[quote author=serenechaos link=1165629295/15#28 date=1170816722]The D130s are 0.25 qts, 0.76 X-max, light paper cones.
Should work well in horns.
About how big are they; how much bow?
Have you played around with that much yet?
Did you make the cabinets out of oak ply?
What did you stain them with?
Sure do look nice! [/quote]
To me the Xmax of the D130 is still too high at 3/4". Remember total cone travel will be double the xmax (1.5 inches!) (OOPS .76mm! WOW!)
The Audio Nirvana only 2 millimeters. But your right, the D130 is a good driver, and will probably have tons of bass.
The kerfs in the plywood have not been glued yet. The reflectors can be flexed from flat to convex to a concave shape. This is easily done and you should decide for yourself what sounds best. They are sized to the dispersion pattern of your driver.
The cabinets are pine floor sheathing ~ $20 / sheet (the same as what Steve used on the walls of his shop, and have suprisingly great sound

The finish is Minwax oil based one step gloss stain. 1st, Bombay Cherry and then Natural Cherry. A couple coats of each. Your house will stink for weeks. ;)
