus.
I used polyfill to stuff the lines, but you can use
fiberglass, Acousta StufT, or whatever strikes your
fancy. I found that a light to medium fill behind the
drivers and a medium to heavy fill from below the
drivers to the terminus gave the best response for my
preference in my own listening environment. Start out
with moderate amounts of filling material per enclosure
and stuff to taste.
