Its always important to get the most consistent sound out of the mic position as it makes EQ'ing a lot easier. I'm not sure making a hole will help as that is more about sound preference, 2" from the rim is always good as the skin travel is minimised, almost like using a preprepared compressor....

Could you start by saying which mic/mics you were using and their positions.

it's also just a fence, the saw isn't included.

I thought they all counted for free air flow but the first ones were the only that were necessary.

Come in Screamer, get us some pictures of your lego brick army

The holes are to increase the free flow movement of air and to save a little weight. You can probably save up to 70% the weight of the panel.

To do it with a circular saw would be difficult since the depth of cut for the piezos is almost two inches. You could cut the bottom then sand the top with a circular saw. It took me just over 10 minutes to cut 10 piezos with securing the guide. You could use it with a circular saw by clamping it up...

Nothing, I just don't want to get my fingers anywhere near a spinning blade and I don't want to cut anything that isn't secure. Just personal preference. Using the sled requires you to remove the guard which is something else I'm not going to do.

I didn't like the idea of the piezos being loose, I wanted to secure them to something.

That's another setup I would love to hear, but we're all picture junkies, where are the juicy pics of the cabs? I also second the subs question.

This is my prototype for a piezo cutting jig. Take a piezo and measure your first pass width. http://image1.frappr.com/pix1/i/20080709/1/3/3/13344a31a5b7c50ad53736def5b36aed0_large.jpg Cut a strip of ply to that width. http://image1.frappr.com/pix1/i/20080709/b/b/e/bbeb59096503f7684c64fb85e20d4ad20_...

The micro jig looks really good, but I simply don't have the balls to run my saw without the guard. It's a really good reminder though, if the guard is in the way of the cut, the cut is too dangerous.

I'm absolutely terrified of my table saw and it's one of the few things I take my time over. Even if I work half the speed compared to using a circular saw, I can still do it in half the time. I hope this injury hasn't ruined any instrument playing, but if ever you needed a reason for being late, th...

Don't the OT12's look tiny next to the T48's.



I really would like to hear a rig of that size.
