Duke Spinner Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 what ever was the outcome of your Knock-Down Cab Kit, BEC.......???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I have had a few sets of the cabinets built for people, but so far, they have all been completed sets with just the motor board left not attached. That allows the bass cabs to be shipped as two slightly over two foot cubes and one flat pack of two motor boards. I am sure the cabinet shop would be willing to build them without completing the assembly, but likely the price would not be different. Just easier to ship. Now, that I think about it, imagine what a single box with a set of knocked-down Cornscalas in it would weigh. Wow!! Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Awesome job JC. I see you've found another good use for the K-401. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Beautiful work and room man! Love the objet d'art on the mantle? Could it be late 20th century? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Yes, that K401 looks great on the mantle. I need to find a job or a home for that thing. My wife won't let me keep it there for long. I am trying to figure out a way to make a custom center channel with it. Thanks for the complement guys. I have the grill frames built for the top and bottom sections. I just need the fabric now. Ralph at Duracrest must be on vacation or something. I can seem to get a hold of him. I really showed these babies off last weekend. Starting to like them more and more. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, can't say I ever attempted that one. I did a few "donuts" with my car in the lawn. Man, still can't get a hold of Ralph at Duracrest. Hopefully he is back next week.

IB Slammin Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 ........Now that's slicker than snot in a champagne glass........ Gilbert, That is a truly disgusting expression. Even from a B.A resident. Will PM you with a sophisticated Arkie alternative.

DrWho Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sorry, just had to ask... Who is this "Bully" in front of the Union book store? Are you guys talking about UIUC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 It is a Bulldawg that sits in front of this building. I have done "donuts" on that lawn[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Just a few more pics to savor. The grill frames were made with 1/2 hardwood strips. I used 3/4 inch #4 screws to fasten together. I also used Gorilla Glue (only on the HF grill frame "front corners") which expands like crazy and sands off well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 I didn't use the 1/2 inch strips on the HF section corners. Instead I used hardwood very small strips. I think about 1/4 inch. This was just to provide vertical "sturdiness" and I didn't want to obstruct "any sound". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 You can see here where I predrilled holes for the #4 screws and then screwed. I didn't used any Glue on the Bass bin frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 I bet I would get a lot of votes to leave the fabric/grill off the top section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwc Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Close up. I didn't originally plan to make the Top section inards perty. My wife wouldn't go for this look. Gotta build the top section grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Mint! I guess you got your grille cloth from Duracrest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
