The final shape has been altered to house a 5.5cm tweeter and a 13cm driver. The shape has also been spliced into 25 separate layers, and each layer split into two pieces. We are currently attempted to graph all of the pieces on a 2d plane in order to cut and assemble a scale model of the cabinet.

As we’ve finalized the plans for the final cabinet, we have positioned sections designated for the tweeter and the subwoofer speaker drivers. The final model has been divided into 3 sections and a total of 25 layers. We need to adjust the size of the tweeter because we had to order new ones for the final speaker build, however, this will not affect the design principles we have established. The model will need to be laid out of a full sheet of plywood and cut in two parts, the top layer beveled and flipped so that the bottom layer can be beveled.

The process for using the CNC machine has panned out to be more strenuous than initially thought so we are planning on making a scale 1/3 model in anticipation of assembling the full-size cabinet. Currently, I am separating the final model into 50 seaparate pieces on a 2d plane that can then be lazer cut into a smaller model. The assembly is difficult as we need to label all pieces, however, this is in preparation for the full scale one. The model will not have bevels in it, however, the 2d layout requires percise organization, as it is harder to decipher the different pieces.

Construction for the final cabinet will begin once the CNC machine is ready to be blocked off for the day, because there will be 100 total cuts made into the sheet of plywood we will use.

For our submission we will have completed the 3d renderings of the final cabinet as well as a scale model and the electronics for the final speaker. We have started arranging the electrical components necessary for the speaeker drivers. Saia has begun calculations for the inductors we will need, and the crossover for the drivers as well.
