Upfront Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks guys, I'll see if I can get some of these at nubco or similar over the next few days. The drivers actually come with some short lengths of threaded rod but I'd like to use some button head, hex socket bolts. These sit a little nicer on the horn mount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioBrian Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Lovely pics, Linc. Good enough for the cover of Belle magazine! I'm a bit concerned about their side-to-side stability, especially after those heavy-looking drivers are added. Guess the dogs or whatever can't get near them in the shed, though. I'd be looking at outriggers, or a more triangular shape for the bases. Thousands would be clamouring for such attractive "paper weights", if they only knew. And that's without hearing them.

Thanks Brian. Outfitters are a good idea. I did nearly bump them over tonight. Luckily I haven't been able to mount the drivers yet (bolts tomorrow if the have stock) so they weren't too top heavy. With the next pair I'm hoping to cast in a mounting bracket or mounting points for a bracket. I thought I had all that sorted but now I have a pair set up properly I will need to rethink a few small parts. Very happy so far but still more work to do.

Hippy Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 You live in Tassie and you put ply for feet? Why not use a nice lump of something local.... Bloody nice looking job you've done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upfront Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thanks guys. Still only prototyping at the moment. Fleshing out ideas. Very enjoyable so far. @Hippy your right about the timber here. The thought at the moment (constant state of flux due to changing box shape etc) is to veneer the final boxes. So I'm sure the local timber will sneak it's way in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upfront Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Won't be up and running tonight as I only have a few minutes spare... But they all count! Hoping to get all the drivers in/on and sorted and some preliminary work in the MiniDSP while short people are asleep tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BioBrian Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Wow! So the bolts worked, you filled in a couple of spare minutes, and not a lot of sleep for short people tonight, by the looks? Fab - and love the wine rack/diffuser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab - and love the wine rack/diffuser. Thank mate. Really happy with the finish so far. The horn mount needs work but that's for another day. The diffuser was just a bit of a trial. Really need to finish it! Thanks for the reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
