Super helpful, thank you!
I will build my own cabinets, 3/4 inch Birch plywood with Oak Baffles (3/4 inch Oak-faced) with left-over lumber. I have the lumber to build them the approximate dimensions of the PE Trapezoid, minus the Trapezoid. So the appx. dimensions will be 24 X 17 X 13 (H X W X D).
Are you a Sketchup user? I bet there are more people than just you and I looking for a good plan for Ewave cabs. Good luck with your project! We look forward to seeing them (I think it is OK to speak for us AKers).
Hi Steve,
Over a year ago GordonW worked up a costing of the eWave standard HERE in THIS POST!
This will give you an idea of what you'll need to budget.
PS; I did a WinISD workup of the DC300 in a 2.3cu' cabinet tuned to 30hz. It looked fine & very workable with a 3db down point below 35hz ( so that's good ).
Two, 2" i.d. ports, 6.75" long will give you an @ 29hz tuning.
A 3.0 - 3.5cu' cabinet ( if manageable ) will offer greater flexibility for future tunings or other projects.
Thanks so much for the vote of confidence. I feel I'm stumbling a bit through the software, but I'm getting there! Time to break out the saw and router!Sure, 2.8cu' tuned to 30hz looks good.
I get the same thing and the curve ( + 3db down point looks the same ).
Thank you for that confirmation as well Chris! And thank you for the boards. I reviewed the parts list to confirm I had it all. I realized I only ordered two ports instead of four so I corrected that and ordered a handful of other supplies from PE this morning. Hopefully, all will arrive simultaneously and I can get crackin'. I made some progress on the cabinets today and hope to be test-fitting Saturday evening!Steve--those are definitely the proper components for your DC300-based build as opposed to Jack's early iteration of the <95db/w Econowave Standard Parts List that I linked above. You're good to go! Big thanks to Earl and Gordon.
Looking forward to the pictures.I'm now using a donor cabinets from an Optimus Mach Three (see above) for my Econowave standard with the DC300.
