Bill has birthed a great design here.

I can't even begin to explain the horrible imagery this invoked .

I picked up a deq2496 used. It is seemingly sporadically dropping the sound out of either one or both channels. It's not showing any errors and everything looks normal on the screen. Another symptom is sometimes I only use the right channel for when my kids are watching a movie, and when I turn it b...

I use the Mitre 5000 and LOVE it! Gives me perfect angles and squared cuts every time. It's expensive, and people with more woodworking experience than me (everyone) could probably get just as accurate without one. But for me it is a life saver and a headache saver.

Oh yeah

Hi y'all; I've used those brass inserts as connectors for bolt on neck of guitar/bass. Much better than a screw, BUT, they are not very sturdy. You can get the same insert in steel. Barely heavier & substantially stronger. my .$ 02. Very good recommendation. The softness of the brass is what ma...

Just thought I would share an easy way to insert brass inserts if you choose to go that route. After trying to use a flat head screw driver and getting about 1 out of 3 inserted without breaking the edges that the screw driver sits in, I looked around the garage and came up with this. Take a bolt th...

I popped in a DJ Magic Mike CD to see what it could do. OMG, just flashed back to 16 riding around in my buddies '88 civic hatchback "booming" through town with the seat reclined back almost all the way! Is that dude still doing stuff? I always attributed my later love of DnB, to his and ...

EDIT: sorry, my son sat on the keyboard on my lap in the middle of posting.

That's what I get when I don't do the least amount of research before a purchase . I got a little frustrated initially, but I can make it work, just have to make sure the driver hole punches are in a certain spot.

I thought it meant 10" of clearance. I bought one and there's about 7" without the bit. With the bit, I can't fit my DR assembly in it to drill out the speaker mount holes. Grrr.

First I vote for the drill press. They just come in handy for so many things. For drilling holes like these I just eye the drill up really well and my holes always come out right. I realize that not everybody can do that. There are a couple of other options. You can buy a cheap drill guide in the b...

A drill press is a valuable tool for cab building and in general woodworking (I want one for my bday) as for all my tools ill go to the best i could pay or the best deal i see...... if you have a hand drill try to keep the woodpiece from mooving,,... if they gone offset a little but you can drive t...

Thanks for all the info. So I know I can get by with the cheap $80 10" for the DR's. I'm really worried about using screws on these as it seems like it's not easy as it is to replace the drivers. It seems like it would be way harder to drive screws in a finished box? Is there any part of the tu...

I'm now recommending using screws to mount neo magnet drivers in all of the cabs with driver spacers. Between the very light driver weight and the full inch of plywood for them to grab hold of it makes more sense than struggling with various insert nut options. I use 1-1/2" pan head #8 screws....

When I drilled out my 1st 2 DR280 baffle's/rings for the driver, I tried drilling as straight as I could, but noticed when I installed the brass inserts and bolted the driver down, they weren't completely straight and had to do a small amount of finagling (just put a little pressure in one direction...
