Re: My first build

This is not the crumbly type (styrofoam). It's the extruded type: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kingspan-Insulation-Common-1-in-x-2-ft-x-2-ft-Actual-1-in-x-2-ft-x-2-ft-1-R-5-Unfaced-Polystyrene-Foam-Board-Insulation/1000236635 but it might break down sooner. I searched the Lowes site and it only shows &q...

Re: My first build

Haven't been able to find urethane foam for the throat filler but did find 1" polystyrene at Lowes. Will that work? I read somewhere where the shape is more important than the material as long as it holds up. Also wondered if anyone used the PL to fill any voids/cracks. I have wood filler but d...

Re: My first build

I'm about done with the cabinet. Don't have the woofer yet but will try as soon as it arrives. I did get the crossover/filter idea straight in my thick scull....duh. They have the 2k 8 ohm low pass kit on the Speaker Hardware site.

Re: My first build

Filter and crossover are terms that confuse me. I do guitar electronics stuff (rewiring pickups, pots, etc. and do some pedal mods but with kits that have the schematic with items to upgrade/replace. If I use the piezos and the filter suggested in the plans should I still use a crossover for the woo...

Re: My first build

Good point about trying just the woofer first. The reason I mentioned the Ashley is that it's been laying around unused for a long time. If I think I need tweeters/peizos I'll need some assistance on what I need. Thanks again.

My first build

I'm finally getting around to building one of the BFM cabinets. I decided on a single Jack 10 for electric bass and maybe a second one depending on how it turns out. I'm a guitar player but often fill in on basss for jams and wanted a compact rig for that purpose. I'm planning on using the Eminence ...

Re: Arauco plywood

We only have a Lowes in our small town and they've driven the regular lumber stores out of business. There is a Menards about 30 miles away and they show the Arauco in 1/2". I've never shopped at Menards and had forgotten about them. Thanks for jarring my memory.

Re: Arauco plywood

I went to my Lowes and found out they DON'T carry the Arauco in our area; Home Depot doesn't carry it either. They do have the Blondewood but that it doesn't sound like a good choice. Guess I'll just keep hunting.

Re: Arauco plywood

I just checked online at my local Lowes and they too have the Arauco in 15/32" 4'x8' sheets for $33.97. I have no idea what the weight/sq-ft is. I want to build the 2-12" guitar cabinet. Any comments? Thanks, Steve
