I put the order in yesterday so the chalk should arrive today. I was trying to avoid buying another piece of apparatus but don't want to screw this up.

All right folks I have returned. I test fitted the driver and installed it with the recex screws. I ran the 20 Hertz test tone. There's a lot of vibrations so it's really quite difficult to determine if the speaker cone surround is hitting the baffle. The sounds that I hear are either the piece of w...

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

Got it.

I hope I'm wrong, but a few of them appear as though they may be too far out from the ledge. Driver screw holes are pretty close to the cutout diameter. I'd trial fit and screw down the driver before installing that panel, just to make sure the screws actually go into the retention blocks. Not a hu...

Well here is a Pic of the baffle retaining blocks all complete. More progress in two weeks. That'll be panel installation time!

Glued and clamped the last two retaining blocks for the baffle today. Enjoy the bottoms up Pic. This will be the last of it till I return in two weeks. Man the Pl premium is absolutely BEAST...

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...

You're probably going to want to use something a little more air tight than foil. I usually cut off a finger from a disposable glove and wrap it tightly with masking tape. But there's a few methods people use that seem to work. If you stick with the tin foil and nail, let us know how it fares. Hope...

Started using PL adhesive to secure the retaining blocks on the baffle. For some reason I decided to make it more difficult for myself and use clamps instead of drywall screws to temporary hold them together. I did four of them for now, I'll use drywall screws for the remaining four. The finished t6...

Oh and a pic below.

It's not supposed to be linear, it's supposed to be logarithmic. Doubling of volume isn't twice the power, it's ten times the power. What I meant to say was the actual knob on the amplifier. I found out what I was doing wrong. My source is a laptop which signal is very weak. Switch to go through mi...

Still working on the baffle. Decided to do the break in process for the lab 12, per the plans. My amp is a QSC plx 1804. Not going to lie I don't have experience with speaker Excursion outside of an enclosure, so it's a bit nervous feeling when I see the surround flexing a lot. A quarter turn of the...

Hope this thread isn't too dead yet. For the original question, I'd keep the drive rack just for the security of making it harder to accidentally change the settings. I use both Xair and X32 on a regular basis. My main system is the Midas M32C with DL32. Most things are going to be similar. Especia...
