DNA Upgrade after a year
09/08/20 at 20:53:51
 
It's been a year since I posted my DNA speaker build. I've been reading about circle baffles so I made these over Labor Day.  I also upgraded to the MA paper cones a while back and I can say, these sound much better than the Pluvia in this cabinet.  I also built a single ended pentode 3 watt amp and love the sound.  Also upgrade power cable and speaker cables to cardis wire.  These are really fun to listen to.

I got the idea from Joseph Crowe's website and YouTube. His videos explain the concept better than I could ever do.  While my version does not include all the nuances of his baffles, it generally conforms to his profile.  Again YouTube has some videos of a router jig that follows a profile.  I glued up MDF and routed the profile.  The sequence is important, and I suggest the speaker rabbit be routed deeper than needed and then shimmed to be flush with the baffle.  I had to chisel the relief because mine was too shallow.

Karl, I know exactly what you mean about routing, and coming up a hair short. Somebody out there makes a giant machine that does this in a single pass, heh heh, yah a machine the size of my whole shop. I really like what I see in your effort.
