SMOKING CAUSES CANCER
so i got a pair of TBI HDSS TWEP51 tweeters about a week ago. temp installed them in order to get the imaging correct via the angle mounting cups for my sound stage. req and i just spent the past 2 hours final mounting them, wrapping them then finally coating them with some epoxy resin. here are the build pics. we have to finish the pods, they are currently drying after their first coat of resin.
the first picture is of the temporary amp\xover installation in the boot. eventually there will be a complete false floor install after we get back from deployment.
let me know what you think.
this is the tweeters installed using the angular mounting brackets, the tweeters are pressure fitted in, and they are VERY tight. the soundstage is very high, we spent an hour or so playing with the IASCA disc and the angle. it came out superb.
this is our workbench. aka reqs false floor cover and our tools and dinner (chipotle burritos)
we started by taking the bob smith industries IC2000 cyanoacrylate glue and permanently fixing the angle we fixed.
we proceeded to add supports to the front\back of the cup so that when we stretch our form the cup has a stiffer support behind it. we just used 1\4" wooden sticks from the hobby shop. you could use chopsticks or Popsicle sticks.
then we put glue around the edge of the mounting cup to start our form so that the harsh angle would not interfere with the fabric and keep the area where the tweeter is mounted stuck where we needed it.
layed the fabric down and shot it with some PT-15 Zip Kicker accelerator.
