If you can build IKEA furniture, these will be a breeze. H Frame Flat Packs

Will have to check as the rated DCR is 14 ohms. That would mean the minimum is around 3.5 ohms.

Will be taking them out of the other speaker soon, so will check them with my DMM.

You guys can run three of the SW-12-16FR woofers on one amp. Using the HX800 amp you can run six of them.

Bummer, I was going to start out with 4 per side on the A370PEQ. Oh well, will get the three per side going first.

One more pair of the 12" OB servo subs from Danny will be here tomorrow to install in the 1x12" modules. That will make the six to do the 1/2 stack sub tower.

Picture of the six modules built so far from the flat packs:

Hi HAL,
I prefer the look of the one on the right side,
but that's me
and it does not mean that the one on the left side
is not nice looking.
I'm still riveted to my computer's screen to see you next move.

Guy13,
The total look is all six stacked.

Ruben will make the top and bottom differently if preferred. This was something that we talked about with the base and top just for my pair.

Two more woofers are getting here tomorrow. Will keep building modules today and hopefully be finished by Friday. Then load up six woofers into the towers.

The Monolith of Subs!

LOL, it looks impressive in the pic, can't imagine how it looks in person.
Don't have too many drinks around those.... could get a little tippy

Should not be when they are fully bolted together. There is a lot of mass just in the MDF. Wide base as well for stability.

Once the woofers go in at ~20lbs each, add another 120lbs. Probably around 200lbs per side total.

My dual ob sub weighs around 87 pounds so that times 3 = 261!

HAL · « **Reply #190 on:** 16 Apr 2015, 01:17 pm »

Even better!

gregfisk · « **Reply #191 on:** 16 Apr 2015, 04:34 pm »

Monolith is a perfect name for these, man would I love to here them.

Can't wait to see them finished with all 6 subs installed, way cool for sure

So the other tower for the ribbons will be a bit shorter, thinner and stand next to these?

HAL · « **Reply #192 on:** 16 Apr 2015, 04:49 pm »

The line array idea is 87" tall. Will be the offset angle "L" style baffle. About 10" wide and 10" deep.

The line array will be in front with the sub array to the side and behind.

Baffles are being built and finished. I can adjust the spacing of the front as needed to try different drivers until a choice is made.

Three more done. Only three more to glue up!

Thanks for the continual updates Rich. These should sound incredible when finished!

HAL · « **Reply #194 on:** 16 Apr 2015, 05:48 pm »

Thanks! Guess I am learning how to blog!

Another module glued and drying. Two more to go.

HAL · « **Reply #195 on:** 17 Apr 2015, 02:23 am »

One module left to glue tomorrow. Then start installing the 12" OB servo sub drivers.

Hi HAL,
yours project and the one of the daughter of Bob in St-Louis
are both captivating and I follow them daily and even more often....
Take you time, even if you are anxious to get it done,
because I enjoy every minute/step of your project.

Guy13,
Glad you are enjoying the pictures.

The first picture for today. Gluing completed. Waiting for the last module to dry and then start installing the 12" servo drivers.

Guy 13 · « **Reply #198 on:** 17 Apr 2015, 12:00 pm »

Hi HAL,
I hope the gluing is not too messy,
because look as if you are doing it in the living room.
Did you needed wife approval to temporarely transform the living room
into a workshop ?

Guy13,
That is my mom's old apartment that is attached to our house. It was her living room. When friends come to visit they stay there now. All one level so easy to get around.

Time to start moving it all to the listening room downstairs for driver installation.
