I'm at K-State, I love it here. Originally from Clifton (small town, ~30 miles east of Concordia)

*edit* I've never really liked topeka either.... Although thankfully I don't have to live there.

If I had to change something in the construction heres what I would do.

I would make it so when you look at the front, you dn't see any end grain. You might like the endgrain at the sides, idk, but something i would definetly do next time is sink that top down so you don't see any endgrain from the top board. just recess it in there. My .02$ on that matter....

Now comes a question.

Could we get a break down of cost in these projects, a synopsis of what you would do different, and the plans? I am pretty **** tempted to make some of these, since my line array situation isn't looking to healthy right now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

*edit* My reasoning on the top board being set in there is to me it looks like you forgot to put it on and you went oh shit, I forgot a top and glued one on there.... Although I know that isn't what you did.

:shrug: i personally like the raw aesthetic look, but personal taste isn't what sells //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

break down in cost for this one? well lemme see:

2 tb w871s drivers - 18 each

birch plywood - 40 for 4x8

SNF - 10 a side

Dayton feet - 10 a side (b stock)

dayton binding posts - 5 a side

danish oil - 8 dollars //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif from wood + (local place)

total cost-------------------136 dollars give or take

Can you explain to me the reasoing for the SNF (Source Noise Filter?)

And what you think of the setup on your computer, a quick review.

Thanks

snf = series notch filter //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

it takes out the tiring high end of the cone essentially.

the computer speakers are VERY transparent (obviously not in this setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif ) but the amplifier is gods gift to sin. its terrible.

Ahh ok...Thanks

I am thinking about making this project (the tangband one...) to replace the tv's speakers at home, Mom keeps *****ing about the sound, so maybe she would like these.

ooh sorry //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

they are nothing special, 4x5x48 cabinets, that equals out to around half a cubic foot after driver and bracing displacement //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Is this the interior dimensions or the exterior? And it is just loosely stuffed polyfill in the cabinet the full length?
