Re: FREE SUB PLAN: Dual Lab12 (Front Loaded) by Welter Systems
Lots of delays getting this project going, finding good lumber in my area is a real pain. Finally started making sawdust earlier this week, build is going pretty quick considering I'm just working on it for about 2 hours a night after work. My last build was a BFM sub (took one of the forum guys up on a "build it before you bash it" challenge), the BFM which took about 25 hours to build was a nightmare of mitre joints, I'm pretty sure I'll be wrapping this one up in 10 hours or so. I used PL for this build because I had some left over from the BFM build, next time I think I'll go with regular wood glue and caulk the seams with PL once the box is together.
Finish is likely going to be flat black enamel paint, simple and easy to touch up.
Lab 12's are currently breaking in with a 20Hz test tone at low volume.
I thought I had the perfect placement for my handles sorted out, until I put the baffle in place and realized that one handle is going to protrude into the area of the upper port. Is this going to be a problem? Would it be worth backing the handles with 1/2" ply instead of 3/4" to minimize it's effects on port area?
