Baffle faceplates?

Do you think there would be any interest in these if they were mass produced? I got side tracked last night. Not this particular one but ones for popular drivers.

Ld22? The baffle looks pretty sick dude. How tricky was that too design in aspire/vcarve? I have a baffle job with a rounded facet that I will need to start working on.

Dave Pellegrene tried to make a go of selling wave guides and combo baffles.

The tweeter is a Peerless OX20 and woofer a silver flute. Michael the baffle took about 1.5 hrs the cut 3 pcs. I used a end mill stepped very close so when it was done a little 80 grit knocked the edge off easy. Thanks John I wasn’t aware anybody has try it, just a thought.

I think It is pretty much all about price.

IME your main market might be mainly DIY guys... and we are pretty much a bunch of cheap bastards.

Ouch, 1.5 hours per baffle = alot of money per. I can usually knock out a set of cabinets in that timeframe depending on the size.

Each baffle would not be cnc’ed. One baffle One mold. Thinking injected polymer with a 50% popular wood mixture.

You are going to mold one baffle at a time?

You need to find a manufacturer that could benefit mass produced baffles. It would be a losing proposition on multiple ( custom ) baffles. They are super sexy.
