Title: Fallen Enclosures
Post by: HT cOz on 21 Oct 2010, 07:06 pm: Ruben,

Whats the story with your new avitar? Is that a new creation waiting for a press release?

It's been awhile. Hope things are well with you.

Yes, I decided to work on the V-2 design a little. The one in the picture was a first prototype. There will be a few minor changes/improvements before they are ready to be sold. :green:

Post by: dvenardos on 21 Oct 2010, 07:38 pm: Hey Ruben,
I am getting ready to work on the V2 OB sub portion only and am considering ways to integrate the amp into the frame. I was also thinking of a drawer like you have there, but I assume on your design that is for the crossover. Do you have any thoughts?

Post by: Tyson on 21 Oct 2010, 07:44 pm: That amp gets pretty hot, so I'd recommend having it well ventilated, whatever solution you come up with.

Post by: HT cOz on 21 Oct 2010, 08:40 pm: Hey Ruben,

Looks awesome as usual.

Im getting ready to start my N3 and N3S, so even more respect is heading your way from me. :)

I've got my flat pack and it is somewhat daunting for a first timer!

Thanks for posting pictures of your prototype V-2's. They look great! You certainly do first class work. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the V-1's.

Hi Don,

Do you want to be able to see the amp?

Man, I should have taken you up on your offer on the V2 cabs, those are stunning! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE building my own, but since I have to rent time at the local WoodCraft to do the cuts, it's actually cheaper to just buy from you!

No, the raised baffle does not present a problem.

If you have any questions on your Neo builds, I'd be happy to help.

Although it looks a lot different than the original design, it will sound the same.

Hey Cheeseboy,

Not yet. However, I will be building a complete pair of Super V's for a customer here shortly and can post some pics of that pair.

Maybe we can work together on your next pair of speakers. Although, it sounds like it might be quite a while before you lose interest in those V-2's. :thumb:

Title: Re: Fallen Enclosures
Post by: Tyson on 22 Oct 2010, 05:11 am: Man, I gotta tell you, I LOVE my V2's! From an engineering standpoint they just do so much right. From a pure sound quality standpoint they are easily the best speakers I've even had in my condo. From a value standpoint, they are simply off the scale!
Title: Re: Fallen Enclosures
Post by: dvenardos on 22 Oct 2010, 06:22 am: No, I was thinking of building a drawer on either the top or bottom that you could pull out to access the settings on the amp.

Post by: ebag4 on 22 Oct 2010, 04:09 pm: Ruben, beautiful work as always! I love the look of the suspended coax, does not having a solid baffle down to the bass bin modify the response?

Does the crossover reside in the drawer with the sub amp?

I would love to see more pics!

Apologies, I just saw this:

If left opened, yes, the response would change. However, the final design will have a 1/2" acrylic window in the opening. One of these days I may end up sending a complete unit to Danny for some measuring without the acrylic pane in place.

It's actually a display box and not really a "drawer". No, the amp will mount to the rear of the sub section.

When I get the first pair built, I'll post some pics.

Okay, I'll sketch something up and send it to you message box.

Sorry to respond so late Bear.

I didn't finish it completely as I was only getting a feel for it on this one. There's no driver cut out and the lower section doesn't have baffles in it.

Post by: Outofthewoods on 28 Feb 2011, 09:50 pm: Due to the increased discussion on the mighty V-2, I decided to bring this thread to the top to show another option for the V-2 enclosures. (See Page 1) This design is a little more involved, so it will cost a little more than the original version.

As usual, pricing can vary quite a bit depending on how you want them finished. Please email, or PM me if you'd like a custom quote.

Thanks!

Ruben

Post by: Jerrin on 7 Mar 2011, 06:10 pm: Ruben isn't cheap, but he truly does fantastic, quality work. He made my N3-S center channel for me, even put it together, which was not cheap. However, it is without a doubt, the finest speaker I have ever owned. It has a smooth, yet detailed sound and constantly gets comments from visitors.

I have no hestitation doing business with Ruben again and highly recommend his services.
