A few updates, labored pretty hard yesterday at work for 11 hours, but couldn't resist the urge to start droppin in drivers. Was up until 1 am, and my body finally gave out.. hot and humid as H3LL here so it was a pleasure to spend my day off indoors finishing up the driver installs...

2 boxes finished.... lots of work and wowsers are these things heavy, can't possibly imagine what HealthNut was thinking with the stone :confused: though they are unique...

Anywho.... here are some pics sorry for the Cr@ppy quality, I'll get a real camera for some good pics.

Hey Warp what are the legs sitting in/on at the hardwood floor, is it a small disc like the spikes have? I hope those orange straps are just for sub relocation :confused:

They'll be running, but doubtful they are calibrated. Nuance is going to come over and help me with the REW sweeps, but no reason to have him come over until the 3rd one gets up and running....

New Iphone Cr@ppy resolution in low light....

Small little sliders from homey depot, I'm not worried about them vibrating with the design, but I didn't want to dent the wood. I can push them around pretty easy with 1 hand with those... very nice...


I am willing to bet that the straps are for 1 of 2 reasons.

1. To hold you on the couch when he cranks those subs.

2. To keep that lady with all the money from getting away.

#3 reason - *** swing.... :)

#4 Tie her down when I talk $hit so she doesn't get her guns and shoot my @$$ :D

hey mike, yes the phone cam sucks.... sorry

I drop in the basket without the motor on it and align the TC Sounds logo to be level, then predrill the holes for the screws. I put the tape down and mark the holes for alignment. I use closed cell weather strip tape to seal the drivers against leaks on the front, had issues and learned this is the best way to go to prevent them. When I put the weather strip down it covers the holes up so I cant see them. Works really well.

2) It looks like he marked the tape with a marker to show the exact location of the screw inserts, those drivers must be really heavy, lol.

** Edit-Sorry the Master beat me to it. ^^

Well after doing some reading on the benefits of dual opposed...I'm already having buyer remorse...this hobby sucks, thanks Warp!:D
 
Ahhhh yes, still waiting for john to finish up the last one for me, then I can get it in play....

Got them wired up last night, had to replace the 2 wire speaker cable and run 4 wire speaker cable for them and was putzin with them a bit, they sound fantastic, not a whole lot different then the old ones, but completely inert - Still have to RE-EQ the whole array though....

Theres def more headroom.... barely working right now to put out what I already had...
 
My wife said they are ugly so HA, HA...

I am still up for buying one off of you. You don't need 3...
 
Heres a few better pics, though I am no photographer, some day I'll invest in a nice SLR....


For Krzywica, seein as he's always B*tchin :)

Yeah I know I'm like a freaking wife during the Super Bowl.
