The best way is almost unquestionably a vacuum press. Way overkill for one project, but since you can build one for around $300 (I did) it's well worth having if you end up doing more veneering work. Details on how to build one at www joewoodworker com It's not a real URL since I'm new here...

That's great information. Thanks both!

I have a Parasound preamp hooked into my McCormack amp, and although I love the sound, I have a need to put some fixed attenuation between the two. The reasons aren't that important, but the McCormack doesn't have variable gain on it, and I would like to get somewhere around 6-10db attenuation...

I also got my preordered AV15 last week

Rockler has some stuff like that, but not a huge variety... so does lee valley. Sorry I don't know any huge sources for that stuff...

Jeffrey, I understand what you're saying, but if you have no idea about DVC's or sub wiring, why would you guess at how to hook up your sub without asking anyone? I think the assumption in the areas of DIY are that you already know, or will find out how to do the "D" part of DIY. Stryke doesn't...

Please don't take this post as a flame! I only speak my opinion (not Stryke's) and it is not intended as anything personal. My opinion is that while instructions would have been a nice bonus, they should by no means be expected for a product as standard as a speaker. Sure, including the specs...

I've definitely seen rabbets, and I've definitely seen dados, particularly used with bracing, and I think both are good ideas. Mortise and tenon would be a bad choice, in my opinion, since the tenon is meant to be load bearing, like the bottom rail of a park bench, and wouldn't be of particular...

I have been dealing with Rythmik, and can tell you that Brian Ding is a class-act. I had many questions regarding their 350-se amp and the new Linkwitz transform available for it, and Brian has been nothing but a wealth of information and a great help. His time and efforts go beyond what could...

Actually, that may be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!!

I am building a sub and have used UniBox to do so. I will eventually be adding a Linkwitz Transform to the sub to lower the Qtc and Fsc, but to do this accurately, I would like to be able to measure the pre-Linkwitz Qtc and Fsc of the sub. I can calculate it, but I imagine it may be quite...

I'm not an expert, by any means, but I know what sounds good to me. My speakers are a pair of Dunlavy SM-1's and a McCormack amp. Those speakers (which are just tweeters and 6" mids) are only off -1.5db at 60Hz. Many other brands and DIY speakers are capable of similar performance, so I'm not...

Yeah, that was the third unspoken option (and thanks for your reply)! What I'm planning is roughly a 2.5 cubic foot sealed sub with an AV15, stuffed with 3 lbs of polyfill and insides lined with acoustic foam. There will be a Linkwitz transform to push the Q and Fs down, but I was just trying to...

In other words: If I have a 3 cubic foot enclosure and line the inside with 1.5" thick acoustic foam, does my enclosure now appear to be something like a 2.5 cubic foot (or whatever the math is) because I just lost 1.5" all around, OR is the foam open enough that it still counts as open space...
