First BFM Build Odyssey: Tuba 60

[Bruce Weldy]

I will 100% be doing a driver fit test, driving the RECEX screws in, before adding panels, forgot to mention that.

Predrill the screw holes in the blocks first, before driving the screws in, okay?

Got it.

I've always used 3/4" brads - set to the deepest setting. 1" can go through two thicknesses of ply. Plenty of hold while the PL dries.

All right folks I have returned. I test fitted the driver and installed it with the recex screws. I ran the 20 Hertz test tone. There's a lot of vibrations so it's really quite difficult to determine if the speaker cone surround is hitting the baffle. The sounds that I hear are either the piece of wood or the table vibrating I believe. Visibly I don't really see it touching.

Won't be getting around to next steps till beginning of June.

Did you try the trick of coating the roll with chalk, and then trying it?

I put the order in yesterday so the chalk should arrive today. I was trying to avoid buying another piece of apparatus but don't want to screw this up.
