I recently bought a pair of gr-research av1 kit with baffles. I started drilling screw holes for the drivers and realized that the tweeter is not flush to the baffles sent to me. It is about 1-2 mm above the surface. Is it supposed to be this way?? And because the tweeter is not flush, the...

I found some "soft" foam at work. Yay! So does it matter how thick the foam is? The piece I have right now is about 1 1/4 inh thick.

Hmm...I checked walmart and two local craft stores and none of them have open cell foam. Walmart just have polyfill in bags and as mattress pads. Why is it so hard to locate something like this? lol. Maybe I should just order from partsexpress but thought I might be able to save on shipping...

Hmm..do you guys know any typical local stores that would carry open cell foam? I tried Home Depot and they didnt have a clue what I was talking about.

By leaving the port unobstructed, do you mean that there is an opening from the woofer to the port or that no polyfill in the port? Thanks.

Hey guys, Am I supposed to stuff the AV1 cabs with any polyfill and if so how much? I recently ordered the kit from GR-Research and it came with no stuffing material. Thanks.

Joey, Thanks for the dimension and the encouragement. I am not very good with my hands but for some reason, I keep coming back to building speakers despite my aweful skills. It is addicting hehe. At least I am improving somewhat.

Dan, Sorry about that, I forgot to update my profile with my new email address which is [email protected]

george king, I'll be sure to do that. Another question, which side (top/bottom,side,front/back) stays inbetween the other two? I dont know if I make any sense.. but I dont know how to word it.

george king, Thanks for sending cabinets plan. Thanks to everyone else too for replying! I would love to have my cabinets made by people such as Brian and Dan, unfortunately I am a poor college student (although somewhat less poor now with my part time job) so I will attempt to build...

Hi, My initial plan to build budget speakers system for my computer/room use has changed due me getting a job. This means I will be having more money for my budget so I was considering building the AV1. My skills with woodworking is still limited so I will be ordering the baffles from...

Thanks. I missed that.

I want to use them as computer speakers so I will be placing them next to my monitor. Creativesound website doesn't give any information. Thanks.

Right now I think I am going with the peerless. It seems to be a good combo of volume, power handling, small cab and decent bass. The Tangbang has a spike in the impedance that that forces me to tune higher than I want to. With the Peerless I can go with a 20L box tuned to 27Hz. The driver...

A member from diyaudio forum suggests this http://www.tb-speaker.com/detail/w8-740c.htm I have to say this make my decision harder. I am still learning, anyone with experience cares to run these drivers through simulation and guide me to the best one? They are all in the same price range...

What do you guys think of this Dayton 10in? I was messing around with WinISDlite and it can be tune to 30Hz versus the Peerless 45hz. The xmas is smaller though. Comments?

Hello everyone, Been a while since my last project with the Hawaii and the tempest sub. So recently I've decided to upgrade my computer speakers. I am planning on getting the Super Elf from creativesound since it recieved so many rave reviews. I'll add the rear speakers later when I have more...

Jason, That doesnt look THAT bad haha. You should see how ulgy my first attempt is. *shudder* Hank, Can you email some pictures to [email protected]? thanks. I am thinking of making it look like definitive technology speakers http://www.definitivetech.com/loudsp...iomonitor.html Can...

So after all those ppl that did this kit, no one has a single picture?? Seems kinda odd.

Hi, I am thinking of building the K05B50. I am curious how you guys finish it since I havent seen any picture other then the one on their website. Do you have to have the speaker cloth go all the way around like that?? Show me what you guys have done. thanks.

Hey pat, I think yours is the only one i have seen. :-/ I guess standard black box it its!

I am now in the process of making a box for my part express amp since I dont want to put it on my sonotube. I havent seen any design or photos of anyone doing one but ppl do talk about it. Wondering if you guys can point me to some cool design ppl have made or should I just go standard black...

Brian, So should I adjust the router to be at zero level at the right radius from the center, turn it on, and dial it down to 1/8 inch, then go clockwise? My router is not a plunge router.

I got myself a Ryobi fixed base router and made a circle guide for it based on Warrick's. Anyways, I have never used a router before so can you guys give pointers? I read that the direction that I thrust the router varies with each router. My manual says "the motor and bit revolve in a...

Another question although off topic. Where can I get the black fabric that goes over my sonotube?

i mean like round the edge smooth. Should i sand by hand? i am afraid its gonna be uneven.

Hi, I am building the Adire Aligntment sub. I cant find the upward spiral twist bit at Home Depot, the guy told me it is not very common. What other router bit can I use to cut? Also how do I get the edge smooth and nice looking? Thanks!

Hi, May I ask what kind of router bit you used to cut the caps? I am planning on building one too.

Energy Take 5.1 system.

Jason, I agree with you. My dad bought a bose system several years ago thinking that it was the sh!t. I never really told him but watching movies with it suck ass. You cannot hear the dialog at all and if you turn the volume up too loud, the effects will drown out the dialog still. Ugh...
