Stunning work, Sadik. Well done!

Very good work and congrats.

Last year I was in thought of making stand mount speakers with Polk db651 and dropped the idea as I wasn't sure about the box dimensions.still I have the MDF sheets with me. May be this summer I may give a try.
You motivated me to think about them again.
However, please guide me to get the enclosure dimensions for these Polk db651 car speakers.

They are descent for my car I feel.

Hi Sadik,

Please no critique at all, but to have some mentioning / question to this great looking project Why did you used chassis such as these??? But not without all these holes which shows them obviously as automotive speakers.
There are so mammy good to great chassis around which do have 8, 4 etc. holes & if not should you not consider using a gasket or colouring these white holes???
I just had another look at it and you do have them mounted into the front panel so why not colour that & only that area black as that would not even be noticed as it is just behind the speakers.

In any case great job hope they will give you a lot of pleasure in time to come!

By the way:
To test your new set up once run in use some decent music to find out how well they will perform so my honest suggestion would be close to home! Please be careful as this can also damage your speakers if not careful as decend 'Indian Classical' can be very mean.
Indian Classical music with its enormous heights of string Instruments like Shanei, Sitar etc. and female voices as well & bellowing lows from a Tabla is simple something which Western music has mainly clearly missing, and if you wanted to go a bit more sappy but still a good use for testing it well try maybe the last CD from Anuska Shankar which is a mix of both worlds and very well done.

Hi Sree0320,

You need to have speaker parameters to design the box properly. I measured the parameters of of my Speakers using an instrument. After measuring the parameters only i went ahead to make these enclosures.

Without the parameters i think it will be very difficult to make an Proper Enclosure for them. Refer the below image for Speaker parameters.

If you can get the speaker parameters as seen in above image then I can help you out to built a proper enclosure.

Sadik Bhatkar

Hi Uppercut,
Yes they are Car Speakers, And you are right i should have used a black gaskets so that the background White color would have remain hidden.

Later i will use the gasket, I am also thinking to cover the speakers with a Grill & Cloth to cover those speakers.

Yeah! I am tired of searching those in detail.
For some time I had them placed on pot.This is how in my garage we used to have a stereo set at my child hood.But after being into these audiophile gears for many years, these are not even nearer to satisfactory. So, they were packed again.

Any cost effective way to measure/get these driver details?

Hi there,

Why not try Vinyl a little bit thicker not to thin would make the difference as it looks so very good. Is easy to use as well, but when you do anything like that I would like to recomend to use a soft layer beneath it as that gets it very classy then - touch soft & looks like a million dollars!!!

Hi Friends,

Today I took some measurements of my Enclosures. Below are the Graphs. Technically i do not understand these graphs in detailed, but by looking at them and comparing the same with the graph of my Design Enclosure i think they match pretty well.

Hi Friends,

A little more update, Yesterday i finished the Grill part of my floor standers, hope you all will like and enjoy my work.

The grills are routed on CNC Machine from 12 mm thick mdf, Grill guides were purchased from "THEAUDIOCRAFTS" C15 PegLock Type Grill Fastener 8 Pairs I had the grill cloth in STOCK.

Performance from these Enclosures was never an issue, now they have got even the best looks.

Regards,
Sadik

Fully agree !!

Great work Sadik ..... Keep it up

 

[Kannan]

Great work Sadik, one small suggestion, it looks like you have used some heavy plastic bush under the stands.
I suggest you go for heavy rubber bush for better isolation or spikes if you are using a carpet.
It will bring definite improvement to the lows.

I will try my hands on Rubber Bushes

Very nice work there, congratulations

 

[SAMUEL]

Wooow. Outstanding job sadik. :clapping:
It just needs some nice set of spikes...
The depth of the speaker & bass ports reminds me of klipsch RF series
Congrats just awesome.
