thanks pv, i always try to make them as flexless as i can also the bracing keeps the enclosure from adding coloration to the music. if that makes sense. lol thanks for the compliment.

I don't think that there's going to be any coloration at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

How much does one of these guys weigh? My SE 15 enclosure for my room is weighing in at 70 lbs, and that's with just 45s in the corners.

the enclosure is for a 96 maxima. it not geting carpeted. but DaBeholder might.

i like the ***** look. lol

i would rather have it painted with automotive grade paint. make it look nice and shiny. lol

this one weights in at around 90Lb. my scale may be off a little. ill find out for sure when i get it to fedex or ups.

90!?! That's it? Get a new scale bud, cause that looks far heavier than my enclosure here, and I weigh mine on a medical scale (the doctor's office things with the sliders, my mom got one from her office when they went digital), so it's pretty accurate.

well like i said my scale may be off a little. but it reads 90lb, ill find out the exact weight once i take it the shipping company.

the orange clamps are from home depot i like them better then the red ones since they are a little more heavier duty.

If you've got a second, could you explain how your circle jig works? How do you attach it to the piece you're cutting? How do you keep from wrecking the circle once you get almost all the way around and the part it is attached to breaks free?

Thanks.

Thanks.

x2, I was just thinking of posting a question like that since I was going back over the pictures and admiring the work

Thanks.

its really simple, first i measure from the router bit the distance i need for my cut. then i drill a small hole on the jig and on the panel im going to cut my circle. the using the same drill i used to make the hole, i put it trough the jig and the panel. and i start cutting my hole at a rate of about 1/8" at a time, till im trugh the panel. before im done with the cut i stop leaving a small piece of about 1/4" i take the router out. then brake the circle of and sand the little stub thats left.

i hope that answers your question.

Did you double baffle that in order to get the recessed look, or did you do that with the router?

Looks like two layers to me.
