It is like a powder. When I built the woofers, it was in the basement in WI, in the middle of winter. What a MESS! This project has been outside. However, I left the side garage door open and STILL the powdery dust is all over in there. UGH!

I have approximately 26 working hours into this so far. I think I am past the halfway point, but that is just a guess.

Sorry, missed this! The tee pee shape will eliminate a cabinet resonance vs a rectangular box. Flint can elaborate. Building both at once. I will mount drivers and get them going prior to finishing them (flat black paint).

Midrange Tweeter Midrange D'Appolito array. This was the preliminary design.

I worked my 40 years and deserve every second of whatever life I have left!

Started filling the Midrange Boxes to get ready for primer. Probably one more coat to go after the next sanding. Also rounded over the corners on the stands...... Lots of work!

Second time watching this one........excellent!

Ha! The C1's are fantastic, however it did take me awhile to enjoy their sound. When you go from average performing speakers to their level, there is an adjustment period for sure. I will be selling the C1's at a very fair price!

Flint is the designer. @Flint The goal was to outperform my C1's by 2X.

First Tee-Pee glued up, measurements look good!

Glued no fasteners.

Busy day! Stand #2 has been glued up. All parts for the midrange boxes (truncated Tee-Pee) are cut and routered. All fit up nicely. Should be gluing them up tomorrow.

Work continued yesterday and today. The first stand is glued up! Flint recommend that we turn the stands into a resonator trap. The rectangular opening is designed to trap 98Hz where I have a huge null at the MLP.

DOUCHE........

The weather today was good enough to router the rabets. . These are the dry fit for the speaker stands, which are the same dimensions as the woofer cabinets except for the depth..

As predicted, weather has not allowed outside work. I did glue up the baffles.

Here's the before and after:

FLINT ALL THE WAY!! I decided to make the stands the same size as my woofer cabinets. Wait, what? The MTMs aren't sitting on top of the woofers....... Due to room acoustics,, I had to move the woofers in to remove a null in the MLP. I couldn't put the C1's on them because of interference...

That's the pool equipment hut I built to keep it out of the sun.

Lots and lots of cutting today. All the parts are cut, ready for the router! We have weather rolling in over the weekend, then bitter cold. It will be a while before the next step.
