I like the hurricane or tnut solution. Not being familiar with those items that conclusion didn't come to my mind, so thanks for the suggestion. That was truly helpful. As for how would I tighten the speaker to the baffle as it is now? The bolts are going to be tightened with a lock washer and nut o...

I agree its risky, what the other way to do it? The way its explained in the plans would be a good way to do it :) Thanks, that helps a lot. :clap: Looking at page 9 paragraph 1, both the word screw and bolt is used. So I should have used screws instead of bolts. My mistake. I will correct this soon.

Work continues on the THT! I really anticipate being done by Sunday, I can not wait! Test fitting to make sure I can get the speaker on the bolts inside the access panel before I continue building. http://i.imgur.com/g5m0OJfl.jpg Where I was up to last night before I started working some more. http:...

Love the Lego VW bus prominently displayed - I'm also a Lego collector. I'm more intrigued with the longneck in the foreground . . . :lol: Beer, Legos and BFM builds. All of them are favorites of mine, VW' are also a hobby of mine, but this isn't the forum for that. On the note about sealing around...

Well the placement of the THT is still being discussed. I'm going to trial it around the room for a while until I'm confident there is nothing wrong with the build itself. Then one of the plans is to place it in the wall. Our room is on the second floor and the ceiling follows the slope of the roof ...

So I dove right in to making the THT immediately after finishing the SLA's. I had ordered the recommended driver and the BASH 300w amp a few weeks earlier. I went to my local lumber shop and picked up 3 5'x5' 1/2" sheets of baltic birch. I have reached the point of mounting panel 4 over a few h...

Well, in my excitement and also frustration of getting my SLA's done I didn't take too many pictures. But the wiring wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but still trying on the fingers in the tight area inside the cabinet. After connecting the SLA's and using Audyssey to calibrate my new setup I...

I did read about that for the subs but didn't think about it for these SLA's. I did use regular wood glue on them and tightened down each joint with some kreg jig pocket screws. I'll run some silicone along the interior joints like you suggest, it for sure can only help.

Oh I've made plenty of mistakes. I did a lot of test cutting on extra boards with my plunge router. Then I made my first set of front baffles and they were a half inch short in width. So they are sitting on the side as test pieces to mess with. I hope to have the other SLA glued up and then finished...

I ordered plans for the SLA and THT about 6 months ago with plans to eventually start building them. I found this site from someone posting their own THT build on reddit. I like building my own stuff and have my own woodshop and access to lots of walnut. So this was an easy decision after reading on...
