  • Here's the revised plans, with a start at making a "generic" design. I'm not enclosing the base/plinth in future builds, because it's basically making two boxes i.e. too much work :-| Easier just to make the box a little bigger. I'm calling it th…

  • Hi Graham, this one is 312x312x586, which is a bit small for a pair of 10's (the one's I've modeled anyway) and it also has some volume in the base. So for 10's I'd make it a bit larger, 800 long would give you almost 28 liters per driver, as would …
  • MALfunction said: Noise OK, measurements. In red here is the nearfield measurement (one side, the absolute magnitude is not significant, only relative): This alarmed me at first. The box is a bit on the small side but not th…

  • GeeEmm said: I think I want one of these behind my HT chairs. Sounds good so far, can't test properly because Gopi is watching a TV show. I'm going to draw up the plans for a pair of 12" next. You could make it a fair bit longer than this…
  • Woof woof Stuff this Done! Works :-b
  • More advantages: you can't accidentally short the amp out. You can't accidentally connect your speakers in reverse polarity (unless you make the cable wrong).
  • GeeEmm said: Fer chris' sakes John, hurry up! Yeah yeah. Here's a fascinating picture of my first ever Speakon cable! Yes it's short... Took me all evening. Network cable is cheap but sort of a pita to actually use. Not the spea…
  • Hah you might be right. I'm not giving up! Hi Paul, didn't know there were non-spiky yuccas but this is definitely not one of them!
  • MALfunction said: Paint it black :-b Hah Like most of us, some angles are better than others... Well, that's it for finishing. Now to finish it! Went and got some speakons yesterday.
  • Very funny Seano I'm wondering if this really is killing it, but it certainly seems to be dying... (this is maybe 3-4 weeks after the deed)
  • The rest of that thread is hilarious BTW (well, it might be if you've tried to kill one and failed... And I found this: http://bearsbutt.com/2011/08/18/how-to-kill-a-yucca-plant/ So my working theory is that if you cut the head off it you'll j…
  • Oh dear, this cracked me up: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/peren/msg0718130510862.html "If it's wrapped itself into the wall, stern measures will be needed. To ensure yucca elimination: 1) Take down the wall and dispose of it wel…
  • Weelll.... you know, I think it's coming up OK, considering. The flash really highlights where the "bonus" glue is. Probably need to use some sort of sealer on the edges as well next time. Tomorrow I think I'll go over it with 800 grit and a …
  • Hah! That was from the bottling day? Stoopid rain has put a spanner in the finishing works. That's my excuse anyway.
  • It's a good plan! In the meantime, waiting for these things to dry out so I can give them another sand and coat. Phew, think I better put them outside. They're looking better though.
  • Well done :-b Send him an invite to the site!
  • Food dye? Interesting. I'd like something that makes more of the grain for the next one. I'm wondering if fermented grape juice would work - "one for me, one for the subwoofer" I'm thinking I might not muck around with binding posts and inst…
