Good to hear that it turned out to be a succes. Always nice to pick the fruits of your labour. :clap: Looks like a quality build. Do you have any close up pictures of the subs & tops? I did find a couple of pics of the tops that aren't too terrible. http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o80/jkandr...

I have a piece of plywood in the garage reserved for a v-plate, but didn't have time to make it yet. We were in a bit of a rush to get set up, and were more concerned with getting them in a location where they wouldn't be messed with than absolute best sound or output. I wasn't too worried about out...

Unfortunately all of my close-up pictures have been in crappy lighting with my cell phone, so they look pretty terrible. Really not much to see. Maybe later this week I'll try to take some pics of them with my DSLR.

Thursday night I got to give the system it's real maiden voyage with the youth band. It was in a smallish room - maybe 1500 sqft or so. Sounded OK in there (just OK). Didn't get a chance to do any tweaking or anything. The subs were definitely kicking, so I was mostly just happy that everything was ...

Plan for things to take 50 percent longer than you expect and you'll give yourself the time to compensate for inevitable mistakes/delays. Chances are hd will be out of quarter round and Leland will be on backorder for Speakon screws. I'm happy that you finished your cab without having to revisit th...

As expected, I had a visit from Uncle Murphy. I just ran out of time on the assembly, so I only got the mains assembled. It wasn't the end of the world - tonight was just some background music in the parking lot while kids jumped around on the inflatables. The good news is that the mains seem to wor...

Finished spraying last night. Turned out pretty well. The trap boxes turned out a little better, as I did a lot more prep work to those boxes. Still, the Titans turned out nice. My main goal was to have them not look like "speakers some guy built in his garage", and I think I succeeded. Ev...

I made a couple of adjustments today. First, I took down the subs and just sprayed the tops. That gave me a lot more space to work. I also added a few more lights, which helped a lot. The tops look great after a second coat - exactly what I was going for. I let the tops hang and dry for a few hours ...

Last night I finally got started spraying the cabs. I learned quite a lot... 1. The texture spray gun works great... some of the time. Once I figured out how to identify when a clog was starting, that helped a lot. Cleaning those out is kind of a pain. Someone had mentioned putting plastic over the ...

JA, you really have done a good job on those cabs, hope you can get in all the driver mounting screws, as with my first build I was not able too. But I wont get get fooled again, no,no, bump, bump boom. Yikes, I hadn't even thought about that :conf: Hopefully I can get them all in. Looking at it, t...

So this is the second time I've seen something in a T39 build that makes access to the driver so much easier, but the plans didn't show it this way. The access for his drivers is in the front, and the driver is recessed into the panel rather than mounted from behind and accessed from the top. I had...

The cabs are looking great! Nice pics of the spraybooth. It's always cool to see how others "set up the mess" in their own space...I get tired of seeing my own mess, so it makes me feel better to see your mess too. LOL! I like how you suspended the cabs with a plank of wood through the ca...

Don't you love it when nothing goes to plan? I was hoping to be doing final assembly today, but instead I'm just about to start spraying. I guess the positive note is that I have the woodworking all finished. All the sanding, filling, sanding, etc took longer than expected, and I ended up with less ...

Sometimes being a nerd pays off ;) I had a really productive day yesterday. Despite having to make a couple extra trips to the store for supplies, I managed to get the second sub almost completely assembled. I kind of felt like I was rushing, but it seems to have turned out well. I ran out of steam ...

The curved braces are not in the T48 plans. :( Maybe by the time it comes to cut them out, I'll have enough free time to figure out how to make them myself. I can cut almost any parts and put'em together great; just don't ask me to design anything. Stick figures are difficult for me to draw...that ...
