Hi, just want a quick poll sorta thing. I'm deciding what to veneer my midrange horns with. I have a choice of Jarrah veneer, Tasmanian Oak veneer, and Pine veneer. The tower cabinets are veneered in tasmanian oak, and the HF horn is obviously black (JBL 2370) and woofer cone grey/black colour being a JBL 2225. I cant decide what colour veneer would look best on the small midrange horn, or maybe I should just do it black. The horn is plain right now: Any suggestions appreciated!
There's a guy who used to post all kinds of pictures of furniture he built with Jarrah at alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking. I don't remember if he's from Oz or NZ, but it was some of the most beautiful stuff I ever saw.
Nah, been lazy on the finishing but wanna do it now. Its just the finishing I have to do otherwise theyve been done for awhile now.
The pre-veneered MDF here can only be got in either 13mm thick or 19mm thickness. Would you say 13mm MDF is thick enough, or should I go 19mm thick in case mouth resonances are gonna be a problem for this 300hz horn? (29cm long, something like 1088cm^2 mouth area I think).
The horn in the picture uses 16mm plain MDF, cant get the veneered MDF in 16mm though just 13mm and 19mm.
I dont like putting on veneer, just building the horns again from pre-veneered MDF is the easiest for me.
The 13mm is plenty. For very large horns in the bass range the 19mm would be a better choice. Even then, 13mm is still plenty when you start bracing the structure. Sometimes making joints in the thicker materials can be easier. The thinner material would be just fine.
