Version 1.0.0.1 of the Frankenphantom is up and running!
The news are:
2mm gaskets
It sure looks a lot better. No British panel gap anymore.
I also reversed the woofers to their original placement. In v1 I accidentally swapped left and right woofer, and I faintly remembered from another project that the some drivers doesn't like to be turned upside down after some years in one position.
All back to normal.
How does it sound?
The newly dented woofer doesn't sound like a grinder anymore. That's a relief. The broken woofer mount snapped again after I glued it a second time, making an air leak between the chassis and the woofer. The 2mm gaskets are too thin, making the Frankenphantom into a nice little wind machine when cranking up the volume. So there will definitely be a Frankenphantom V1.0.0.2. Stay tuned!
