    Help with wood choice?

    I made a few enclosures with both Lexan and Plexi the Lexan flexes/vibarates if used for large windows or panels and makes noise, it can not be bent either because it has a memory and wants to flex back , Plexi can be bent with heat and it will hold it's shape lexan scratches easily too

    Help with wood choice?

    that's one of the reasons why those expensive Frugal Horns have a nice looking hardwood faceplate and everything behind is either Baltic Birch or MDF personally I hate working with MDF because of the dust but it's the most acoustically dead and the reason why I use it the most

    Help with wood choice?

    I built a few enclosures out of real hardwood , measure 10 times and cut once because one bad cut can be expensive....LOL hardwood makes a nice looking enclosure but it has to be maintained like a piece of fine furniture .. oiled so it does not dry out

    How can I hit lower notes?

    after a 2nd look at the pic of your amp I noticed the bass boost does not have a variable frequency I bet it is a boost pre set in the 40-45hz area .... if this is turned up to high your sub will crap out on the higher frequencies before you ever get a chance to get enough power down lower I would turn it right down to start

    How can I hit lower notes?

    I see your sub sonic filter is on a factory setting of 25hz..... with the slope your probably loosing all the punch below 30hz turn it off...that pretty much filters out all the low slows I would lower the LPF a bit...get all the voices and upper bass out of the way and concentrate the power on the lower stuff I would also lay the box on it's side and rear fire it see how that does

    breaking in the table saw and getting back into the swing of things with the sub I am using and the design this build is like putting a front end loader into a mail box......... LOL

    Ruined? Hole in sub surround...

    the only caution I would give is stay away from anything with acetone in it (some rubber cements) it will turn a foam surround into mush...a very trajic ending....LOL

    How can I hit lower notes?

    even if you had limited power you should still have some low end I would definitely start with the box , sounds like it is tuned to high

    Ruined? Hole in sub surround...

    personally I would use the White Surround Dampener , it dries clear and stretches with the surround silicone will work but it looks like ass , to stiff and it shrinks when it starts to dry out after time

    Ruined? Hole in sub surround...

    Prosound White Surround Dampener works really well fixing those

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I have an old school H & H Scott tube amp that my dad bought back in the 70's it is very warm sounding , fantastic sound quality for an integrated amp/preamp I even have the original H & H Scott 197B loud speakers that came with it ,had the woofers rebuilt a couple years ago
  18. There is nothing like having 1800 watts rms of headroom on a 10" sub.....LOL

    I think it turned out really good for something I drew up on the shop floor with sidewalk chalk.............. the amp rack will have to be worked on , the holes were drilled for the Soundstream amps

    A Little warm up project

    well the enclosure sounds spot on but the Soundstream REF 1.500 amp is almost useless at 3 ohm so I did some hunting around this morning traded my two REF 1.500 amps for a Crown BPX 2200.1 works perfectly but has some cosmetic damage , happy though I got enough power to launch that 10" thru the roof so it"s all good just waiting for the rain to break and I'll take a couple pics
