RE: New sub cab builds

This is a hobby for me.

This is the first time I have tried doing a stave and spline build. 10 x 9 degrees makes a semi-circle, 20 x 9 degrees makes a full circle.

The sub is a variation on a Ripole design with forwards and backwards facing U shaped wells.

The front well has a restriction which lowers FS, flattens response curve and increases velocity (higher output) over back well at the expense of reducing high frequency extension.

Splines are cross-grain to the slots for strength and alignment.

I used a combination of router jigs and a flush cut table saw fence to round the semi-circles. Rounding on the TS is sometimes frowned upon.

This project is giving me a chance to experiment with new fabricating methods and jigs.
