Re: Jack 10 lite build x 2

1) On page 4, it says to draw two 14" radius arcs from A & B. Needs to say 8-3/4". Minor but will confuse builders. Fixed, thanks. 2) The holes shown for the Top Hat on the bottom & duct do not line up. They are off by 3/4", which a top hot will not fit through :roll: The que...

Re: DIY ABS glue

So is the best glue to join the tweeters ABS cement, or PVC glue? It was my understanding that the ABS cement actually formed a chemical bond, while the PVC glue just formed a brittle surface fillet. BTW my "acetone/tweeter scraps" mix has produced a strong bond, that is able to withstand ...

I ticked the "Open box and check contents" option at Shipito, and that's where they discovered the glue, and informed me DHL wouldn't ship it.

DIY ABS glue

Can't source ABS glue locally, and DHL won't ship flammable liquids, so... I searched the forum, and found references to BFM's DIY ABS glue, but couldn't find the original thread... so... I saved all the offcuts and scurf when I trimmed my piezos, and soaked them in a bit of acetone overnight. Today...

Wegehorn 6 + 3 x Wedgehorn 6 Lite.

W6's out of 7mm 3-ply (that's all I could get ;) )
If they're too flabby, they will do nicely as emergency refuges for homeless ladybugs.

Pole/column speaker

Are there any plans to do a BFM pole/column type speaker design, similar to the Bose L1?

I used Selleys Liquid Nails Platinum at $10/cartridge from the local Mitre10 hardware here on the east coast of Australia and got a Jack10 and an XF 2x10 easily out of one cartridge...
