driver mounting?

#1 Post by himhimself »

Are the driver mounting screws intended to go all the way though the mounting blocks on the back of the baffle? I wouldn't think it would matter, but wanted to ask. Got an inch of material there and figured best holding power would be to have threads all the way through it. Can't quite tell the intent from the language in the plans. thanks

4xOtop J-array (Beta12, melded/straight piezos)
Truck Tuba (MCM)
Next up: 2xJack12 or family of table tubas

The depends on the length of the screws and thickness of the driver frame you're using. The gasket seal must be airtight, so if they go through they go through, and if they don't they don't.

Thanks, appreciate the quick replies. Will pick some up on the way home tonight and get the drivers fitted and tested.
