Matthews Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 enough about baseball The costly badges have arrived. Excluding a few splinters from hauling wood, I finally get some hands on. It took some serious scouring to bring these little guys back. Near perfect now - WooHoo - 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Line the cabinet with acoustic sound dampener if you want to reduce resonances. I can pick "sound dampening" material from my local car audio shop. I believe it is a cut/peel/stick product. Is this something I should seriously consider? The idea and theory in my mind seems right. However in actual application, having some doubt. Once I have the polyurethane finish complete, not going to want to take these babies apart, just to remove the damping product. Any clues to application appreciated - kinda torn about which way to go... edit: 6 inch port tubes will be installed with interior flares.

A few options are: You can shop around for better prices, just giving examples here. Eggcrate foam. Self adhesive foam. Acoust-x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a luxury we can afford that the standard factory installs do on the cheap. Use foam for ported applications and Polyfil for sealed. My CF-4's use 2 pieces per group of 3/4" foam sheets for a total of 1.5" loosely placed in the cabinet (no adhesive used).

ZEUS121996 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 They do look great! I thought Mookie was going to cut them and you do the rest. Matt are you going to at least connect the speaker cables or is he doing that also? :D Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 LOL, Mark Yes, I am going to drill a hole and connect a wire or two. Can't wait to get hands on these babies, still MUCH to do before they are ready to play. WooHoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Using CNC machines is cheating. Jealous! They look fantastic.you are absolutely right, I apologize, I will not use it anymore. In my defense, I only used the cnc for the motorboard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get hands on these babies, still MUCH to do before they are ready to play. WooHoo! It appears all the holes are already drilled. So you are connecting 4 wires ( 2 for each speaker) AND connecting the other ends to an amp or receiver? On a more important note. Mookie, how much does a CNC cost for a basic model? TY Mark Cancel this thought, it's way out of my league Edited October 1, 2015 by ZEUS121996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieStl Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Don't underestimate Matt's input. These are plywood boxes right now. A long way from pretty. He has sanding and finishing and rewiring to do. Me, I'd slap a coat of Duratex on them and call it done. Getting them to what Matt is looking for is hard work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
