CECAA850 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) What adhesive are you using? Those panels were all cut at the hardware store correct? How do they fit/measure? Edited August 6, 2014 by CECAA850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porn_Star Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 What adhesive are you using? Those panels were all cut at the hardware store correct? How do they fit/measure? i used liquid nails and sheetrock screws. yes, the guy at lowes cut them all up for me as my arm saw is messed up at the moment. all peices fit together perfectly so far, i had to sand one of the port suports down just a hair to get it to slide down on the back side. but i cant complain at all!

Porn_Star Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 putting new amps in and new receiver now. Is the back of the amp rack open? yes, i actually cut it open a little more because i was tired of trying to fit wires through a little hole. the back is also open in the middle where i have my computer and my receiver.

Porn_Star Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 How'd you cut the hole for the woofer? i havent gotten that far yet. been working pretty hard at work, then i had to help my parents out a few days ago. i got something up my sleve, which i will most likely send to the next person that decides to build their own boxes as well. thinking about just making it a klipsch community tool! but yall are gonna have to wait to see that part!

fuzzydog Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm surprised that there is no internal bracing on the side panels with this design. Seems like it would be easy to add a rib or two on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porn_Star Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 think he's filming now. hahah! that is funny! actually work load increased at the jobsite, had a few storms come through that blew down 8 trees at my parents house in the past couple of weeks. so i have been hitting up the chainsaw quite a lot. so i had an idea, make a template out of plexiglass and use a flush cut router bit to cut my holes. id get the plexiglass at work, and naturally id cnc myself a perfect 16.75 inch hole in it! well that worked out perfect, aside from the router i borrowed was complete junk! the base kept lowering itself, getting the bearing off of the plexiglass can causing me to cut slightly into it. i managed, and if anyone else needs a perfect circle i will send the template to you if you wish. after of course i build 2 more 18s! here is the template, the router cut that drifted down is minimal as i caught it as it happened. it slightly messed up, but you cant really tell! woohoo! here is the bit if you havent seen a flush cut router bit. and finally my double pane front side. they are glued in now, but i havent taken a pic of them yet. after i cut the inital hole with the template, i used the mdf as my next templates. that way the holes matched perfectly! i am hoping to finish these up friday, as i need space in the garage for a party i am throwing. everyone is invited if you are close!! i am seriously considering having these rhino lined, or linex'ed so i dont have to deal with the mess, and will have a uniformed finish.

Porn_Star Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Great project! Thanks for updating - you have my wheels spinning too! to be honest, the guy at lowes did a great job cutting it up for me. friendly guy, and did a good job. i will only have to sand one or two surfaces to get the top to fit on right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
