The instructions said "Let PL Premium set 5.5 years before continuing:. We have only a little time left.

....yeah....

Maybe I should change the title "T18! It's coming???"

Nice work!

Panel 4 is in. Looking good. Man the PL is drying fast when it's 88 in the garage. Working fine though. I just finished the left over PL from the THT build. Good to use that up.

Panel 3 is in. Nothing too exciting to report...

Ok, long weekend. Panel 2 is on tonight. Looks good. Got the driver test fit and tested for any issues. Perfect. Clamps are your friend. If you have issues getting things perfect, make some W jigs and get more clamps. Makes it a breeze. http://i60.tinypic.com/29xhpi8.jpg Looking good. http://i62.tin...

Too late!!!!! Got the t-nuts epoxied in. Worked pretty well. No major problems. Epoxy is messy but it's ok. Till now I've only used gorilla glue on the T-Nuts, never had a problem. Thought i'd try Epoxy. The application of gorilla glue is better, with the bottle. I think next time, I'll get some syr...

Panel 2 has been cut out. Driver hole cut as well. I'll drill the holes and do the T-Nuts, hopefully tomorrow....

Yes, this will be a garage / patio party sub. You know those W jigs are the key to keeping everything clean. They allow you to place the wood without it moving at all. No sliding wood means no mess. As for the THT, yeah, it's great. I got it dialed in a little better. It sounds great. All I hoped fo...

Progress! Panel 1 is in. This thing is tiny after the THT. Single braces too. Ha! OH, by the way, I went for 17in panels. http://i59.tinypic.com/f3zxvq.jpg W Jigs are holding it square... http://i61.tinypic.com/df98k3.jpg Looking good! Clean just like I like it. http://i58.tinypic.com/2ak055u.jpg

Got some more work done today. I bought a new toy, Dewalt 18v circular saw. I was finally able to do the access panel with the plunge cut described in the plans. Works like a champ. http://i59.tinypic.com/2z6ujk3.jpg All drilled out and lines on both sides. Ready for some panels! http://i59.tinypic....

As promised in the THT thread, the T18 is next! Got the sides cut, lines drawn... Happy 4th!!!




I'm still thinking about doing this one as a slim. Any input would be appreciated. I have the room, just be nice if it was slim.

Well, i've had it for a few days now. After battling a ground loop hum, I've got it silent. It sounds great. Effortless deep bass. I've taken it nowhere near max volume. The house shakes when this thing is playing low bass. It sounds great with anything I throw at it. My basement configuration is a ...

By some miracle, I had enough Duratex to finish! Even some left over. It goes a long way if you primer first. Remember that. Ok, here it is, final side drying!!! It's going to the basement tonight!

Oh yes, this thing does make bass.... I keep forgetting! I'm going to run out of duratex. I think i'm going to move it to the basement anyway though and fire it up. Enough of the waiting...
