School and work have kept me busy. I've got everything except the wood. Just haven't had the time. On the upside, my truck's system took a few steps forward. I built new enclosures for my 15s, ported, tuned to 23 Hz. It digs DEEEEP, especially for a Silverado.

:confused: To tune 4 Hz higher, I'm going to need a shorter port, right? I haven't worked out where I'm going to lose the additional volume from quite yet. I'm assuming a baffle right above the upper woofer and above the current bottom baffle would get the job done. I like the look of...

For those of you who have Google SketchUp, I uploaded a copy of my current mock-up to Game Front. You can click here to download the SketchUp file. I'm thinking of a black base, topped by a black front baffle and cherry sides. I haven't yet decided on what I would like to do with the back...

I went to Altex, got some alligator clips, and got them hooked up yesterday. Everything sounds good so far. I can't wait to get them in enclosures and hear the real deal. How much do I need to shorten the port to accommodate for the new tuning frequency? Even though my room is...

At last, it's all here... ...or so I thought. I just realized that I forgot to order binding posts, wires, and spikes :o I have spare junk wire lying around that I'll use to get the crossovers going so I can at least check everything. I'll order the rest when I decide on how I wanna...

It's crazy to believe, but there's still the ESA 600v and MR lines that top this one. They're even bigger. Not by much, but still. You didn't miss it. I've actually been thinking pretty deep about that lately. I haven't decided yet. This is my first home speaker build. I've done...

The mail came :D And yeah, they're really bigger than a Coke can

It's gonna be an exciting couple of days... :D Not to mention I have a new laptop coming soon too

Oh you know I had one, haha. I was a little on the fence once I pulled them out of the packaging. They don't exactly match the mid drivers. They're a little brighter or lighter or whatever you wanna call it, but it's growing on me fast. I bet you could order a new front plate to put on and...

Good to know. I'll keep that in mind. The parts I measured were the exact parts from the BOM for all shunt positions. However, the in-line components are all ClarityCap ESA 250v caps and Duelund standard resistors. My woofer inductor, 7.00mH SL, was a replacement recommended by Curt...

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..." All of my drivers are in! All of the crossover's shunt parts have arrived, as well as the two smaller inductors. I'm waiting on all of the in-line components to arrive, along with the woofer inductor. Then I'll snag some wood from 84...

Thanks for the 411. I'll go to Home Depot then. I don't mind the extra weight. I'm 24 and still lift weights, so an extra mm of MDF won't strain me. I'd rather have the extra thickness anyway.

Yesterday I finally had 2 seconds to sit down and order my tweeters and the crossovers. At some point I'll swing by Lowes and get the MDF sheets.

I've been a member there since mid-march, but haven't done any posting... mainly for some minor research for a project I ended up nixing. I'm already reading through BigJim's build (you know, there seems to be a lot of Jims and Statements coming together:rolleyes:). I was starting to mock up...

Well after reading jinjuku's Statements build thread, I decided take a shot at my first speaker build. Here's the site that contanions the various builds, including the one I'm about to take on: http://speakerdesignworks.com/. So far I've ordered the woofers and mids, but not the tweeters...

Just pulled the trigger on four RS225-8 woofers since they were on special, and grabbed the Dayton WT3 tester + precision scale combo since the scale was "free". I'm not sure if I really need it, but figured it would be fun to at least try out. Worst case, I decide it's useless and send it...

I'm not going to get too crazy with the caps/resistors, and have modded enough to know better than to mess with inductors. I'm not talking about going with ClarityCap MR 600v caps or something insane like that. I plan on sprucing up the HF and MF with some slightly nicer parts, e.g. ClarityCap...

I might've done this once or twice this past summer :D I'm right there with you, Wayne. I only go when my girlfriend is dying to see something that just came out, but otherwise my HT (which has recently turned into a 2-ch in an effort to raise funds for a whole new setup) is...

A quote worth all the money in the world :D

I think I need to change my shorts after seeing those! :D What does it cost though?
