EdwardHimself Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 So I managed to get a couple more pieces done; the top and bottom panels, the "inner top" panel and one of the support braces. That brings us up to 9 in total, leaving 8 to go. I held a couple of bits together to see how they would fit and unfortunately the side panels appear to be about 2 mm wider than the top and bottom. No big deal though, I'll just have to plane them down a bit when I have finished mocking it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You're probably not far wrong! Speaking of mock-up: Obviously I hasten to add I didn't actually screw or glue anything down for this mockup, hence why it is all a bit off. Just a quick assembly to see if we're getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yay, some action! Nice work. Now stop arguing with everyone in 'Daily Annoyances' and get on with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ok so I got a shipment of parts today: This is basically everything else I didn't already have that I needed to finish the cab: handles, cable, tweeter and crossover. Also in a seperate shipment I got myself another router bit since the other one snapped. A close up of the tweeter and crossover unit.

EdwardHimself Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Done a bit of work today. Got the last 2 of the supporting battens cut out. Also cut out the hole for the crossover: As I said before, this is intended for vertical mounting, hence why it is the orientation that it is. I then put the panel in and drew round it. Tomorrow, I am going to put a 2 mm recess in around the line so it will sit flush with the back once everything is done. There was a small bit of wood that was designed to stiffen the speaker cabinet. I was going to cut it out separately, but I decided the scrap bit of wood from the crossover cutout would do the job . So now I've not just the speaker panel and another supporting piece to cut out and we're done with the cutting out of parts.

EdwardHimself Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Well it's pretty plain to see that no-one on here really gives a sh*t about this build but here are a few more pictures at any rate: spraying the black into the porting. starting on the fabric upholstery Everything mounted and fitted. The only thing that is needed now is a... grille. I was slightly disappointed that it was only 4 mm hole size, especially compared to the eden which looks about twice that but what can you do? The sound is ok, really though I think I need to break the speakers in before I can comment on the sound. Here's a video anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejvgao7_LUE&feature=plcp Edited August 8, 2012 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Hughes Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Fair play. I'd have probably lost a few fingers before I got this far, so I'm well impressed with this. Very cool indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a bang-up job. Great vid, too - I particularly like the way the bass makes the camera vibrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I love that camo look, never seen a cab with that finish before. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
