Re: Dual THTLP's

I might just make them anyway. It won't be much work and I think it will look better.

Re: Dual THTLP's

Ill make them out of 2x6's and some 1/2' ply then screw it into the base. thats the highest i can get them because there will be...

They're fine.
Thanks Bill. Would I gain anything by getting them closer to the ceiling? The risers wouldn't be too much trouble to make.

24"

I thought about making risers for them. How tall should I make them? Basement ceiling is a couple inches taller. Was thinking 6-8".

Re: Dual THTLP's

thanks guys! i have seen the nice table tubas done as tables and storage cabinets. These are much too big to pass for that, so i thought to myself what would be the best way to get these to blend into a room? Answer: Make them look like part of the architecture!!! they should blend even better in a ...

Re: Dual THTLP's

I personally would'nt go smaller then 14 awg / 2,5 mm2 Why? 16ga is sufficient for even a 30 foot run, let alone a couple of feet inside the cab. i used 16ga inside the cab. ill go with 12 outside just because the runs will be longer(up and across the ceiling and down) and its what ill use to all m...

Definitely has that h...

Re: Dual THTLP's

They are mechanically finished but cosmetically a mess. Lots of bondo. I do like that it dries super fast. I used it to fill the holes as well. The vinyl tubing trick works great. I could actually hear some of the leaks without the tube. The joint that I forgot to glue seems to be fine Just running ...

Re: Dual THTLP's

Calculate the total run from the amp to the speaker, use the same wire within and without. http://www.bcae1.com/images/swfs/speakerwireselectorassis...
