CSS FR125 BIB Build Log

Recommended Posts

After forever the build is finally coming together. I have an Adcom GTP-450 pre-amp with a GFA-535L for power (60W @ 8). I'm going to do the build using a combination of MDF and Oak.

I was thinking the same thing myself. The work shop looking nice that is. Z

Thanks. The table saw picture actually gives no depth to the shop at all.

Being able to do a hole sheet of whatever at once is a blessing

More Pics in the AM!

The last pieces that need to go on

and the router to do some work soon

some quick thoughts....

I noticed that the oak is ever so slightly thinner than MDF. I'm also very glad that tightbond makes there bottles idiot proof when it come to leaving them open, otherwise I would have already dried up 2 bottles more than likely.

Soon I will post all the notes and stuff I wrote when drawing out the enclosure.

We have some of those routers. :)

*edit* I'll bet the Oak ply is 18mm and the MDF is 3/4" (or 19mm)

Tomorrow I will pick up some polyfill, cut out the hole for the driver, finish up other tidbits, and start the staining/painting phase.

Some router edging I did. A little burning :P but it gives it character

Baffles. I cut the outside with a jig I made and the inside with a jigsaw

I would consider using more polyfill in the line, especially prior to the bend.

Oh Snap! Did I actually finish something???

Wow! I think I did!

First play was some Miles Davis - Bitches Brew, followed by some Merrel Haggard :)

Love the sound. The high end was simply amazing. The room they are in has a 16 cathedral ceiling so I feel the bass response will be better in the lower roof environment of my dorm room.
