Be sure to break in your driver before installing, i had mine on sweep for days and still noticed the volume increasing over the next week or so. Not that its a big deal but its kind of irritating having to keep adjusting down the volume between tracks.
-
I'd get the larger sub (A3-300) and religate the Sub-10 to another room.
I agree, its hard enough to get one sub dialed in correctly let alone trying to integrate 2 different models in the same system.

A few weeks ago i finally got around to damping my K401 horn with damping spray, what a difference a few bucks and a little time makes.
Here is what i used, 1 can per horn.

There is probably other options out there but i had to order other stuff from there anyways.
I may also use this on the inside & outside of my LaScala bass bins when i get a chance to make my braces.
Anybody have a brace template to make things easier ?
-
That may leave a scar.
Hope you heal quick, try to keep your spirits up.

Don't be shy with the PL Premium, nobody will ever see the inside anyways. [Y]

Ahhh the Yankees, i was part of the club for some time, i graduated and then went to work for Siemens and became their main donor.

$35 + shipping will get you a decent Foster plate amp to power your sub 10.

What a piss poor list. [N]

It does not work well, you just lose your soundstage.
Stacking is no better.

If my audio goodies were a bit smaller it would be a good option but its too much work to bring the assortment of refrigerator size cabinets with me, i will have to have my own party sometime soon i guess.
Maybe my order of party goodies will be in this week so we can all have a better time at the event.
Probably will not be early, i am having a tooth pulled in the afternoon but when thats done i will head out.
-
If there is room for 2 more me and my long time friend Gary would like to attend, it is right down the street from me anyways.
What mods have been done to your Chorus II's ?

The problem with pre-cutting your panels is that the stock is never the same thickness between brands and such. This means being just 1/16" off in stock thickness equates to 3/16" by the time you are installing your 3rd round of panels so be cautious on your pre-drilling & pre-cutting ideas, you may be shooting yourself in the foot.

dtel, you found my singles wanted ad i see.
Dosen't make me sound desperate does it ? [{]

Unless it's rough sawn stock i would not bother with sanding a thing until its done, belt sanders are not for finish work anyways.
There is no reason you could not use nails & dowel rods, just countersink the nails as needed then drill the holes for the dowel rod into the same hole to get your desired look.

Jason thats the way to go was it a white van down by the river, I like that receiver. I just have a pair of jvc for the garage maybe someday I can find some hips for the garage.
LOL, no river but dam close to Lake Michigan, the American Acoustic 4 ways were freebies, they sound pretty good after sealing the cabinet properly.
The Pioneer is a decent unit, perfect for garage/workshop tunes anyways.

Didn't think I'd have to sand the middle parts again...
As for the rest, I'll read between the lines then... too subtle for me!
Why would you sand the middle parts in the first place ? I don't understand.
Just don't want to confuse you with my way of thinking, thats why i recommended following the plans is all.
Use nails, it just makes things much easier, pre-drilling every screw with 2 different size bits just seems like way too much work for holding your parts together until the glue dries.
-
Don't let anyone tell you how a speaker sounds. Only you can determine if it is for you or not.
Sounds about right.
If it were my $$$ Heresy III's would be on the top of my list for a smaller room but that's just my opinion.
If LaScala's fit in the room the room, the room is not too small. [^o)]

My very best system.
Pioneer SX 780
The finest white van speakers money can buy, pardon the garage mess. [:$]

Belgian beer is awesome, love the Hacker Pschorr too.
-
Some of the older model woofers used a surround adhesive that would slowly make its way to the bottom of the driver.
I have seen this before on some Altec drivers and rotating the driver would keep the mess in check. I'm sure this is what folks are speaking of anyways.
Will try to find a pic. of this.

No need to sand your stock twice, wait until the build is complete then do your sanding.
As for the assembly i answered your question already. [

If your decision is this hard for you just flip a coin, always works for me.
Momma always says make a list of pro's and con's and the choice will be clear but this is too much work for me, the good O'l coinflip never fails. [Y]

I built mine my way but i have been a woodworker since i could lift a hammer. My grandfather was a great teacher and encouraged me to build at a very young age, no power tools until maybe 10 or so but you get the idea.
My advice is to follow the plans so you don't get lost or confused.
Get as far as you can each day being carefull not to skip a step or get ahead of yourself.
Personally i just ripped everything to size and used end scraps for the supports but this may not be the best advise for your first build.
-
You most likely will get the P.L. where you don't want it, just sand it off. You will need to sand anyways if you want the project to look nice. I had a good 25 + hours of sanding in my build.
Build your project complete, then worry about the dowel rods or inlays, this can all be done after completed.

No big deal, a little measuring never hurts i guess.
I would love the 510 combo but the funds are just not there at this point in time.
