Re: Truck Tuba by a Teenager

I feel you on the college kid budget. I've got dual TT in my dorm, which is luckily big enough to fit the beast. But it's made of MDF.... was a pain to get up 4 flights of stairs. But oh so worth it. Luckily I live on my fraternity hall (we don't have greek houses on my campus) so people rarely comp...

Re: SLA and dual table tuba

Didn't have the plans yet, but yea I already switched to the gt302. Going to order everything tomorrow. And I realize two subs are better than one, just not sure if I will have enough room for two. Plus, it would be easier to just do one build. I'll clear that up with my roommate and we'll see.

Re: TLAH for my HT Mains

Are these the aura ns525s? I'm planning on building a pair of SLAs with them, what tweeter did you choose to go with it?

Re: T18 Build

Well, it weighs somewhere around 50 lbs. And definitely not the greatest craftsmanship ever due to the lack of access to proper equipment. But it works like a charm, and I'm happy 8) one last picture. I think it actually looks pretty dang good in that pic, low quality cell phone camera hides all the...

Re: T18 Build

Nah, not yet. My school requires living on campus, at least until senior year. So I get to come home for summer, at least I get free food :)

And I'll be finishing it soon, a coat of paint is exactly what it will be haha. Just plain black

Re: T18 Build

Well, I fixed the leaks in the access cover. And was promptly told to turn it down. At least I think thats what the threat to cut the wires meant... :roll:
Right now I'm not liking the fact that my dad works at home, and his office is about 10 ft from the garage/man cave :wall:

Re: T18 Build

Thanks for the placement tip, I'll get it positioned properly once I put it in my dorm. But for now, my parents don't like me turning it up too much anyways, so positioning doesn't matter a whole lot at the moment.

Re: T18 Build

So when I woke up this morning, I checked the weather and saw there was rain from noon til about 4 or 5. Since I have to do all my cutting in our driveway, my dad definitely won't let me do it in the garage, I decided I would just draw the lines. 1 o'clock rolls around, a bit cloudy, but no rain. I ...

Re: A new BFMer from Houston

Us Texans say we have a great country. When doing so, we're usually referring to the country of Texas.
Born and raised in Texas, amen to that brother. I had the misfortune of being moved due to my dad's job :( , but TN isn't so bad.. Definitely moving back if I get the chance :D
