| Re: Sound Splinter RL-p18 Giveaway build thread Measure twice, cut once, just make sure your measurements are right which I messed up and had to replan my cuts, but it actually turned out better, had more wood left over, Mains are next! | |||

| Re: Sound Splinter RL-p18 Giveaway build thread Slow going today, Got the bottom piece and port ring, and an interier brace rough cut, as you can see I've reversed the driver and port, fitting the port on the angle on top was to problematic, I dont have the tools to pull it off, also my son Taylor helped me tonight, alltough in that pic he's just running my dewalt down!! | |||

| Re: Sound Splinter RL-p18 Giveaway build thread Hey guys, I know sharp edges and MDF don't go together so I guess I'll have to round the edges on the top of the cabinet, I don't think it will take away from the look to much, what is the general rule of thumb here? the very top of the top baffle is very sharp, so I was thinking 3/8 to 1/2 an inch. At this stage of the project if any one has any ideas or info I'de love to hear it, I plan to have it thumpin by Sunday evening. A friend has drafted me to build his 4-10" sub enclosure for his car, so I will whip that up after this stage of my build, we're using fiber glass and material to do a unique angled design with an amp rack, Ill post pics on my site as I know we can't show any of that nasty car audio here!! I cannot wait to hear the 18" SPEAK!!!! | |||

I guess you could cover it with some sort of grill cloth. You might have to warn people not to lean on the top though. Why don't you like the bottom mount method? ![]() brucek | ||||

The height alone will keep people from leaning on it, lol, the stupid thing is going to top out at 7'6", the speaker bottom will be at aprox 5', I have a idea for a Sound Splinter logo speaker grill if I can pull it off, I have nothing against the down-firing method, I just have to see that speaker moving, and its such a beautiful speaker, it's a shame to hide it, I hope you all don't dis-own me if it dosent sound good I'll back up and punt! | ||||
