Dedicated HT DIY build

[GO-NAD!]

Thanks GO-NAD. LOL at the name

I supopose my handle is a bit of a double-entendre. When I joined AH, I had recently acquired my NAD C372 and I was very happy with it. So, when I had to pick an AH name, "GO-NAD!" got entered before I gave any thought to it.

You got all that cherry wood from your property, eh? I had to make do with pine from mine...

I ended up getting about 800 brd ft from two trees. Was quite a time dragging the logs out with my 4 wheeler. Following are some pics (fun stuff if you're into it)

Final product in the basement waiting on sanding/finish

that is nice looking wood great to see were able to use it. What did you do with all of that saw dust?


And at less than $1 a foot wow

 

[fotto]

Thanks. Actually, I just left the sawdust right were it was (kicked it around a bit so the pile wasn't so tall). The pile is slowly getting smaller. Really didn't think much about doing anything with it.

Great little HT! Is the sub also behind the screen and how well does it work in that space?

 

[fotto]

Thanks for the compliment AVRat. Yes, my PB12-NSD is sitting behind the screen (on a sand filled box at stage level) between center and FR speaker.

It's actually performing pretty nicely. I'm sure that what I did with bass traps is helping immensely. With the size of the sub, I was pretty limited on location options so did what I could with treatments to mitigate any nasties due to placement constraints. Following is a sweep with REW on just the sub from MLP:

I'm working (very part time) on getting a null figured out in my crossover region, and also considering getting another sub this year with the goal of placing behind screen as well on left side.
