Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?

It's 1:15 in the morning, and my mind is racing....

So after having a lovely Easter with friends and family, I got home watched some
F1 racing (the only sport I love) and man was it a good race.

So I decided against using veneer as a finish option, not that it's hard but I think I want 
something hyper modern, something that pulls the eye towards the speaker.
So automotive paint it will be, color is still up in the air, but blue, orange or......
You get the Idea, it's got to look super 😎 (cool).

Tomorrow it's router day, the openings for the passive radiators. I will counter sink the units
3/4"  with a bevel making the unit less proud.
Im also looking towards buying a new amp as I'm doing an electronic crossover I will need
six Channels of amplification. Got the amp for the Walsh units and the rear facing tweeters. I I also need one for the front tweeters. I want something killer so I've been looking at a
Firstwatt F6 stereo amp. Low power but I'll barely need any for the tweeter unit.

Anyway talk soon.....🇸🇪

Happy Saturday to all....

So the next next milestone was reach late this afternoon.
After a day filled with MDF and expletives, I finally got to what you see in the image....
The shape is spot on what I was looking for, and I wanted the Walsh driver to sit flush (ish) with the top surface of the cabinet so you can't see all the bolts. I am still thinking about welding up a metal fence contraption with some Damascus steel unless I change my mind.
As you can see I started the holes for the passive woofer but realized that a router bit can only plunge that deep. I tried my trusty jigsaw, but that didn't reach deep enough so I got to get a sawsall in the morning. Yes the sidewall is over 3" deep
at most points,  so a longer blade will solve that problem.

Next week I'm starting the housing and standoff for the ribbon tweeter. I'm thinking CNC machined aluminum, CF and some hi tech looking bolts to allow the housing to move in any axis. And I might change my my mind on that one too. But I promise it will look killer when I'm done...

Another good day, and more to come.....🇸🇪

Damn changes...

Sorry for the absence, but I made some changes and with that I ran in to the proverbial MDF wall. As the first unit is the pattern for the second one, things get fluid and before you know it something will
throw everything of kilter..Damn
Left the shop this evening feeling a little better and I most likely managed to save the bacon.
The passive radiators look great with the dark grey anodizing finish.
 I'm excited as the units are tunable for how tight or loose you want sound to be, cool stuff.
No images today, but we are getting closer to test fitting of all the big drivers and with that take measurements for the tweeter bridge
which I think will be the piece de resistance..... ;)

Soon..........🇸🇪

It's warm.....

Living in California is da bomb, weather is perfect, skies are blue, and the political climate
is pretty agreeable (for me at least). But it's hot, it's not even summer and we're already bouncing in to the low 90's, making shop work a proposition of perspiration and heat exhaustion. Not complaining as I do love my life here in Cali, but I do miss some cooler days.

As you read in my previous post the project is a (free flow) expression of my ideas, hopes and wild mind. I do love the creative part of my self, but sometimes I don't know when to stop. And that's what happened here, it looked great, but I decided to change a few angles
here and there, to enhance the look of the cabinet.....BOOM

Suddenly I realized that I fu@#d up.......by adding one to many angles I made the mounting area a tad to small for the Walsh driver.

After walking aimlessly around Home Depot last night with the hope I would find a tool that would solve my problems.......... (did not happened).
 I went back to the shop and solved the problem just like that. So I should have a perfect solution done by tomorrow I hope.

There's no problems, just solutions...........🇸🇪

Speaking of Cali and bombs .......................
