As Chris said, it's not in the plans, but it's been done before by others. I did one of my DR250's that way, and found it a little more difficult to get the curved back material in place, but it greatly simplifies things overall if you're doing a squared back. I am also planning on using sheet metal for the curved backs as Stan (SoundInMotionDJ) and others have done. I'm sure it would be easier to use 1/8" bendy plywood like the plans specify, but I don't have any of that readily available, and I've got lots of store credit at Lowe's from things I've returned over the last year while doing other house projects. And since it has worked for others, I'm going to give it a shot.DaveK wrote:You're doing something interesting with the butt cheeks. Is that semi-circular cleat a recent change in the plans or an innovation of your own?
Thanks. I'm definitely going to get these babies done! But after I finish, I'm going to take a very LONG break to enjoy what I've built.Scott Brochu wrote:Very neat build! well documented.
Break?? get'ter done!
Like you, the only time I have to work on them is at night and early morning before everyone is up. And it's kind of hard to run a saw while the rest of the neighborhood is asleep. 
Nice. I wish I had that luxury.Scott Brochu wrote:I live in the country so kit is not uncommon for me to run the table saw/router/whatever at 11/12/1am.
I'd love to do a grill, but I'm on a shoestring budget. I don't even have the cash to buy Duratex if the amount I have on hand isn't enough.Scott Brochu wrote:Are you doing a grill? I plan on a metal 1/4" hole grill with fabric behind it with DR 200 etched into the wood before painting.
That was Chris Allen. You're right it looked very nice!Scott Brochu wrote:Someone did some 39's that I love with the Titan 39 etched on the side. Very distinguished and thought out.
That'll last you a few weeks, maybe even a couple months. Then you'll be wondering if 2 of the new J110 wouldn't be a nicer bass rig than a single Omni 10. Also, I notice you don't have any monitors listed in your sig. You really need 4xWH8 to go with the 4xDR200 and 4xT39 to make a complete PA.David Carter wrote:after I finish, I'm going to take a very LONG break to enjoy what I've built
I was in the same boat - Lowes gift cards made stuff from there "free" in terms of the checking account (and the ability of SWMBO to find out the final total...David Carter wrote:I am also planning on using sheet metal for the curved backs as Stan (SoundInMotionDJ) and others have done.
