Got a the 2nd box pretty much assembled. Still have a lot of sanding/filling to do and I Will install the main braces before painting. A7B68EEB-E214-4B27-B37F-9B87852B95FF.jpeg However when constructing the 2nd box, I realized I forgot to add the internal braces (not the visible ones) on the first b...

"Is air tightness important around every internal edge or more important where the outside panels join?" DEFINITELY all along the horn path. Without a continuously sealed boundary between subsequent parts of the horn, the pressure will "short circuit" by taking the path of least...

You're right, the first box is looking good. Nicely done! 1) Use PL construction adhesive. The guy at Rockler recommended tightbond 3 for outdoor speaker boxes instead of PL and against my better judgement I decided to listen to him instead of the instructions. Big mistake. :wall: Air-tightness is ...

PEdsaH0.jpeg the first box is shaping up nicely. A few things I will do differently going forward: 1) Use PL construction adhesive. The guy at Rockler recommended tightbond 3 for outdoor speaker boxes instead of PL and against my better judgement I decided to listen to him instead of the instructio...

Rub some PL on it and it'll be fine. If you have access to a CNC, why not make some router templates? Makes builds way faster, easier and consistent. If I made 8 of anything by hand, the first would look terrible and the eighth would look decent. I have to complete the CNC router safety course befo...

I have an xti2000 I'd probably sell if you need something for the tops. I got spare amps laying around.....probably time to get rid of some. Right now, I'm focusing on the subs before i start acquiring gear for the tops. but as soon as im done with these, ill be very interested! SyNWLSd.jpeg Also, ...

I'm looking at my dream space right there - the wife and kids would never see me again and I would have walls full of unused drivers for 'projects' that I'll start 'later'. That's the makerspace I joined this year. Decided to join when I wanted to start this project. They have all the tools you can...

1/2 Baltic Birch 16 panels @ 6.22 from Menards 99.52 for those curious about cost-cutting, after running the SketchUp model through the cut list extension you can get all 1/2in pieces cut from a single 5'x5' board. My local wood supplier sells them for about $65 apiece. so you should be able to sav...

looking good! I plan on building a handful of these myself when I finish my Tuba45's!

What did you use to paint the inside surfaces? I was wondering if I should duratex the inside of my T45 or use a different kind of paint.

Been hiding under a rock reading and re reading the plans for the last week. Finally started cutting the panels today. Ran out of 5x5 panels so I spliced 2 offcuts together. Waiting for that to dry before I finish cutting the last 2 long internal panels. Looks pretty cool. What will you be doing wit...

Got some wood yesterday. Not stoked about the prices/availibility on baltic birch at the moment... f**k putin Going to start working on my first Soundsystem this weekend. Heres the fusion360 render of a 2x4 stack of T45. Im super excited to get to work on this project!

so heres what im thinking to drive the subs at least. if I run 4 tuba45's with lab 12 drivers, I could power them with the Behringer nx3000d (2 subs per channel in parallel) the amp is 2 ohm stable so if two of the subs are daisy chained on each channel that would bring the impedance down to 3ohm on...

Third, if you plan to use them primarily outdoors, you'll get more useable output with Titans. Yes I will primarily be using them outdoors, but also indoors at after parties and the music I will be playing is deep dub so the lower the subs can fire the better. I much prefer lowness to loudness anyw...

I’ve always wanted to build a system to be able to take to festivals for renegade late night sets, and I’ve finally gotten started. I’m working on 4 tuba 45’s, and 2-4 dr280’s. For the tubas I will be going with the eminence bp102 drivers. I’m on a fairly tight budget and I’m building the speakers a...
