Discussion about "D" -single 12 enclosure-

[burnsqc]

Alright, feel free to shame me for reviving a dormant post (dead seems too harsh). If this would be better posted elsewhere, please do let me know so I can correct this.

In my research about 1x12's, I've read this thread probably about a dozen times. There are a couple of things that just don't quite add up in my head regarding the dimensions, but we can surely chalk that up to my inexperience. I really want to understand, and it's almost laughable because what's so hard to understand about a box?

I drew up some new plans that are to scale, and if I've understood anything from this thread then hopefully they are at least accurate.

I'd just like to disclaim that I am no expert, I have not seen the original plans, all the info in these diagrams comes from this thread, and last but not least I am not attempting to override any previous plans/posts. I'm just hoping to augment the existing info and try to give something back to this forum after all the info I've gleaned.

If anything is incorrect or misleading in my plans, please let me know so that I can correct them. There's many things I'd like to add to these plans, such as location for the stereo jack, radius of rounded corners, screw locations, and maybe some info regarding tolex/piping. I presume none of these are covered in the original plans, so if these were to be included based on other original 1x12s I will be very clear that they are not called out in the original plans.

It's usually better to create a new thread, and post your detail like you've got here, and link to older threads. That way it creates a new discussion topic that's separate but linked.

That being said, it's not the end of the world to do it here.

There seems to be enough people discussing this in other areas as well, it would be great to get a solid document with really specific figures so others can reproduce them more easily.

I have not verified your drawings, but upon cursory inspection, they look reasonable. I drew those plans, verbatim, based on hand drawings by HAD Himself, as supplied by Skyboltone. I did not include any information other than what was directly supplied, so it is a direct copy with no liberties taken on anything (so as to preserve originality). Each page in the PDF was a hand drawn page, even down to the little Morse Code looking doodle on the last page.

I hope that offers some perspective.

additionally I've moved this topic from the 'files' section to the 'discussion' section.

Sounds like Colossal has done a great job of making the drawings as precise as possible.

thanks!

Thanks, I'll be more observant with that in the future. Sorry for the hassle!

Yup, I did the exact same thing with my drawings (so far as I can tell), but I also tried to make them to scale and add extra details regarding dimensions that I was having a hard time wrapping my head around. I'm still a little confused by the cut sheet. The diagrams indicate the braces to be of one set of dimensions, but the cut sheet calls out another. Also, there's the question of the recess for the back panel. Skyboltone states 3/4" recess, and your plans state 1/2" recess. I think 1/2" makes more sense, but is that discrepancy resolved fully? I also noticed you have the phono jack included on the back, but no dimensions indicating diameter or placement. These are all just respectful questions I have floating around in my head.

It goes without saying that your diagrams stand as a monumental leap towards accessibility for all of us. I can't thank you enough.

I wish I could, but I can't really answer your questions, and they are certainly legit. I was very careful to copy everything just as it was written, even trying to keep the look and feel of the drawings true. This was more for just getting HAD's work documented without entering the original documents into the public domain (that was the deal). The originals were on graph paper, as I recall.
