Re: Maslow CNC good enough? (or what CNC machine do you use)

I'm hoping router bits are available at the angles needed or/and you simply set the router that way... i'm not a big expert woodworker, everything is vague since high school woodshop. ? They already make bits at an angle, but that won't achieve what you want. The panels in these designs almost alwa...

Re: using a home theater amp... for PA and music instrument use?

Aside from the input connectors being different, the speaker output connectors are different too. That makes hooking up input cables and speaker cables a pain everytime you set up as they don't match to pro gear. On the speaker connectors you would have to be very careful about the polarity as it w...

Re: why dont we have better cooled speakers? (fins, liquid) also speaker temp indicators??

I remember reading years back about some arguments from the 12pi guy with his finned design extracting more power out of LAB12 drivers and thinking his arguments actually made alot of sense... They made sense if you stuff the driver into a chamber that's too small and try to extract every last dB y...

using a home theater amp... for PA and music instrument use?

This may sound dumb or it may be perfectly okay but i'm just curious... what are the fundamental differences between amplifiers intended for PA type usage and home stereo stuff? I'm aware the latter can sometimes have optimistic ratings, or not tolerate heat as well (the latter likely assistable wit...

Re: Maslow CNC good enough? (or what CNC machine do you use)

How have I never seen this?! The difficulty with CNC and BFM cabs is all the angles. You'll still need to tablesaw all of them, or change bits and have custom cutters. This though is cost effective enough that if you're doing multiple cabs it will make all the cutouts, braces etc stupid easy. Brill...

Maslow CNC good enough? (or what CNC machine do you use)

So maybe people on here have already posted or know of this but this machine is part of what inspired my reinterest in building speakers here: http://www.maslowcnc.com/ It made me want to ask, should that be fully capable of building every cabinet in the plans? I wouldn't be getting it only to make ...
