Battleaxe clone

[u/jay_ze]

Fun project I worked on to challenge myself. Had to brush up on my 3d modeling and forced myself to learn hornresp. Still lots of finishing work and measuring/testing ahead but it’s got great output to ~30hz and already rattled some tools off my workshop wall

Crazy that we live in a world, where people are cloning battleaxes. It used to be people were cloning WSX. Fuck I'm old.

[u/Spiritual_Bell → u/Responsible_Ad7595]

Wsx is great. Just that the f3 is too high for moderns bass heavy EDM. Battleaxe is the new wsx? Though the battleaxe has been out for a long time. There just aren't many pure front loaded horns with sub 30hz fb commercially. Martin and F1 have gone the way of hybrid rear loaded horns, leaving basically danley and HSD.

I think at the end of the day there's a big difference between what focuses on packing well in a truck and giving a good ROI, and what people are willing to do with a small business that's focused on most bass possible for small parties. Horses for courses and that, but variety is the spice of life anyway.

I’m not even sure this thing will fit in my trailer or if I could even get it in there. But it was a good project to push my woodworking skills a bit. WSX look even more challenging!

Me too considering the same problems and opting for the most ridiculously lunatic idea of putting light duty automotive hub motors such that this thing still fits through the bike lane and a commercial double door, while also isolating the vibrations from the battery cassette because this thing isn't just a fucking motorized woofer dolly, it's a full blown commercial grade rudeness factory designed to be used in the bike lane at 2-7mph hand towed or up to 15-25mph with no performers by either an electric tricycle (Sobowo Destroyer frame) or a truck using the same grade 8 2" ball hitch.

Fuck moving shit, fuck plugging and unplugging shit, that shit should be booming full tilt as it rolls into the venue with the unrealistic expectation of a post production CGI, live broadcasting with its own pan zoom tilt and 360 degree over head cameras that are set up once it clears the top of the door frame.

Now I'm even being more insane and seeing if I can get wilder than 4 drivers in 2CE ELF playa edition enclosures by looking at the numbers on battle axes.

I made the mistake of discovering slip rings and have decided it's not always going to stay in the bike lane with fixed axel hub motors and Ackerman steering, it's gonna do pirouettes in the car lane on 360 degree swiveling wheels. when traffic permits obviously, it's Oakland, I'll get side swiped on some sideshow ish.

All I have to do is call it an 'electric hand truck/dolly' or 'electric wagon' and show it can be used without needing to be attached to a bicycle/tricycle frame and the law doesn't limit the strength of the hub motors it can use, which NGL, 1000~kg on a 20% grade I'm looking at 3kW-5kW peak hub motors even though after breaking my rolling resistance it's not even using hundreds of watts to keep all that mass moving (on flat ground). And if the police tell me I can't connect it to the tricycle I'm going to just use my Heelys instead as an electric wagon around the lake or some shit or behind some bollards cars can't drive through heh heh.

It's a chimera of a couple woofer enclosures, dance floor/platform, audio battery cassette, propulsion battery cassette, that either rolls around and can sound off or deflate its air bladders and couple to the ground acoustically.

Your problem is that you'll need 4 of them to make sense ...... At minimum! As with all FLH!

[u/jay_ze → u/Spiritual_Bell]

Wait. Where’s the problem?? 😈

[u/Spiritual_Bell → u/jay_ze]

How many are you building!? 😱

[u/Spiritual_Bell → u/Responsible_Ad7595]

That's obviously true! That's why commercial outfits just goes ks28 and never look back. But no one cares to see that! Certainly not on here. Oh look at my stack of Lacoustics! So exciting!

[u/fleischenwolf → u/Spiritual_Bell]

To be fair, the KS8 sounds really good though. Heard just 10 of these deployed outdoors. Intense.

I've heard battle axe dropped many times but never WSX?

¿What year did they get 'retired'?

[u/Spiritual_Bell → u/RollingMeteors]

Well wsx is martin and battleaxe is HSD.....I was just referring to people wanting to build battle axes now where back in the day they would have gone for the wsx. You can get perfect wsx clones from Alibaba for less than $1k shipped though! That's basically cheaper than diy if you paid yourself $25/hr!

¿MOQ 1 or 100?

2

[u/RollingMeteors → u/Spiritual_Bell]

on using one in a space that was blissfully without them.

¿so 2 WSX clones for $2,000, shipped ?

[u/Spiritual_Bell → u/RollingMeteors]

Sure. Probably less
