where do i find bright neon green speaker wire??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
Thanks. Actually it was a complete failure. The amps and batteries under the box is nice. I created a proper false floor on top of them and cut the legs off that box for some last testing before I dumped it.kind of a unique set-up here, i like it very much. Space constraints ftl, they're killing me in the buick //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
That was some CF/Kevlar hibrid cloth. Looks nice but is an absolute nightmare to work with.... It absolutely doesn't cut until you put the epoxy on it so you're forced to work with the full 50" wide roll which is so easy to get snags and pulls in.good look on the full cf cap. keep it goin!
Got it on this forum. It was supposed to be #8...more like #10, but it looks different and works.where do i find bright neon green speaker wire??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
It's called "cabinet grade" plywood. 25$ a sheet at Home Depot. It is much lighter than MDF, way easier to work with IMHO, and my rear hatch has a good bit of leaking and MDF tends to swell up and melt with only a few drops of water. Ply is much more resistant. That piece with the big void was some really cheap plywood I used to build a test box before (just had it laying around and needed an odd piece). Actually the box that I built with that crap plywood did 149.9 with a single 15" on 3K. If I kept a box more than a month I'd put some time into filling voids, sanding, and painting, but I go through boxes fast so I don't put too much money into materials and I don't generally waste a bunch of effort on cosmetics.What are the advantages of using that grade of pine wood, vs like MDF? and is that a split in the wood on the last picture you posted? does that not hurt it either?
I like all the curved lines you've been using. Since it's winter,you probably have more time to experiment,so I'd like to offer another option to the sonotube,if you don't mind a tighter radius. You local natural gas company probably used PE pipe for it's distribution lines,[we do ,out here] and the 8" medium density pipe has lots of uses beside carrying gas. It's 5/8" thick,cuts easy with a band saw or whatever you have,takes course sheet rock screws without stripping or pre drilling. You could dowel it or screw it in as the inside curve and it would act as the outside corner of the box at the same time. I use it for simple sub tubes for 8" subs,a straight drop in,most of the time and also cut it on angle to make kick panel pods or tilting up door speakers. The 6" size pipe takes an MB Quart [old,German built] as well as my Maximo's,with no mods as well. They may have scraps from jobs that they just throw away. Might be worth asking.
