I tried to move the wax layer and it was not easy, did grind the tube inside with sandpaper. Outside the tube i did erasure with a knife and grind it with sandpaper...

Sandpaper is not enough (I used a sander too); what I endup doing was to remove the layer completely (tube is made from thin layers of paper).

Good luck ...I'll wait for the finished product pictures

Thanks a lot salvasol, i`ll remove the first layer before assambling the tube to the bottom-cap. Its to late to do anything with the top-cap. I`ll post pics to you all, i realy looking forward to finish this subs, and hope this babyes rock my house

[lglura]

This is the tube assambled on the bottom-cap, more pics when i have cover the tube with fabrics.

[fackamato]

Wow! It sure looks amazing. Could we get a size comparison with a person standing next to the tube?

Did you try it yet?

[salvasol]

Looks nice ...and I'm sure it will look better after you attach the fabric

[lglura]

Working hard to finish this subs within this saturday. This is the top cover with portmouth.

[atledreier]

Looks awesome, dude!

You WILL love it when you fire it up, I guarantee it!

[lglura]

I think the flavor is very tasty, but my wife is not agreed
Well, its a lgl-design, i want to have the ability to replays the fabrics simply if necesseary, and this was the idea that came up, i think it gives a massive impression.

And Atle, i love them already, tomorrrow is the big day.

The paint work is simply beautiful. What are you using? And what is your procedure? I hope I have the skills to pull off a beautiful paint job like that. Thanks

[atledreier]

Did you try them yet?

Hi there and welcome to the Shack. I did apply aerosol spray paint. You have to spray several thin layer every 5 minute and finish it with one last thick layer. Hold the can about 12- 15 " away from the object.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been lurking around here for a while just making my brain bigger.

Anyways, thanks for the heads-up on the aerosol paint. Do you mind if I pick your brain for just another second?

Did you use a primer before you applied the paint? Also, did you use a clear coat? If so, did you sand the paint before applying the clear coat? Sorry, for the questions I am just trying to inflate the brain some more.

Hi turdlepoker.
I use a primerfiller and sant it with 240 and 400 grade sandpaper. I did not apply clear coat on the top cap but the bottom cap was applyed with two layer clear coat, and if you apply it before the paint is dry you dont have to sand it, but be carefull, the clearcoat is very difficult, apply it in many thin layer.

Hi guys.
This was the big weekend. and i did a lot of testing.
This is the most powerfull sub that i ever experienced, i simply love them. I can imagine what they can do when i finish the adjustments and the acoustic threatment.
The spaceship in Wall-e did land in my HT and the 12 GA shotgun in Open Range went off right in my face. It was awesome. I have two Clark tactiles I dont need anymore.

The audience
Thanks to the members of the shack that contribute to this build.

It's now the time to say: "I told you so!"

Beware though. Mine are jumping a bit on the floor at insane levels. I've been told it's because I have no baseplate. Maybe you should consider that in your design.

And you told me this, and yes it`s jumping a bit at insane levels. My solution is attach the legs to the floor with a bolt. Thanks for your heads up Atle.

[Mike P.]

Got pics?

[lglura]

Ok guys.
Here is the picture of my new sub, and i`m very pleased with the result.

And this is a little detail on the top cap. A good friend of mine lol and said "pimp my sub"
I think it is the final touch

[Ricci]

Give yourself a pat on the back Iglura. That's one of the classiest looking tube builds I've ever seen.

[Mike P.]

I'll say this is the finest sonosub I've seen. And I've seen a lot!
