Quick speaker project-Morel York
« on: August 30, 2010, 11:38:10 am »
Got the driver a while back from Mervin and the x-over components from Ian. Being a quick project I didn't do any design and just built them as the plan specified                                                             ( http://www.lautsprechershop.de/pdf/morel/eltim/yok_eng.pdf
Just changed the port to a round one, as I don't like the rectangular ones.
With all parts in hand I made some Mdf boxes, sides are solid Pink Beech. I covered the the Mdf with a home made veneer, and it worked out very well.

Here I'm placing the 4mm pieces on the box ready to go into the press.


Going it to the press for 24hours at +- 5 tones.


In progress....




Laying out the x-over getting the spacing right.


Making the pc-boards the quick way.





X-over done


Boxes sealed with Woodoc30.

These are for my kitchen so I'm using the same wood as the kitchen cupboards.

Very nice Chris!

5 tons! :o

And here I was stacking up a couple of bricks, a drill press and a bag or three of tile cement :-[. Didn't in my wildest dreams think that is what it takes!

AWESOME - Chris. well done man. you will be amazed as to the amount of bass you will get from that little morel. I had several over the years in different configurations. my favorite were some I build for my mother in law with a series Xover. I used the 144 though but they are for all intense and purposed the same driver.

Ha ha no I don't know if it really takes 5 tones, but it sure works, and I can safely use the boxes for a 5 ton trestle if need arises.

These are now done, and to say they sound good it a under statement. They really blew me away.  They sound at least double their size. Just need some stands for them now.

they work well with any amplifier but matched to a very good transistor amp with fairly high damping factor is the best combination. you need lots of control to keep that massive voice in its place.

So they would work well with my Flying Moles or some Nuforce P9's(High damping factor) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
