I will allow it to run for a while and after the break in period, if I find it worth building a Back loaded horn, I will give a try. Vocals are good in some songs and bad in others.īasically, the initial observation is that the highs are good, and instruments are good.īut certainly unsuitable for bollywood kind of music. The acoustic guitar & veena kind of instruments are crystal clear and nice. Well its too early to judge, since the driver needs some break in time, and the enclosure itself is not the right design for it. However the box turned out better than I expected, and I installed the drivers.

Had to roam around too many shops and places to get basic connectors like speaker spade connectors, etc etc. This is not the best approach anyway, and in my next build I will take a different route. I used the aluminum angles for positioning, and tied the whole box with a strong packing wire as hard as i can.

So they are not holding the mdf pieces in perfect position.Īfter trying many ideas, i added a few layers of carpenter tape at the corner, and made them match to 90 degree.Īnother thing is, I made the front baffle lying on the floor, and positioned the sides, and the top and bottom, and glued them all at once. They are 89 degree, and slightly bent inwards. Sad thing i realized later is that they are not 90 degree either. So I bought an aluminum angle and cut it into 4 pieces, and used them for positioning. I had a lot of difficulty in placing the parts perfectly at 90 degree to one another.Īnd I couldn't buy any barclamps or F clamps in time. I found it to be pretty strong with glue alone!!

I didn't use any fasteners, and finished with only glue. Its like a hit and miss chance i took, and something like a practice for me to build enclosures. Since that is time taking and laborious, I went ahead and made a bass reflex. It is more suitable for back loaded horn type of enclosure. I know that Bass reflex is "not" recommended for Fostex FE166En.
