My replacement table saw arrived this weekend and I spent a couple hours cutting all the No-Rez. 32 pieces with 45 degree miter cuts on all four sides. Now to get all these pieces installed.

EDIT: Actually 64 pieces, not 32.

Looks great.. what are the dimensions of a cut piece? I don’t have access to measure mine at the moment but wanted to get started.

[Jaytor]

Each piece is slightly under 13” x 5.5”.

Awesome thanks!

Prices are  $650 / pair duals, $850 / pair triples, boxes and shipping materials were much more costly than expected.  These things are going to be heavy (approx 75lbs x 2 for duals, 95 lbs x 2 triples.)

As seen later in this thread, there are options for inlaid grill frames for duals @ $60 /pr, triples  @ $75/pr.
Also shown later in thread are some amp boxes that will fit the A370PEQ and HX800 amps. These boxes are 45'd in the corners and  each corner has a #20 biscuit. Assembly is simple.  $60 /pr with  a flat pack  or $70 /pr alone (helps cover a box and packing).

All pricing is in $US.

The duals measure  16" w x 14" d x 30" h. 
The triples measure 16' w x 14" d x 44" h. 
Bases/ tops are 19" x 17", a smaller  overhanging top is also available.
The overhanging tops are much simpler for people to  prep (glue them up, give a light sanding, prime, and paint,), no seams to deal with.

The cabinets use both dadoes and  dowels to  make asembly very easy. Both the baffle and braces will fit into dados..
Each side panel  will have a pair of dowels in each end that will mate witht he top plate and  base also aiding alignment.
Here is an assembly video that Peter Rawlings did for us :

Contact us if you  are wanting something specific

Cabinets:
1.5" MDF  side panels, tops, bases
1" MDF baffles & brases
Combination of dados / dowels for  side panel/baffle/base/top alignment. easy toassemble :beer:
Driver mounting screw holes pre drilled
Round-over on rear side of driver cutouts
CNC cut

What is the lead time for ordering a pair of 4 X 12 OB H Frame Flat Packs? And what is the availability for 3 X 12 OB Flat Packs?

Just an FYI the 4x12 subs will need 2 amplifiers per tower as the HX800 amplifiers are in short supply.
The 3x12" tower will only need one amp per tower.

[Jaytor]

If you want to do a 4-stack, I'd recommend you use the modular cabinets and ask Jay to do a top plate that is the same size as the cabinets (no extra overlap). These have a nice reveal between each separate woofer box and will also have one between the top box and top plate. I think this will look a lot cleaner and more modern than the larger top plate overlap.

Mine are currently built with the larger top plate and I've asked Jay to make new top plates for me that are the same size as the cabinets. 

The modular design is a lot easier to move if you need to relocate your woofer towers. The four stacks weigh 200lbs+.

Agree with Jaytor,
The modular OB H-Frames are much easier to move around and position at about 40lb/module. 

Jay is making me two 6x12 OB H-Frame modular flat pack kits with same size top cap to replace the ones that had water damage in my room.  This time build then paint them.

I have new painted drywall and a floor again!

Thanks for the recommendations. I have to introduce myself in order to see how I can contact Captainhemo to order what you recommend. I am an engineer with too much time on his hands and a large basement theater that I want to eventually install some  GR Research Open Baffle speakers. My plan is to assemble the sub woofers first as I already have some speakers which sound good  but are a bit long in the tooth. So my question is how does one contact Captainhemo ?

Jay and Don made a new set of top plates for my quad modular subs. I installed them today and I think they look much better than the overlapping top plates. They have a reveal at the junction which matches the reveals between the modules, so it works quite well. The larger top plate which extends past the front and sides looked a little clunky, particularly next to my Line Force speakers. Thanks Jay and Don.

[JakeJ]

Very nice setup and room, sir!

[ketchup]

That looks great and I love the grill fabric.  It ties the modules together and makes them look like one unit.

[timc90]

This is an amazing thread and I'm learning so much from it!

I'm sorry if this has already been asked before but I'd like to try and achieve a piano black gloss finish on the OB H-Frame I've just ordered. All the videos I've seen of sanding and polishing use circular pads and I don't think these would be able to access internal corners where three surfaces meet (like trying to polish a floor-wall-wall corner in a room).

I'm thinking I therefore have to paint and polish the panels before assembling them together? Are there any other options you'd recommend?

[Captainhemo]

Hey folks,  j ust a  heads up that     pretty much  all of these  designs are  still available . 
The modular dewsign pics  start on page  13  with some  actual glue up  pics   a couple  pages  further  ahead.
Everything  is   precisely  CNC  cut,  no  errors  .  These    subs  will also fit the  Acoustic Elegance  OB   12"   woofers for  anyone  who may be interested....

Still same  emaol address ( no personal message please)   captainhemo@shaw.ca

Also, here is an assembly video once  again,   it  was done by our colegue Peter  to show  how  these   kits go together  ( solid sided kits, not modulars)

Jay's cabinets are really nice to work with for assembly and getting finished. 

That still holds after building and 18 of them and getting them painted.  All came out very nice for my systems.

[YEEEEGZ]

Really looking forward to building these when the amps get back in stock.

So sick. I will never be fortunate enough to have something like this in my home, but it's nice to live vicariously through other people's pictures. Really, really, really awesome.

Thanks, but never say never . I am really enjoying them.
