rbakedq Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 If you go to the following link you can see how I did the backs. They turned out much better than I expected, and not very hard to do. http://picasaweb.google.com/rbakedq/Khorn60thAnniversaryStyleBacks# Parts list: 8' 2x10, 4x8x3/4" mfd, eye bolts, toggle bolts, screws, weatherstip, felt and paint Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktate Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Did the sound improve...or did you notice? Did you do it so they dont have to be sealed to corner and can move them for beter angle? Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Pretty neat!! Great work!! Are you going eventually put a floor piece on the bottoms. With those side panels and the tail board, that would really seal them bad boys up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbakedq Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Rick; I think much improved. Deeper a tightrer bass. And yes I did it because I wanted to be able to angle them better. I also, was having problems getting them sealed using foam. Groom, In my case, no need for a bottom as I have wood floors. I sealed the bottom of the tail board and the backs with felt.

ZAKO Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Deeper????? Not so... mouth cutoff will control that,,, tighter bass???? not possible,,,SOME puffery here ,,, .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 They might not go deeper, but you will hear more of what's deep. Definitely tighter, because you have them off the walls and the sheetrock isn't resonating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Deeper????? Not so... mouth cutoff will control that,,, tighter bass???? not possible,,,SOME puffery here ,,, .. What if I cut off my vertical dove tail? This would allow re-oreintation and still allow bass woof to hit the corner. Kinda of the way electro-voice did the aristricrats and other folded horns but with no vertical dove tail. Would this eliminate the puffery?

rbakedq Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Dean is correct what I am hearing is more of what is already there. Compared to the memory foam I was using, the bass is tigher with the backs. Compared to nothing, just somewhat tigher. Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbakedq Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Maybe I will just delete the post or the link to the photos. Lets just leave it that backs make NO differece what so ever. I have done other mods and updates, but give the responce from some posters I am not going to post them. I thought I was trying to help others. I am PUFFING now: I think what I came up with is clever, easy to do, low in cost, and accomplishes what false corners and backs are supposed to do. Bye.....

ricktate Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I like the way you fasten them to the speaker via the grill wood nice.As far as puffery well if it works for you what does it matter? Could you post the angles you put on the boards? Did you use foam to seal them to the speaker? Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I see you put top of the flare under the top hat wood was there a reason? If in a corner the flare would be on the outside edge of top hat.Just wondering thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case it's not clear (which on me re-reading I highly doubt it is...) my bong picture wasn't directed at you nor your comments nor was it really in support of Maron's comments....merely an attempt (in vain) to be 'cute'. There's only one really 'contra' comment on this thread although in retrospect I can see how mine might be viewed to be in support of it. I'm sorry if my comment came across as ganging up....wasn't my intent, really. If it was part of an offense to you then I apologize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Been there done that 25 years ago,, a project in futility,,,,what I heard,, what I measured showed a waste of time. I stand by my comment of pufferey and hot air on the project,,,, There is alot of this going on,,on this forum. No offense though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbakedq Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Coytee: I did missinterpret you post sorry. I read it on my Blackberry so it did not come across as you meant. Also, I could not tell the pic was a Bong!!! makes much more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Coytee: I did missinterpret you post sorry No apologies needed by you at all. I'm just glad that we are now on the same page.....now.... shall I pass you the bong? [] I might add that the only reason I thought of that was my recent trip to Istanbul earlier this year. I saw hundreds of these things and actually, wanted to buy one. I've never smoked (anything) in my life so having something like this is more of a converstation piece for me as it would never be used. I then figured it would probably get smashed during my trip home so I passed on getting one (as well as not wanting all my friends to wonder what I've been hiding from them []) By the way... nice looking work on your enclosures!

Nice work. Coytee - A bong might be considered drug paraphenelia in some parts so may not be a good idea to transport accross borders?

Marvel Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 A bong might be considered drug paraphenelia in some parts so may not be a good idea to transport accross borders? As long as it wasn't tested before transporting it. [*-)] The authorities would find nothing...Nice simple way to enclose the backs. I like it. Maron just gets grumpy...
