Open Baffle help needed!

[Poultrygeist]

Pioneerhip,

If you placed a same sized board across the top of the back wings you'd have what some refer to as a U-baffle. Don't know how it would sound but it might be fun to try at some point. Experimenting with OB's is just an added benefit of going over to the dark side.

Thanks for the tip and the link. I wonder how "sealed" or "secure" that lid needs to be. Could I cut a piece of wood and tape it to the sides to get an idea before adding a permanent top?

You could just cut a piece of cardboard and tape it on.

Sure. You can even make test baffles out of cardboard or poster board.

Last pieces of the build showed up today. I think these are going to mount either between the F15 and W15 right to the baffle or on the bottom panel behind the W15. I'm open to why 1 place over the other would be better.

Between the two drivers ( shorter run ) and to one side or the other means you won't have speaker wire draped over the W-15.

I’m new here and waiting anxiously to see the final results. I have a very small 12.5’ x 13’ room that I can’t decide on Fast8 or F15’s with subs.

I'd like to say I have them finished but I'd be lying. I started focusing my attention on an amp to drive the F15s. I have one that should be here next week. If it's a fit I'll move on to staining etc. I will say this , I haven't hooked my Omegas up since I brought these into my music room.

What were your final baffle dimensions? I may have overlooked it earlier.

Anyone using a baffle step? Recently had these sent to me for mine. I have my amp warming up to see what they do/offer.

 

[MrEd]

I did that with my Lowther open baffle project and liked the results.

I recall when I was on the search for my 300b amp and looking at youtube videos for ideas. I came across the Decware amp and noted a BSC attached to the amp. See pic below. Looks like Steve uses them on his Lii Audio Zen Masters at least.

Here's the new version Gizmo2 | DECWARE

I won't be getting one at $1,000+ (after tax).

Finally finished the baffles. They aren’t perfect but not bad for my 1st set of open baffles. I did every bit of the work myself and it is an amazing feeling of accomplishment. I doubt Louis over at Omega is looking to recruit me but I’ll put my application in just in case 😂

Are they making music yet?
