Soniphase SL6

[Skratch]

Building a pair of Soniphase SL6 folded horns. Designed by Dana Moore and this is his latest design. Suppose to be able to destroy your house with these. Have EVX-155 1000 watt drivers in them. Grand daughter wants them for a playhouse. All the 3/4 inch 13 ply Baltic Birch was cut on a Laser with +/- .002 tolerance which makes it a breeze to assemble them. More to come as I continue building them.

Just so happens , I have an amp that can test that claim. 4 or 8 ohm Mark??

 

[laatsch55]

5th pic down, is that a jig of some sort??

 

[Skratch]

The EVX-155 are 8 ohm. The 5th picture is 4 pcs of 3/4 glued together to form part of the throat wedge that seperates the horn from the tuned reflex ports. Will be in the next set of pictures

Standard bar clamps, lipped off before I resized the pic. Nice bar clamps.

1.99 at Harbor Freight. Every time I go there I come home with twice the stuff I went to get. Mostly Chinese S%$# but you get what you pay for.

The only way to cut wood !!!!!!

 

[laatsch55]

With a laser?? Not a blade??

 

[Pure_Brew]

That's some cool $h¥t right there!

 

[Skratch]

Its a 2500 watt CO2 laser which cuts up to 300 inches per minute on 3/4 in wood. It has 24 large vacuum tubes in it.

Have the baffles and trapizoid done

 

[laatsch55]

JESUS DUDE!!!! That's some involved woodworking!!! Lookin good, Can't hardly wait!!!

 

[Skratch]

Almost done, Almost 200 screws in each one. Had to put it all together to check alignment and take it apart and glue everything together and put it all back together again. Thank God for powered tools

 

[laatsch55]

Or what????--You'd be screwed out?

 

[Skratch]

Pictures of trapezoid and speaker The EVX-155 is good for 1000 watts continuous 2400 peak.

 

[laatsch55]

That's some serious WOOF!!!!!!!!!!!

Those sure are pretty - looking forward to seeing them completed. The tolerances you're holding are amazing for woodworking. More pictures please!

I'll just have to assume that the laser cutter is not in your garage.

Thanks for sharing - Dennis

Its at work

Great work Mark, did you CAD model the wooden parts before you fed it to the laser? SolidWorks or ProE?

I have converted to designing/modeling my wood projects in SolidWorks before I start cutting wood. Easier to find your mistakes on the screen before making them in wood.

 

[Skratch]

Joe, I had my head designer do it in Solidworks. Found a few mistakes in the print once we laid it out on the CAD. Burned all the screw holes and all the angles so when I put it together it fit like a glove. The laser is so accurate that once you put it together you cannot see any light anywhere in the joined pieces. Once I glued it together there was no need for any silicone sealant anywhere.
