Title: Re: cables Post by AudioNirvana on 04/26/06 at 13:56:28 Sorry if these pics turn out huge! Right, this is how i wired mine, its just an idea, but worked really well: ![]() I cut gaps in the bottom of the baffle as you can see, then ran the wire round the very edges and into holes in the top of the triangle. The gaps my be cut very tight, and you have to block them with something. I used silicon and heavy duty filler in the end, and the gaps are still plugged solid. Also having binding posts makes it so much easier placing the sub, and transporting it. |

Title: Re: cables Post by J_Rock on 05/03/06 at 20:09:43 I would build one in a second if I could find 3/4 inch plexiglass or clear acrylic. I want to show of the 10s I got so Bad.... |
Title: Re: cables Post by DothisClueless on 05/04/06 at 03:54:37 If you have anything BUT a box that is perfectly designed and either has the excact tuning you want or has a beautifully flat curve, then I would recommend building right away. These boxes are so forgiving! I built mine and I made quite a few mistakes and mine still sounds 100 times better than my box prior to this one. :D |
Title: Re: cables Post by J_Rock on 05/04/06 at 03:57:37 O, I already have a WO for my car, but I have two Dayton HF that might end up in a 36 x 36 version. I just really want to see the subs pumping.... |
Title: Re: cables Post by AudioNirvana on 05/04/06 at 10:37:12 J_Rock take a look at this website: http://www.sdplastics.com/sdplas2.html They seem to have thick acrylic. Would be awsome to build a see through WO. But you would have to brace it good. What would you cut it with? Ive used acrylic before now, up to 1/4 inch, and you have to cut it really slow to stop it melting by friction heat. |
