Process for fabricating of a speaker enclosure having any preselected external, shape containing internal cavities shaped with preselected enhancements for each preselected driver mounted within said external shaped enclosure

摘要

A process for the fabrication of a speaker enclosure for a set of drivers utilizing a series of templates including a base template having an external circumferential edge, corresponding to the preselected external shape of the enclosure, a preselected number of guide holes placed within said circumferential edge, a plurality of internal circumferential edges creating mounts for each driver and corresponding port. The process includes the step of calculating the volumes of cavities to enhance the sound reproduction ability of the drivers. Additional templates including the external circumferential edge and guide hole placement of the base template and further including internal circumferential edges to complete the fabrication of the cavity volume further incorporating internal supports within said cavity volumes placed whereby said supports do not inhibit the mounting of said drivers into said cavities. Assembling the layers of sheet material cut along the external and internal edges of each template into a prototype of the enclosure and testing said prototype to measure the sound reproduction capability. Adjusting selected portions of internal circumferential edges to enhance the sound reproduction ability of the drivers mounted into the enclosure to create a master set of templates. Using the master set of templates to fabricate the layers, assembling the layers in the preselected order with guide holes aligned, applying glue to at least one side of each layer, inserting reinforcing rods having threaded ends into each guide hole and installing and tightening a nut onto each threaded end of said reinforcing rods to hold the layers in the preselected external shape without deforming the layers or distorting the sound reproduction ability of the enclosure.
