la cigarra

(KISS© -
Shout it out loud)

LA CIGARRA is actually a diy design with the MOTH Audio CICADA Driver
which is heavily based on the plans for the original cicada cabinet.
I will add the detailed plans in the future,
As of now "only" the MOTH Audio Cicada Plans & Sheets, because
their Website is "non responding" - at least the last few weeks. I hope
they'll get online again.
This is a very interesting driver, and as far as I know (Feb. 2006) it
can be bought at various dealers. I don't actually know if it are
remainders or new production.
HUURRAYY: Some people are looking at my web site. Just now (April, 5th.
2006), I received an m@il-question regarding the used damping
material
in the original cicada cabinets. When I build the cabinets there was no
info to get which damping materials to use. So I m@iled a guy
at
Moth-Audio:

Hello
ron,
i've
recently bought the cicada drivers and want to build the speaker cabinet
published at your web site.
i think that everything is clear to me except
the use of damping materials.
do you use any damping materials inside the
cabinets? what is it and where it's mounted.
and
that was his reply:

fiberglass works best. Put it on all sides but do not cover the port.
