Another boring old 2x10 cab build

So I managed to get a couple more pieces done; the top and bottom panels, the "inner top" panel and one of the support braces. That brings us up to 9 in total, leaving 8 to go. I held a couple of bits together to see how they would fit and unfortunately the side panels appear to be about 2 mm wider than the top and bottom. No big deal though, I'll just have to plane them down a bit when I have finished mocking it all up.

Fixed for you. :P Seriously though, good work. ;)

You're probably not far wrong! Speaking of mock-up:


Obviously I hasten to add I didn't actually screw or glue anything down for this mockup, hence why it is all a bit off. Just a quick assembly to see if we're getting there.

Ok so I got a shipment of parts today:


This is basically everything else I didn't already have that I needed to finish the cab: handles, cable, tweeter and crossover. Also in a seperate shipment I got myself another router bit since the other one snapped.

Done a bit of work today. Got the last 2 of the supporting battens cut out. Also cut out the hole for the crossover:


As I said before, this is intended for vertical mounting, hence why it is the orientation that it is.

I then put the panel in and drew round it. Tomorrow, I am going to put a 2 mm recess in around the line so it will sit flush with the back once everything is done. There was a small bit of wood that was designed to stiffen the speaker cabinet. I was going to cut it out separately, but I decided the scrap bit of wood from the crossover cutout would do the job :) . So now I've not just the speaker panel and another supporting piece to cut out and we're done with the cutting out of parts.

Well it's pretty plain to see that no-one on here really gives a sh*t about this build but here are a few more pictures at any rate:

Everything mounted and fitted. The only thing that is needed now is a...


grille. I was slightly disappointed that it was only 4 mm hole size, especially compared to the eden which looks about twice that but what can you do? The sound is ok, really though I think I need to break the speakers in before I can comment on the sound. Here's a video anyway:

Not so! :) Looks like a bang-up job.
Great vid, too - I particularly like the way the bass makes the camera vibrate. ;)
