    Top 10 Albums of the 2000's thus far

    Two notes: Kid A is a better album, on a whole, than Amnesiac. Where Amnesiac is gritty and untamed, Kid A is lush and sedated; not to say anything against gritty or untamed music, but in this case it almost comes off as dirty or dusty. There are lots of good tracks (on both albums!), and I...

    Nervous about poly-fill

    I think that the driver should be okay with some polyfill touching it.

    Nervous about poly-fill

    I went out searching for some poly-fill for the sub I'm working on, and I guess it didn't really hit me until I held the package in my hands that it was a polyester material.

I clocked in just above this, allowing a threshold for the volume the cone itself takes up as well as any braces or supports. Turns out that the box was sturdy enough without any...

I just stepped out of the garage after finishing the enclosure, more or less. It's a completely sealed design...

    I found a steal on Infinity Reference 12" woofers, and am interested in building my own single-driver subwoofer for my home theater. The driver is a a massive beast, intended originally to be used in a car audio application. It takes 300W RMS, 1200W peak and has a 4 ohm impedance (which may...
