I've been looking at these for a while myself. Anyone have any feedback on these: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=299-028 vs the previous model: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=299-027 I'm thinking about building a platform for my fouton. Seems to me a...

It seems to me that the tweeters are in their own sealed compartment. I'm guessing that the sealing around the tweeters in this situation would not be as important because of this compartment. I'm just taking a guess here. Edit: Sorry, need to refresh my browser after walking away.

Hey all, I'm building a set of MTMs and I had a quick question regarding Hurricane Nuts. On my sub project (in finishing phase) I didn't use any backer on my hurricane nuts when installing. Unfortunatly, I pulled out two hurricane nuts during the process (when testing the screws). I was using...

Well, I may have gotten some magnets that are too small. What I was thinking is that I would take 3/4 inch particle board and make a couple of ring/round grill covers 1/2"-3/4" wide - rounded on both sides. I was also thinking about lining up about 8 of the small magnet pairs per grill. Would...

I suppose I should've taken a diameter measurement of the driver with the rubber gasket on and then rounded up to the nearest 16th. That would've given me the best appromimation most likely. As it is, I think I am going to do what ThomasW has suggested and move forward without the rings. I...

Hello all, It has been a LOONNGG time since I posted. I finally have enough of a break to try to finish my thunder 12.3 cabinet. A little problem popped up. I cut the drive openings to the specs in the design I recieved from Stryke, but the PR and Subwoofers will not fit in the holes...

Sorry, Yes the box is already built. I suppose I could just trim enough to place a thin veneer strip along the edge. Otherwise you guys are suggesting that I not do it huh? I thought a rabbet bit might keep me steady along the edge with the bearing for support.

or a 3/8" and make 2 passes? wouldn't a 1/2" go too far?

Hello all, Quick question. I want to router out 3/4" on the top and bottom edges of my sub box so I can put 3/4" walnut strips in there. That way the sub will match my mains, oak with walnut strips. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?? Would a 3/4" rabbit bit at a 3/4" depth be the...

Thanks Pete! Have you done roundovers this way? Lata.

What are you guys using for a rumble filter when using a pro amp? I'm looking at the RMX850 for my av12 in a thunder 12.3 cabinet but I'm wondering about the rumble filter/sub-harmonic filter. I might just get the Rythmik. Later

ANy tips/tricks RE: Titebond iron technique? My yard has way too many trees and with the seasons changing crap is in the air. Using the titebond method would allow me to work inside without the fumes (tuckunder garage- fumes get everywhere). Or do you all think I should just try and deal with...

Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like I'll give the 10ml paper backed a try this time around. It is a sub, and it will be in the corner so if I mess up, it'll be ok. I think I'll try the nbl option on my next project. Again, thanks for the input. I understand that each person will...

Hey all- Well I've finally gotten around to nearly completing my Thunder 12.3 box. (Outer side panels glue tonight) Now I need to think about the finish. I was searching through the threads here and it looks like one of the best places to shop is tapeease.com. Ok, so I'm looking at the...

Ok Dennis, so I just clamp a factory edge on top of the cutt edge and use the flush bit? Looks good to me. Thanks for the tip. I'm guessing a 1/2" collet with a 1" depth would be good. I wonder if I can find something similar locally. Woodcraft Looks like that would trim veneer...

Yes, I'd imagine I could do that. Just another thing to set up and try to get straight right? It is just tricky when you are looking at 1/16th of an inch difference.

I'll have to grab a machinist's square. I just knew the squares I was using weren't square. Darnit. I just wasted a chunk of MDF. I was lining up the rip guide with a t-square and a carpenter's square. They were off. I have to find a combination/machinist's square asap! I'm sure HD has them...

Hey Darren, Yeah, I tried to square it up at the sole. I checked it with my t-square. Is there a better method to that madness? I'm thinking I could just clamp the two pieces that should be the same together and sand them so at least they will be equivalent, but i'm still really close to...

Hey all, Well, my table saw connection fell through so now I've resorted to cutting my MDF with a circular saw and a straightedge. It is working ok thus far but the one thing that is annoying is at the end of the cut it seems the edges aren't 90 up/down (the 3/4" width). Anyone have hints on...

John, you've convinced me, it seems like the dual PR option in a Thunder 12.3-type box is going to be the best option for the long run. This way I could sell my existing boxes to someone that is looking for a solid car subwoofer. Jack- I'll be awaiting your results! Brian_DR - Your plate...

Hmm... Brian_DR, with your A350 and the Linkwitz transform (LT) module I could possibly use my existing cabinets and get good low-bass extension correct? ID 15"x15.75"x15.75" I will have to plug a port but I was thinking I could plug it with a new speaker terminal and build a quick...

So John, Would you suggest moving up to 1800gram pr? I read somewhere that a heavier pr would give a slightly lower extension but reduce output slightly at 20Hz. Problem is, I don't know where they sell 15" pr @ 1800g. edit: I read another post by you inthis thread. Other thoughts on...

Hey everyone. I've been doing some searching here in the DIY section in regards to the Av12 and enclosure options. I actually purchased two av12s in the first preorder and now have decided to build new enclosues for them. I do listen to music but I spend the most time watching movies...

Sounds good, I'll plug the ports and give the new drivers a try. I will most likely end up building a acouple of new boxes but I do not have the time at this moment. If I could get away with plugging the port, removing the insulation and dropping in these new drivers at least temporarily...

Hey Kyle or John, Could you take a quick look at the thread I posted earlier today? http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...threadid=95023 I'm looking for a couple new, good 12" drivers that will fit in existing enclosure(s). I got tipped off that this new 12" might be a good fit and I'm...

Hello all- I'm new here so take it easy on me! :) I've read the sticky at the top of the forum and I think I might be ok with this question. I'm looking for a new 12" driver for my HT setup. Right now I'm using two identical "cubes" each consists of: JL 12W1...
