Welcome, my friends, to what is my biggest (literally) project yet.

Just how complex are your crossovers? Custom PCBs are nice but I think it'd be more work than it's worth for most crossovers.

3-way first order. Took 5 minutes to draw, that shit blitzed the copper off in 4 minutes. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif So no, it's not more work than it's worth. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Har har. Aight, mini update. As of now, all they need is the double baffle and the top, plus all the cutouts. The ****ers weigh a shit ton, I shit you not. Because of that, while moving one around, I dropped it on one of its corners //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif. Oh well, what can you do? Full pics tomorrow, x-overs are done as well, I just don't feel like uploading pics now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

How do you plan on finishing the cabinets?

I will lacquer them this summer. I just don't have the time nor money to do it right now while at school. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh my ****, I just finished them. Too tired for pics, too tired to move them (weighing in at 124.6 a side) and too tired to care. Will update in the morning. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/omg.gif.05aa02c3095d6ce9338996654eca0863.gif

Alright y'all, pic time. Here's the stuff from a day or so ago that I was too tired to post then as well:

Everyone likes preliminary internal shots:

The drawing of the PCB:

Ports, do you have them? A little perspective shot for those who actually go to school //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Nekkid boxes before double baffle:

Where I duffed the corner //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

Continued....

.....here.

Crossovers are finished, using the very safe 10M HCl solution //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Aww shit, get ready, all done just need to driver it up!

And finally, without further ado...:

Trusty diet coke in port //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

That's stage 1 100% complete folks. Stage two involves the finishing and what not, which will commence this summer. If I can convince someone to help me carry these upstairs, I'll fire 'em up and see how they sound. Until the next installment.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
