Getting exciting!

Some parts have now arrived, with more on the way - hurray!

Woofer and Full Range Drivers
View of open spider and voice coil




















They look pretty cool - I especially like the aluminium cone of the woofer. The "open spider" is a bit weird, reminds me of old-time loudspeaker units, usually dusty and forgotten in mysterious corner cabinets! The white plugs are just nylon spacers to stop the cones being damaged in transit.

2x3m of drain pipe!! And some MDF...
Pipe ends - pretty thick!
Pipe stock did the business - ordered Friday, delivered Monday, service only outdone by Falcon Acoustics (ordered Friday, delivered Saturday!). This looks like a lot of pipe - I'm using less than 50% of it in fact, so if anyone needs any high pressure PVC fat pipe, like for making a spud gun or something, feel free to get in touch. Some will be used experimentally for paint and finishing tests of course.

Hopefully the MDM-4 wadding, stainless steel bolts (ooh, I love those!!), cabling and connectors will be delivered tomorrow!
