In wish I had a big honkin CNC router

This looks like a really trick way to build some horn loaded speakers. You can buy the kits from Hasehiro Audio in Japan. http://www.spnet.ne.jp/~hasehiro/

That is way cool!

C'mon Luther, A scroll saw, 1/4" hardboard pattern, and a pattern cutting router bit could carve those rivers for you.

Yes, but then, I wouldn't have a big honkin CNC rounter.

 

[Billfort]

Hmmm, I know somebody with a big honkin CNC router...

You can't argue with that! :lmao:

 

[Mr. Snoid]

That would be what, a $10K-$15K toy??

 

[bigphil]

... they make smaller versions too

I think I have THE perfect speakers for this design. Looks like another project.

Do you guys think a midrange/full range speaker would be good for this horn design? Excuse my noobness.

btw, I think this will help - google translation tools

Now That, my friends, is logic that is hard to argue with! :yes:

Companies making the dies for the paper packaging industry usually have Laser cutting machines to cut different thickness plywoods, as used on the dies for flat-bed diecutters.
I suppose it is possible to get one of these companies to cut the boards you supply, provided you supply a drawing as well, for a relatively small outlay.
I´m certainly going to enquire with my die supplier, even if that is only a project for the future.

Or, have them make you a steel-rule die, and start whacking out a bunch of corrugated cross-sections for the horn. Seal the cut edge on each slice, laminate them together, and....

I work at a shop with a three big honking CNC routers (one has a 4'x 10' table), two laser cutters and some other stuff. This is a job shop. If you have the geometry getting a shop to cut these for you would be no big deal. If you have some dimensions in mind I would put them into a simple CAD drawing for you. :thmbsp: You got me thinking now.

BTW - Waterjets can cut very thick stuff like 12" or more so you could make this out of one chunk if it was the right material.

Well it's a cool design, But I guess I dont understand why they didn't rout a cable channel for the speaker wires, and mount the driver 180 out from where it is. :headscrat
