Open Baffle Planar servo sub speaker project

[HAL]

Went to Lowes and purchased an adjustable pipe cutter. Marked the stabilizer length for keeping the baffle vertical and cut off the excess pipe. Very easy to do after seeing a plumber do it awhile back with that style tool. The pipes, shot and tools cost about $85, so less than $43/stabilizer. Could have used a 1"x2"x8' piece of oak, but I like this look better.

Next add the lead shot to the pipe, seal and flatten the other end for mounting hole drilling.

In on consideration of the distance from planer and listening seat. I would make the angle adjustable from vertical to leaning forward toward the listener 1, 2 or 3 degrees.
I tried this with my maggies and it made a world of difference in the imaging. I am fairly close to my maggies just 8 feet

[HAL]

No angle needed with the beamformer. It is focused at the listening position at ear height.

[HAL]

Both pipes are now loaded with lead shot for counterweight.

Next is to seal the ends, bend the angles and drill the mounting holes.

[HAL]

Added the lead shot to the stabilizers today and closed the opposite end. The shot is now captive in the copper pipe.

Next is to bend the angles, drill the mounting holes and attach to the baffle.

Baffles completed and standing.

Next to wire up the Neo10 drivers and see how they measure.

Speaker cables labeled and installation has started. Should be running today.

Then some measurements and crossover adjustments before Room EQ.

[Guy]

Good goin'! You're really moving along with this project!

[HAL]

Yes. The wiring of the planars is complete.

Next to check the wiring and then connect to the amp modules. Then try to not let any magic smoke out.
