Hey guys, I just got finished up building a T60 for my fraternity. It sounded so good, and everyone was so impressed that I convinced them all to fund building another one! Anyways, this wont be the best build thread, but rather a bunch of pictures that I took along the way. My friend that was helping me with it kept forgetting what it was called, but after hearing how much I talked it up and how big it was, he nicknamed it the "Boom Tube". I liked the name so I ran with it, and we went ahead and painted the back of the cab yellow, then taped off some stuff and duratexed over it. Turned out real good, plus it dresses it up a bit since its the the side you will see most. Figured I would go ahead and throw up some pics so that others can see them. I will attach the pictures in the next post

I don't like the name boom tube. tubas and titans are great because they don't boom, rather they hit the whole spectrum. bandpass boxes boom. haha sorry to kill the name! i think a better name would be he who shall not be named. a box like that needs respect

Ok I cant figure out how to add pictures correctly. I have them on my computer and on flickr. I tried searching but couldnt find instructions. Can someone help me?

I know how to manually upload them, but the file size of a single picture is more than 200kb

You used to be able to upload to bfm as an attachment. Might have to resize.

Yeah I understand what you are saying. Band pass is quite boomy and loud, but not clear quality sound. I was really impressed with the clean bass that comes out of the box. But, everyone else just thinks its really loud and think it booms. So Boom Tube is a great name within our house.

Re-size them. How can you make a fake ID if you don't know how to use photo shop?

Re: T18 Home Theatre
For photo upload, in the "reply" box just below the "submit" button is a box called "upload attachment". >click on browse >search your computer >select the file/image >add the file. Note: make sure that you have resized the photo as per the limit on this site.

I know how to use photoshop, pretty decently, I just didnt know if there was a better way to do it rather than opening up each file individually.

Thanks, I knew the process just didnt know the best way to resize them. I will go ahead and do it in a little while though.
