me too! here's to hoping the enclosure doesn't dance back and forth with the PR up top

 

[mike c]

i have a problem. in my zeal to brace the crap out of the box ... i ended up doubling the walls instead of bracing the walls ... now i have a net volume of 3.05 cubic feet instead of the targetted 3.5 cubes.

gluing together

 

[mike c]

2.25" walls

 

[mike c]

never mind, opening them BACK up literally + .48 cubes back again

panels for the front - old school - drill a million holes around the circumference of the driver

Lookin good there buddy... Look forward to how it comes out as well... Should be pretty cool...

Its about time you posted your own pics of that passive, instead of using my copywrited pics

sand and steel

sealed up

test fit

 

[Warpdrv]

Nice... buddy... not sure if the steel and sand were really all that necessary, but hey what the hell, that thing isn't goin anywhere anytime soon...

i got scared because people said even 200+lb. subwoofers with PR's up top tap danced.

right now, i think i'm only at the 200lb. mark. ill try to install everything today ... EP2500 on the way ... ill play with it first before i do any finishing - just in case.

ready for testing (waiting for the amp)

for scale

Looks like an DD1812, but built in a cave. Sorta like the First Ironman suite.

Can't wait to see it complete.

uh oh, there's air leaking out of the PR - from the sides, like the PR isn't flat to the baffle ... will try to fix it later/tomorrow

in case you guys have some ideas for:
cutout too big? too small?
or how to make a flange?

please chime in

 

[mike c]

found the problem ... one part of the cone is not attached properly (glue dried up?)

what kind of glue do i use? will mighty bond work? (super glue) or is that too hard?

what about shoe glue?

haha, thanks ... i wear the same thing to work, but the guy in the pic is my older BUT smaller brother ... figured it should show the sub to be a bit bigger

except for being hard to wear (tears easily) i like the pineapple barongs because there's no tie to wear ... just a shirt and pants

you can't imagine how many million times i had to learn to tie a tie. pretty much every occasion ... i just delete it from my memory right after the wedding or what not.

how is it comming along? Any other pressure leaks? Looking good

i missed a tiny part the first go round ... caught it the second time. i changed the tuning during the second "opening" because i just wasn't seeing the PR move (i tuned higher). now im thinking i should bring it back down to max.

cool keep us posted. what finish are you planning on using for the wood?
