Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

when mounting the speakers the plans say to use a bathtub caulk to seal the drivers to the baffle. Is there any specific type of caulk I should use? Maybe someone could recommend one I could get from a big box store.

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

After measuring the woofers some more i decided to go with the 3 5/8" hole saw. This will give me a little more room when screwing the woofers into the baffle. I also noticed that the outside dimension on the 4028's is 4.410" not the specified 4.375". I will be spacing these at 4.5&qu...

Re: SLA ht build

I love my HS80m's and I am also building TLAH's It will be interesting to hear the difference between the two. I'm quite fond of the HS80m's.

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

Or it might be better to buy both sizes and then do some test cuts. I was just trying to save a couple bucks by only buying one hole saw for the woofers.

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

I got the speakers in and now i need to start making some holes. Question for the experienced woodworkers out there. I want to get some hole saws to cut out all the driver holes but I'm not sure on the size. For the Goldwood woofers the cone diameter just to the edge of the mounting bracket is 3.75&...

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

Had a pretty productive weekend. Picked up the wood and got all my pieces cut out. Now I just need to wait for all the components to get in. I feel like a kid on christmas eve waiting for all my toys. Originally I was going to paint these with duratex or another black paint to get a flat black look....

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

I may steal your idea of printing out the cad file and working off of that. But i may hijack the plotter in our engineering department so I can print it out fullsize. Can someone confirm the cutout diameters for the Goldwood GW-4028/s and Goldwood GT-302/s. These will be rear mounted so I'm not sure...

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

it may be difficult to find a 1-15/16" hole saw. Can I round either up or down to the nearest 1/8"

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

I think I may buy some holesaws to cut these out. I'll use the router to do the round over afterwards.

Just to confirm the sizes for the cutouts. I will be rear mounting the woofers and tweeters.

Goldwood 4" Woofer - 3.75" cutout

Goldwood 1/2" - 1.9375" cutout

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

Ive tried to do a couple of searches for this but cant find a definitive answer.

For the cutouts on the TLAH is it better to use a router with a circle cutting jig or a set of holesaws? I have a router to use or if I go with the holesaws I have access to mills and drillpresses.

Is the spacer in the cabinet needed or can it all be left open?

Re: TLAHx2 for HT Mains

Question about the cabinet dimensions. In the plans it says that you can lengthen the cab to allow for the 9th driver in the rectangular version. My question is how much can you lengthen the cabinet? My vision would be to have these as floorstanding speakers that would sit next to my HT system. If I...
