Stuck at home? Make a speaker or something for goodness sake!


Yeah I know, it's something I say twice a year at least, but I say it because I think our community is made better with more builders than with just buyers.

Please, if you are stuck at home looking for ways to spend your money, or maybe want to interest the kids around you consider building a kit.  Speakers, amplifiers, cables.  Something to get your hands dirty and feel the pride of putting things together yourself. 


Peace,

Not so much a scratch build as a strip out and major modification. Not quite finished yet, but tested at several points along the way, so no real idea of the final sound. I hope to have them finished this weekend.

I expect to have them apart several times before I’ll consider them truly finished, as with so much of my stuff, an idea will pop into my head, and in I go again, quite often I must say reverting to how it was and consigning that idea to the bin. :^)

Speakers were originally a pair of Gale GS302 that I have had doing nothing for some time.

I have all the parts for both a subwoofer and an active crossover at 100 hz.  Right now I have too many summer chores to do, but I am looking forward to starting these two soon!
@mozartfan...Once the warranty goes *phftt*, they're yours to abuse...;)
Noticed the cat(s) evac the climber in the window....*g*  2 felines + dawg in house, which indicates loss of control....*L*

Your Sony works like mine used to....image ok, sound *ehh*, rather 'bright' to employ the overworked comment...chalked up to the cam.  I like bright, so no issues otherwise...

Ultimately, if you're happy is all that counts....Enjoy! 👍😊

@oldhvymec, love to apply for the project but can't even get to my own, and you're too far away for practical 'fun fab functions'....

Motorhome is 'landlocked' for some time previous and now.

We'd either get along famously or need to 'off' one or both; the usual that happens when strangers meet, greet, heat, huff, and *puff*. *L*

'Analog DIY tools 'n patterns' an in-organism specialty, wood/metal/plastics part of the repertory... Hands still work fine, but a requirement  would be a stock of Band Aids due to blood thinners....I bruise if you look @ me hard....used to it, keeps the stuff fresh, much like the owner of the organism.

Vac'd, of course; carrier, perhaps.  What I've got only xmits by mindmeld, most of which goes extremely undetermined as to long sequence effects.

Do find your line-source concept of interest....find the neo 10s' & 8s' of interest, but wonder if you're going to 'dipole' them as opposed to 'throttling' the back waves....10s' 'up front' could eliminate the 8's with cab design, but your concept rules the day and direction....

"If it don't fly, throwing off a cliff won't improve matters...."*L*

BTW....I draw, concept & construct.  Beats later f-ups...;)
