MBarber25's Build Log

[mbarber25 29]

started to build a new box today.. about the same size (4.0^3) but the tuning is lower and will be around 32 hz. also it's made out of 3/4" MDF unlike my current one that is 1".. but the new one has a double baffle unlike the other.

i made pretty good progess but once the sun went down i kept making stupid little mistakes so i'm done until tmm. hoping to have it done by late tmm afternoon but we will see.

what????

mhm i just turned up the vol. knob for like 10 seconds and it kinda cut out came back in and then went out for good.

there was a burning smell but not the coil smell so it musta been glue... i took it out and free aired it and it wouldn't play unless i pushed down on the cone.. and even then it barely stayed on... so what do you think happened?

[mbarber25 29]

can somebody tell me what probably happened?

[mbarber25 29]
