Blackmore V2.. new thread

Hebrew Hammer · « **on:** 26 Jul 2010, 09:50 pm »

OK... first off.. sorry that the first thread took a nose dive..

The bottom line is, if you don't agree with it great.. please ignore and move on..

This is to take this design which has been tested and sounds better then I can imagine..

The next step was to take this client specific piece and turn it into something that is a solution for all..

Incorporating a pair of midbass/bass drivers was needed to get extension down..

so here was the drawing..

and here are the color choices and inlay material for this particular pair..

And the drivers..

Silver vc 15ohm Lowther PM6A

And Dynaudio MW172's

And after 2- 3/4 sheets and 4 - 1/2 sheets of MDF and a few hours of cutting I have one well on it's way and all the pieces are rough cut for the other loudspeaker and waiting for their date with the router tomorrow

Definitely a party at my house when they're done. As you get closer to finishing them, give me a call about how we're going to power the v2. I'm looking forward to it.

Hey the Hebrew Hammer,
Did I recall you mentioning you do not have a CNC and do all this by hand (router)

If that's the case, you get a big KUDOS.... and at the same time, you need a CNC.

Looking good....what are you estimating as a weight per speaker?

Hey Bill!!!!

Everything made... I mean everything is done by hand...

I'll get weight in a few days for you

Hebrew Hammer · « **Reply #15 on:** 28 Jul 2010, 02:42 am »

OK... not allot finished today... just way to damn hot and humid.. plus I'm waiting on some more 2way tape...

baffles are cut-routed-and glued in place.. and I ran some fiberglass paste over a few areas.. all that is left on these guys is to do the inserts and then off to body work :p

P.S.... yeah the pics are taken in my kid's play room :p

A decent day today in the ole shop..

both insert jigs were made and fit nicely.. the 5 main middle layers of the second loudspeaker were routed and glued together... but now I am waiting on some more 2way tape to finish the second one.. more will be in Tuesday..

The baffle is glued in place and cured along with the nutserts.. and some minor fiberglassing was done.. a light skim coat and this baby is ready for some slicksand

Hebrew Hammer · « **Reply #17 on:** 1 Aug 2010, 02:37 am »

Got the other one routed today along with the top inserts... I am changing the paint color along with doing some suede and veneer..

Hebrew Hammer · « **Reply #18 on:** 6 Aug 2010, 04:08 am »

got my Cardas in.. ran the wire to the Lowther and flushed in the binding posts

Hebrew Hammer · « **Reply #19 on:** 7 Aug 2010, 04:35 am »

Already for a slicksand "high build primer" session on sunday after the Blackmore photo shoot. The suede will arrive Monday and I'll be able to wrap the inserts.. then off to paint shortly after that
