Kick bin

Work then began with the new Kick bin. The design as far as i am aware has not been seen before the idea behind this has been the types of events we would be holding and taking the equipment to. Mainly being Drum and Bass. Whilst we have been on our adventures we both decided there was just some thing missing slightly from the bass end of this genre of music. Many sound systems that we have both witnessed took on board the main fundamentals of sound reinforcement but we both decided that the lower end could be increased slightly using the low to mid range. Producing the over all "kick" sound to the type of dance music we listen to.

The flare of the speaker concentrating on the middle section of the driver. We believed that this would work and as the speaker would be placed at chest height of the average person it would produce the kick sound in the mid-low range at the right point between high and low and also propel the sound to its maximum having a fantastic result for the type of music played.

The construction of the kick bin followed similar lines as the bass in. Created and building the main structure again using the same products as before.

  The clamps hold the main structure of the speaker together while the glue sets. Due to the shape of the structure this speaker was one of the hardest and longest cabinets to build.

As shown in the picture above you can see the angle in which the flare is structured. If you look closely at the first picture you can see the routed sections ready to put in the side panels of the speaker.

Here is a close up of the support structure and fold.

Here is the baffle and back section the kick bin.

This speaker will house a 15" PD driver 600W 4 ohm. For this driver we had to contact Blue Aran directly as the driver is not in stock and must be custom made and sent directly. We were advised that this could take up to three weeks.

The kick bin took roughly two weeks to make and finish including sanding and filling.
