The Body of Patrick

The Cabinet
The loudspeaker cabin has 4 sections.

1-Closed chamber for bandpass speakers
2-Ported chamber for bandpass speakers and battery housing
3-Closed chamber for mid-bass speakers
4-Vented (vented for cooling) chamber for electronics and high frequency drivers.

To make the cabin a little lighter, I didn't use MDF this time. I bought some quality plywood for the cabin. The front and rear faces are 18mm thick plywood. All other places I used 12mm thick plywood.

Construction
We got very lucky with construction this time. Mert F. Torgay, a close friend of mine, was working in an architectural design office which had its own workshop. We took the sketches and wood panels there and began the construction.

First of all, the panels were cut using CNC and then were assembled by Mr. Orhan, an enthusiastic and very skilled carpenter.




When it was over, we put the cabin under torture and waited for a day (those grips are called "torture" in Turkish).
