Hi Troels,
In around the middle of 2016 i think it was, i first downloaded your
beautiful design for the Acapella Next speakers. You sent me a few
emails responding to some very amateur questions about the crossovers,
cable size ect. as this was my 1st go at making speakers. when i
had questions about the build, you answered them very politely and they
were very helpful.
After all this time due to lack of funds and my dad (who helped me with
them) finding time to do it, i completed them about a week ago.
I am so happy with the outcome! (with a couple of minor changes to the
exterior of the cabinets that my dad thought would be best,although i
was hesitant to stray from your design( hes a carpenter and fitter and
joiner by trade) )
-For the build i used:
*25mm MDF,
*All specified crossover parts (with the exception- of the 3 x 22uf
capacitor setup in mid c/o i used the brand and size of the ones in your
photos.)
*Specified drivers ( specified tweeter was not available anywhere but
you advised that the Seas excel t29cf002 would be just fine )
*American oak veneer with Satan varnish
**(The only difference to the design was that we made terminal
blocks for the back out of MDF painted black, rather then cutting into
the cabinet and some covers for the back made out of 6mm MDF, painted
black and covered in speaker cloth.)
I thought id send you some pictures. You probably get this kind of stuff
all the time, but i thought id let you know that it means a lot building
them with my father and having those memory's all thanks to you! :)
Cheers
Steve Robilliard
