Good looking pile of wood, and to think it will sing to you one day. 2 hours ago, tom1066 said: And from all the good things I read about these type bass bins with the big 402 horn, it might be the final step.

Not that I have the top end to go with something like this (yet) but its on my radar, always looking for the next step. And from all the good things I read about these type bass bins with the big 402 horn, it might be the final step. Lynnville is only 150 miles from me. Once these are finished I wonder if I will be able to hear them from my basement in Birmingham. I hope so. Since Paul Wilbur Klipsch himself, once described ME as such (in front of Jim Hunter), it looks like DaveA and I have found a new "VICTIM." LOL. Quote
babadono Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Didn't I hear someone say the smaller the room the bigger the horn you need? Maybe not those exact words but close. Something about polars and room nodes. Quote

LOL. Just a casual observation.. People who build speakers for a living have lots of time to..... wait for it......build speakers. Quote

ClaudeJ1 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Oh, boy, now you're only 6 months behind. This is encouraging. Great progress! Quote

rockhound Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Oh yeah!! Hope you got somr long clamps and a bunch of them lol. Quote
glens Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 No. All you need is some white glue and packing tape, I've seen the video. Quote

Well I have lots of wood screws and a gallon of glue. The top will be screwed on from the inside and the bottom will be screwed on from the outside. When flipped over I doubt they will ever be seen under the Duratex I am going to use. Quote

I had a look at those thin wire like nails used by many and unless you had a ton of clamps to go with them don't see how they would hold anywhere what a screw would do while glue sets up. Quote
glens Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 You could further delay the end of the project by setting the screws in bored holes, then glue in some wood plugs atop them. "Make it impossible to disassemble" is another motto. 1 Quote
HPower Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 Of my 8-10 speaker builds, I have exclusively used PL glue secure via Kreg Jig pocket screws. I rarely have need to use clamps. Quote
