Love those buyout tests. Every other month I go through the buyouts and dream up a line array design.
I’m going to redo the test on the buyouts now that I have figured out The mic sensitivity. As I wait for a new mic to show up, I’ll repost them then the sensitivity should be what they’re supposed to be.
I did something like that with Easel for the x-carve. It worked well for the SB polymer frames. The most problematic driver I've tried to countersink is that 5x8 SB Acoustics Oval woofer. It has a stamped frame and the sides flare out a little, but not uniformly.
Keep an open mind, but don't let your brain fall out.
For the "racetrack" woofers I drew it manually and it worked out pretty good. Stamped frames can be a pain but cast frames are often not as round as we would like them to be eather.

Yep, it took a few test cuts to get the racetrack PR rebates dialed in before cutting the final.
I surface mounted the 5x8PR in the Purveyor, but drawing the through hole was more difficult than planned. Only after did I find the cardboard piece in the box that I could have used for it.
He thinks he has a set of 5-1/4 series 1 somewhere. Hopefully we can find and use those. I’ll have to modify the tweeters as the coils are frozen in ferrofluid.

Yeah, but 12 a side array would have an awesome dynamic presence!

The ND PR is a nice match to the Sig Series.

A small rabbit hole I fell in late this afternoon. I’m covering it up. I’m over it.

Nice try sir. Could you glue some wood blocks under those mounting tabs and make the recess a little shallower?
I like where this is headed . . .
I don’t mind the mid mount. Thinking the tweeter might need be front mounted. It has good off axis FR anyway.

Pretty nice drivers. Simple but built well.

Wavecor with a stamped steel frame? Cone looks nice.
It has a very nice rear gasket on it too . . .
If you decide to carry those, do you know what your retail price would be?

Wow - I hadn't looked at the Speakers page in a few weeks. That's a good assortment.
Been working on some flush mounting jigs.

A little loose for veneer but great for primer filler and paint.

On this one, I think I took the shape from the data sheet, used Convertieo to make the jpeg into an SVG then into V-carve.

I draw all mine out on the software. This SB is pretty simple shapes.

A friend of mine wishful thinking. Monkey coffin.
18”,8”and tweeter. The 8” is not gonna make the cut.

Man, I forgot how much I like those old Series 1 subs. Cool stuff!
Could you save the dust cap from the 8 and mount it on the mid-woofer you choose? might be a way to keep the look but not the driver.
Back in about 1989 I had a pair of RF Punch 10". They were before the Series 1. They were cheap but boy did they slam!
Hell yeah!!

How many cubes to make those 18s sing?
Haven’t got that far yet. They dats fine but I’ll run some low end sweeps on them to make sure they don’t rattle
