All I know is I sure wish they would offer them kits again!

Believe it or not, I have seem them come up for sale here and there.  I want to say just last year I seen a non assembled kit come up for sale down in Florida somewhere.

Progress so far, all outer dados cut, all screw holes pre drilled, one complete unit mocked up. Just need to cut the mouth opening, access opening, driver cutouts (which I am dreading).Disassemble and re assemble with glue. Then on to assembling the second one. I wish I had an easier way to cut the holes for the drivers or should I say an accurate way as the last two attempts didn't measure up.

Now that I understand more how the access panels mount, I wish I would have stopped my dados on the edge to give me more meat to screw them to. Now I will have to get creative, but dont think it will be too much of an issue. 379673844436f3d1fc738019387d4674.jpg33838cf4650c41063cdbdbdddb3edb1c.jpg

I wish i had this drawing earlier when I was creating my driver access panel, no big deal.  Now I have them here so I can easily access for future needs or for reference for anyone else making these. 

 

[mention=11944]Wardsweb[/mention] Do you recall having any issues attaching the last large panel after the others have been glued and dried?  During my mock up this afternoon it was a bit of struggle getting the last large panel on, I am sure this is due to me not having the ability to  CNC and everything being close to perfect.  It did seem to help once I cut my outer two panels for access and exit, things were easier to shift and line up, maybe final assembly wont be so bad.

guess it's not the best pic. Amp + to driver 1 +. Driver 1 - to driver 2 -. Driver 2 + to amp - is how they should be.

Negative from driver 1 goes to negative of driver 2.

This is the whole reason I bump this thread,  I want to make sure I get this correct this time.

These have to run out of phase, so they work together, in the same direction.  I will post the instruction from the factory manual, when I get home this evening.

There she is boys, just need to mount the drivers and finish the access panel. Ran into an issue when assembling the last big plate, but at the last minute I was able to reach in an knock it into place. Curious to know what the difference is between the wiring, guess I have until Wednesday to figure it out.

 

One quick note, I need to make sure I do a better job at cutting and installing the batting. One thing I will say since I followed some of my tips and tricks from before, things did go together alot smoother and my edges are alot more flush. Just have to assemble the second one then I will paint.

 

At least for now I can focus on getting this into my basement and tuning it this weekend.

No doubt the DST10 is a more superior sub, that will play lower, but 4 of the LAB12TH could trump 2: DST10s... ???

My Super Tapped Horn will beat both of them. Have not owned them all, but most of the major ones.

 All the clones I've seen were series.

These are in series. The drivers are 4 ohms. Referring to the Spud with the Tang Band drivers, not the DTS-10, which I prefer wired in series also. BUT both of them need reverse ELECTRICAL polarities to compensate for the reverse PHYSICAL polarity of the backwards cone.
