New Member & Build DR250 In Puerto Rico

[Chris Betancourt]

Hi to everybody, just wanted to say that I'm very excited to be a new member to the forum and ready to start my first built of 6 DR250's and later on will work on the Titan 39's. I work in live sound for over 9 years now and a wood worker and speaker builder for over 16 years. I'll try my best to keep all well informed of my work thoughout the built. Can't wait to finish the first DR250 and ern my ticket to be the next member of the Fitzmaurice family of speaker builders. Thanx and wish me Luck.

Start of Build Aug. 09 2008 in Levittown Puerto Rico.

Hey, nice to see someone from Borinquen posting. I live it Tennessee, but my wife is from PR, and we go there as often as we can to see her family in Guaynabo, Dorado, and Boquerón. Good luck with the builds. I've got a pair of DR250's and a pair of T39's, and I love them! ¡Bienvenido y buena suerte!

Hey David muchas gracias for the welcome. I was in Tennessee about 4 years ago to visit my brother he's in the army and he is a musician too, well we both are. Well I got my speakers 2 days ago and starter cutting yesterday.


Here are the thoat blanks



I started out using a jig to cut the the throat out.





I made a line first to make sure that the cut will be right in place.

Also, it looks like you have the plywood with the paper thin outer veneer. you hav to be careful gluing that stuff. good looking cuts tho!
