    Getting started on my rings for the sub and front midbass. The sub ring will stay MDF. I will translate the front rings to HDPE for a weather proof door install.

    I got these coming in the mail:



    And these sitting ready to be installed for a midbass show down. Who is going to win?

    welder was on my short list after I stopped being a poor university student. Gas welder went short-list when I started gunsmithing. TIG just dropped now that my coworker plans to buy one to tig himself a massive copper brew tun for whiskey making

    I enjoy making metal stick to metal. Sometimes it almost doesn't look like a disaster, too.

    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Dyn vs Audison.

    So I just got a present from Chris in the mail. Damn these suckers area pretty. Oh, and huge!






    Just for a comparison. The MW182 is much larger than the AP8. This photo doesn't seem to capture the difference.



    Supposed to have some great weather this weekend. Let's see how far we can get. No if my ResoNix order would ever come in...

    What are the white marks on the Audison surround?
    And if they are good, I have those Audison's on my list too, for midbass... maybe as high as 1000hz but probably less than that.
    Interested in what you think of both of those.

    Looks like it's just light reflections as the adhesives used on those surrounds are rather glossy.

    That was just sunlight reflecting off the glossy treatment used on the surrounds. These things are in mint condition. I'm surprised how nice they are for even the typical full asking price.

    Construction day today. My God I forgot how messy cutting rings was. Saw dust everywhere...


    I prefer to transfer my ring patterns to MDF prior to cutting so I can see what the router bit should be doing.

    Prior to starting a cut I fix the work piece to a waste backing piece. Here I use 2 wood screws. Double sided tape would work too. But Amazon has not delivered that yet. Wood screws are more secure anyway.

    Putting the Jasper Jig to work. A pain in the butt for now. My plunge router has not come in. I need to stop with each pass and manually set depth using this fixed based finishing router:

    A few things I learned today. Spend $15 on a good compass from Amazon. It does not shift while drawing, is much more accurate, and makes your job MUCH easier.

    Also, mark all holes with a center punch. Makes drilling a snap

    What a great build! Detail level is astounding. There are kids/adults everywhere looking at that last post top picture saying, "Compass? Is it pointing north?"...

    Keep up the great work!
