Mission: Trio12 Sub (design/build)

[Bengoshi2000]

Today I submitted my order for the Quartet12/Trio12 kit. I've taken the suggested design and modified it a bit. Here are two pics from Sketchup:





The PR's will be covered with a cloth wrapped speaker grille... I'm thinking of using some of the "vintage" cloth that's available at PE (and elsewhere on the net).

I'm hoping to start the build in early November... pics are forthcoming.

Nice design. Will you be mounting a plate amp in the cabinet?

[Bengoshi2000]

I'm going to mount the amp in its own box and hide it from my two-year-old.

Norm,

That's looking really great and I'd like to post a link to this build if that's OK with you.

Absolutely... be my guest!

Looking forward to the build pics!

Got a visit from "Brown" yesterday...



Also stopped at Lowe's and Woodworker's Supply and picked up the oak boards and veneer I'll be using. Too bad that next weekend I'm going to be out of town... I'd rather be working on this project...

Nice man, can't wait to see the progress!

Now that all of the parts are in, I'm changing my mind on mounting the amp externally. My question: Does the Bash500 amp need to be sealed in it's own chamber, or can it be open to the interior of the sub box?

Thanks!

Most box-builds I've seen the plate amps are open to the inside of the box:
