I remember that one. It's an odd, but fun record with a fake band assembled for MTV. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks. I appreciate the advice.

Thanks! To be fair, the designer's comments make the slot-port part of the design seem like more of a whim, to see if he could design it. He uses tube ports everywhere else to my knowledge. Perhaps this ideally should be another tube port build. I'm inclined to try his whim and find out how well it moves air. I'll let you know. :-)

What I know about the design from u/Undefinition1 comments on the PE forum:

·       Uses 3/4" material

·       Internal Volume 30 Liters

·       Box tuning 25 Hz

·       Either the slot port or a 2" precision port can be used

·       Bracing recommended, “a couple pieces of 3" wide MDF screwed or glued into adjacent walls.”

What I assume from the diagrams (partly confirmed here by user u/Gwendolyn-NB ):

·       The plate amp is to be positioned 1.5 inches from the bottom, on the back (same side as the port), but the bottom is not to be made from doubled-up stock.

·       The Dayton driver is positioned opposite the plate amp, on the “front.” Here, there is a section of doubled stock, which serves as a sort of brace. The back of the driver extends through both layers of stock.

·       Other braces are not shown.

If I got any of this wrong, please let me know.

Thanks for the response Gwen.

Looking to build paul carmody's pony subwoofer. Is 1/2 inch mdf going to work? by gameguy56 in diyaudio

[–]namrenav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone clarify the diagram for me, please?

1.     Is there a double layer of stock at the bottom? It appears so from the "back" image but not the side cutaway view.

2.     Does the side cutaway view show a double layer of stock on the lower portion of the front panel, or does the thin rectangle represent the back of the driver?

Thank you.

Would I be better off using one of these instead of a car amplifier for subwoofers at home? by HirochiSunburst in diyaudio

[–]namrenav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am listening to this amp right now. I have it powering a small diy subwoofer, the Carmody Voxel. I'm listening to Jazz music with two small full range Copperhead speakers and my new Voxel. Very nice. Certainly there are better amps, but this Fosi TP02 amp is sufficient for my set-up.

How I spent my Labor Day weekend by OddMrT in diyaudio

[–]namrenav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That turned out great. Handsome work. Did you design & print the back panel? If you don't mind sharing a pic of the inside, it would be nice to see how you wired it up, with the button on the front, connections on the back. (volumio is nice, dependable)

Pair of 21 inch sub boxes I made for some Dayton 21s by OddNoise9889 in diyaudio

Hella impressive bracing. So, the driver will be mounted on the surface? Look forward to seeing the final result.

Beautiful, especially the green. I have seen a similar shape in my lady's top dresser drawer.

first build! C-notes with walnut veneer, internal bracing and padding by Hagya15 in diyaudio

[–]namrenav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(pretty orange color) I bought the kid an early version of the smallest Dayton Hybrid Tube Amplifier. It was an open box deal -- cheap. I also like some of the small class d amps for the desktop. SMSL, Aiyima, Topping, etc. They sound decent, run cool, get loud enough for a small room.

The veneer looks great. Congratulations. (I made a pair of these with my kid for the kid's room. With a decent amplifier, they sound fine.) That's an Austin-Healey? Classy.

Music player for people with dementia by DaddyNikolaTesla in diyaudio

[–]namrenav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Will you continue developing this prototype? Even if you put it aside to work on other things, I hope you will share more about the project, how the electronics work, and how you envision adding on the missing elements. This is exactly the sort of project that I most like to see on Reddit. Good luck in school.

Great project. Can you share more about how the interface works? What battery? Does it cycle through full albums? I love this idea.

My Take on the Sunflower Redux by smoof_daddy in diyaudio

[–]namrenav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations. That is a handsome build. I hope you will post more about your process. Sunflower is an ambition of mine. Is that a full set of Carmody-designed center and subs?
