Convert Your 2-way to a MONSTER 3-way With the New CSS Slim Line Bass Module
Просмотров 21 тыс.3 месяца назад
The original CSS Bass Module is great. It turns a 2-way speaker into a 3-way speaker, extends bass response down to 25Hz, reduces midrange distortion, yada, yada, yada - but is it too clunky? In this video we explore a new, smaller cabinet design that better complements the matching bookshelf speaker but retains almost all of the benefits.

    This is an amazing video. This is my first time here, but I've already hit that sub, especially if you're going to do more build videos like this. I have a few thoughts that you can take or leave as you like. I have found, block planes are good, but if you take the time to learn to set and use a Japanese pull plane you will be very happy with the added precision you get. I have not worked with veneer, but my understanding is precision is key when doing so. Copper and brass always look good but can be expensive. It's possible to anodize aluminum to look exactly like copper or brass. Once you are setup to do that it's a lot cheaper and it's easy to cast your own aluminum parts. Part of the anodizing is sealing the material so you don't have spray them with an anti-oxidation sealant. On top of that it looks like you are already using anodized plates for the posts plate and then laser etching the logo and text. You could make those in the copper anodizing, then laser etch, then anodize the etched part in black. IMO that would add even more to the look. Again, this is my first visit so this may be answered elsewhere, but what software do you use for your cabinet modeling. I was looking around hoping to find a plugin for FreeCAD that would do acoustic modeling of speaker cabinets but it looks like the only real options are over-priced stand-alone applications that only run on Windows.

    Love the work. But. With all that work on the cabinets you "cheap out" on the drivers? Why not go all the way and get something more in "accordance" with the cabinet built itself? Some scan speak, morel, dynaudio stuff? They would make the build even more "special". And the sound quality should most probably also change for the better. Those what appear to be dual cone drivers look a bit "lacking". Anyway. Great build. Thanks for sharing.

      If you don't have experience building a speaker in the past, it is a steep learning curve. Not only from a woodworking perspective, but you also have to learn how to design crossovers and measure. If you've never done this before, you're definitely better off buying an finished speaker or an established kit.

    Not sure about your hourly rate, but factoring the hours as well I'm sure a completed version is still a $20.000 speaker! Which nets you a 33% discount from retail and that makes sense from a commercial standpoint as you would not pay manufacturer and dealer markup as a consumer. Warranty may not be too much of an issue as the live components have their 'own' warranty. The crossover however will be the gold-silver medal award. If you match it or improve upon the original you are set for victory.

    These speakers certainly look very expensive. The copper is a nice touch! Though as a fellow speaker designer I would have gone a different route if I wanted to go all out on the sonic performance.

      I’m a big fan of being able to move my speakers and not dealing with the complexity of active setups. This just requires 1 stereo amp rather than 3. But if you are into active, that’s cool too!

    Beautiful work. I've always felt speakers need to be 6-8 ft tall for proper sound stage. Get an overhead power extension to get the tool cords up and out of your way while you're working.
