Hi
I'm trying to build a single driver open baffle speaker using AN 12" Super Ferrite drivers. The baffle material will be 1.25 inch Steamed Beech. I'm convinced of the merits of decoupling the driver from the baffle. I was wondering if I could mount the driver on a fabricated mass loaded steel fabricated stand. The air gap between the rim of the driver and the cut out in the baffle could be closed with felt or double sided tape?Alignment can be tricky but IMO manageable.
I'm a beginner at this and would love to get design ideas to take this forward.
Thanks a ton in advance.
PS: Request you not to send your opinions on the merits or demerits of decoupling. What I specifically need are design ideas using wood and steel to achieve decoupling.
