Here's a little exercise where the community can participate in the development of a DIY Coaxial Wedge. I'll lay out the starting basic parameters. Through some discussion we can determine the final design criteria.
Starting Basic Design Parameters:
Intended Market:
The final product will be on my coin and the design fully tested prior to be presented to the community. Of course feel free to build your own as we move along. Any design decisions will be posted as soon as they are approved.
Things completely off the table for discussion.
Feel free to contribute with suggestions and comments but most importantly why you are making your particular choices.
I am fully aware that different folks will have vastly differing opinions and all I ask is that all discussions that are presented with this collaboration are kept civil. Please keep it down to a dull roar!
Jeff Babcock will be moderating this topic and helping with the final decisions in the selections process. I would like to add a few more folks into that process as well, perhaps a panel of 5.
Anyone interested in being on the final selection panel please PM myself of Jeff Babcock.
Feel free to start throwing out some ideas.
Have a great day people!!!
Starting Basic Design Parameters:
Intended Market:
- JR Varsity/Weekend Warrior/Bar/Club/Church/Amusement Parks or Bands Carrying Their Own Pa. etc.
- Must be of Coaxial Design 10'' model and 12'' model.
- Must be constructed of wood
- Must be capable of being built with basic power tools (table saw,drill press etc.) no CNC Router or machine work involving Lathes,Milling Machine, ETC. Basic shop tools most folks have in their garages or basements.
- Budget
- Driver and Component Choices
- System Configuration ie: Bi-amp-able/Passive/Both
- Response (freq./phase/group delay etc)
- Output (efficiency/max output/power compression etc.)
- Polar Response
- Build Material (types of wood ,screws,glue,covering etc.)
- Weight
- Pack Space and Packing Geometry
- Ergonomics
- Aesthetics
The final product will be on my coin and the design fully tested prior to be presented to the community. Of course feel free to build your own as we move along. Any design decisions will be posted as soon as they are approved.
