Sweet, thanks!

I’m looking forward to hearing them at HAL’s next month.

jello speaker seekers. Does anyone know if the version with triple 165's powered version is in design stage of ready for rollout ? Danny, I sent you a pm. This speaker seems a mini S7 of sorts. Love the servo bass, but totally not needed at my age unless I won the lotto. Budget, size , weight all factor in. Thanks for the mini.

No 3 M165 version , sending Danny a side loaded 4 M165 base soon. There are pics earlier in thread .
More super Mini baffles / kits this week

hi Jay. Thanks ,, and I forgot the V design you crafted ,, you have 4, 165's OB each side ? Is that right ? And Danny is thinking of adding an amp each side ? This sounds fab.... Be in Kelowna next month.

yes, 4 per channel and they will be active , think Danny has some ideas for an amp for each channel.
Let me know when you're in town, maybe you can pop by for a listen if you like

Even raw, those look very nice.

Looks really good Jay!

Packing these up today to get down to Danny so took some pics when I fitting up the 2nd cabinet.

As with most of our other kits, bases have contersunk screws in bottom to eliminate the need for really long clamps and dowels on the top side to position the wings and make assembly very easy.Bases were left quite simple but there is room for the builder to be creative if one desired and still use the existing dowel/screw layout.. Or, we can add a roundover to the existing base as I did in this case

Now the side panels can be perectly located onthe base via the insstalled dowels. Each panel has the two driver cutouts with 3/8" roundover on rear side, pre-drilled mounting screw holes, the 4 dados for the braceing as well as a top rebbet for the top of the cabinet.

Next comes the baffle. the rear side has 4 dados and the upper rabbet to match the side panels. There are also the 2 verticle 10 degree rabbets to mate up with the front edge of the side panels. Front side has the 2 verticle .5" rouindovers

Time for some braces. Each cabinet will have four of these.All the inner edges have been rounded over to help prevent defraction

The wrap around bracing leaves lots of room fo the M165 drivers.

Finaly we have the inset cabinet top which glues into the rabbets cut at top of side panels and baffle.

Each pair of cabinets is mirrored so either woofers 1&3 or 2&4 can be placed to the center to keep things symetrical.

They look great Jay!

How do they sound? It looks almost like it's "semi-OB", instead of full on OB. Do they still interact with the room the same way the H-Frame OB does?

Hi Jay: (maybe Danny and others would chime in also)
You've done amazing work on this flat pack!
What are it's advantages over a similar design using 3 M165's side mounted? (2 one side & 1 on the other)
What are the advantages over front mounting 3-4 M165's in the same winged design?
I realize the front baffle would be wider and that wouldn't fit the profile of the Super Mini.
I'm assuming these are the M165-16 version.
Also curious as to the amplifier used.
Thanks for any and all responses.

The low wavelengths that they cover make it actually about the same as being front firing in the same wedge.

Danny Richie · « **Reply #134 on:** 3 Sep 2019, 08:00 pm »

Four drivers offer a little more output capability and one more driver sharing the load.

The series parallel grouping also brings it back to an 8 ohm load.

The side mounting isn't much of an issue because of the lower ranges that these are restricted to. So the output should be about the same as if they were front mounted. And the front to back wave cancellation should be about the same.

Any decent plat amp could be used. I am also looking into having some made that will offer some good flexibility.

Will be teh M165 08's in series / parallel setup as Danny stated ( 2 series pairs, each pair wired to the other in parallel)

Hi Danny just curious if there will be any updates on new M165 cabinet and listening this week?? Thanks!

Captainhemo · « **Reply #137 on:** 11 Sep 2019, 04:35 pm »

Won't be this week, I haven['t sent the cabinets yet

they are boxed and ready to go, I just have been a little side tracked
Will try and get the labels done today and have them picked up tomorrow

Yes, how do they sound? And how low do they go? And what is the projected or ballpark price with drivers and a suitable plate amp?

Very impressive work. Jay is a true craftsman.
