Predrill the screw holes in the blocks first, before driving the screws in, okay?

Oh. My. Word.

Aw, Keryn, that's awesome, and hilarious!

So I attempted to secure the other retention blocks with a drywall screw but there was no proper way to drive the screw through cuz it would just push the block away. Try to install the blocks with screws (pre-drilled holes before installing the screws), then, remove screws until just the point sti...

I would use the AES number, and drop the voltage by 5v. There would not be much difference in output by using a bit less, but you would save the drivers from over extention. You gain more SPL by adding cabs than you would by cranking up the last bit of amp power.

Nice pic. Looks good.

I would love to come over, but, I already had plans for the day.

I'm properly looking forward to your review!
