Brader defcon, actually ang recommendation ni David Dicks is the one in the bottom, pero nasayo naman yun kung susundin mo, pwede ka naman mag experiment, malay natin mas maganda ang tunog. May mga list naman na provided kung anong recommendation nya sa mga materials na gagamitin. Cheers!!!

sir mon, inquire lang po sakaling palarin na magkaroon na ng AN galing kay big brother  :)

alin po mas maganda gamitin between the 2 foams? or pwede po bang gamitin both?

magkakaiba po ba ng enclosures ung 8inchers? pakipost naman sir ung measurement ng super 8.

salamat po. :)







Actually, there is a trick in making the cabinet. If am to make another cabinet designed by David, I would still go for 2.8 Mk2 for the AN Super 8 Cast Frame.  My modification will be, using 3/4" mdf on back, rear, top, bottom, side, but on the front will be 1.5" (3/4" x 2 thickness for the front to better performance).  I will also convert the port hole which is 6" to square hole that is equal to 6" port hole.

Regarding the foam, I still prefer the traditional 2" wool fiber type which you are going to put on the top, rear, side, bottom..but not on the front, ok?  But if the other foam you are using is the one designed for speaker box, you may also use that as a combination.  Let's say you use that on the rear, top and bottom. On the side, will be the 2" wool. 

I hope it helps.

Btw, most of the d.i.y use rubber foam type 2" for insulation.  but if you have doubts that the foam you are using is design for speaker box, better use the wool fiber. :)

Box enclosure:  Ask wackiedoodle to e mail you the 2.8 mk2 speaker box enclosure.  Though you may ask DAvid for that specific box enclosure once your big brother buy  the AN Super 8 CAst frame.  S.O.P that David will gonna ask which enclosure you prefer.  Also better to use a very good copper speaker wire quality for the internal wiring.


Good luck.

@tsnad:  I can recommend for the Fostex 167e,

Lyeco Double Bass Reflex design.  Proven ko na ito.  Ginamit ko sa Bose HVC ko.

Paki modify na lang ang cabinet sa nakakaintindi sa paggawa ng speaker enclosure:

Here is the link:

Good luck.

Bro itong speaker mo needs a bigger place..kaya sa garahe mo muna pwesto iyan pag dumating.  Kaso panigurado ko, magpapatay ng sound system mga neighbor mo kapag nag break in ka na.

Ayos!  Talaga gagamitin mo yan.  Kaso wag masyado todo at baka masira yan.  Break in lang dapat moderate volume.  Iyong coral mo maganda sa double bass reflex ng lyeco cabinet plan.  modifiy mo lang cabinet dimension for 6" speakers. kasi ang lyeco pang 4" - 4.5" speakers.

I won't suggest.  Kasi mataas ang sensitivity ng mga speakers na ito.  Baka sa sobrang saya sa pag sounds mapihit ang vol.control ng di sinasadyang bumigay voice coil ng speakers.  Bili ka na lang ng tripath o hanap ng Class A vintage 25 watter ng Solid State or SET tube amp.

Medyo paganda na yan.  Pagdating kasi ng 50hours medyo nagpapakitang gilas na yan hanggan sa 100 hours... pag 200 hours lalabas na halos ang 90% true SQ ng AN Super 8 Cast frame mo.  Tiis lang  muna. Ganyan talga kapag magagandang speaker medyo bibitinin ka muna sa una.

Bro iyong kay wackie..kaso di pa broken in yon sa weekend.  Pero at least may idea ka na kung ano tunog ng audio nirvana kapag di pa broken in.  You can hear the difference after.
