H-Frames completed and ready for driver install.

All the pieces are lettered for correct assembly of the H-Frame.

Well done, Sir!

Anything I could have done differently to make things easier on you?

Here's a pic of the modular triple 12 inch flat pack. It's not finished, just mocked up.

Unless something gets in the way I will be shipping Friday.

Thanks,

Ruben

So Ruben,

These are modular boxes? If so, did you do this for strength or ease of build or both?

They look really good by the way

Hey Greg,

The triple 12" towers are very heavy. This design is intended to make them easier for one person to manage. They get assembled and built out as separate units and then stacked and bolted together in their permanent location. A neat feature of this system is that you can start out with a single driver and expand as necessary.

I'll be sure to post a picture of the finished product. I've made a couple aesthetic improvements.

Flat pack arrived today. Incredible packing job. Gonna spend the next few days assembling the kit and painting it. Got some Duratex to give it a textured look.

In this instance you'd need a 'floored' button, both figuratively and literally..

I cut the fitted top to show how it looks. Not a problem for me either way. The over sized top is easier to install since you don't have to line the edges up.

Grilles will finish them off nicely!

Ruben,
I really like the oversize top cap! Very nice indeed!

This is very cool!

OMG, just awesome! PM sent, Ruben.

I asked Ruben for a modular OB H-Frame sub array so that it makes it easy to ship and assemble at home. They are setup with adjacent drivers opposing each other like the other H-Frame subs.

They will lock together for stability.

Asked Danny for a pair of the Rythmik HX800 amps to drive them as it takes one amp per side for 6 - 12" sub drivers. The amp also has an XLR input, so I can use them with the dspMusik digital crossover as a direct feed from the DAC's since they have volume control for all 8 channels.

They are going in my 10' x 16' x 25' listening room for the system I am building.

This is going to be a fun project!

Originally I misunderstood what he was asking for. Rich was asking for 2 pairs of 3 x 12" H-frames and he was going to stack and clamp together. I thought he wanted (2) 3 x 12" H-frame flat packs that he could build in steps, so after a bit of thought I came up with what you see in the pictures. Simple to build, easy to manage and expandable. Fortunately, Rich liked the looks and flexibility of the modular system better, so I didn't have to remake them as single piece 3 x 12"'s.

Rich, I'm finishing the grilles up today. I'll post another picture later today with the grilles attached.

Best,

Ruben

Ruben,
The grills look great on the sub array!

This is going to be very cool indeed!

Can't wait to see them once you've got them tearing your house apart at the seams.
