Buy some expanded steel from mcmaster carr. Don't use aluminum, it will be too fragile. I found 22gauge Steel, hexagonal holes, 70-79% open, you think 22gauge is thick enough? Depends on how far away from the driver you're mounting. You'll always get some bend, the trick is to control it with thickness, shape, or mounting. If I can manage to bend it all the way around, that'll definitely add some strength, but I'm not sure how I'd successfully pull that off. I might be better off just finding a lower gauge, cutting it into a circle, then attaching to a thin baffle to space it out from the driver, then some rage gold around the edges for a nice smooth finish. There's a steel shop not too far from me, I'll check out what they have and "feel the amount of bend" in center. edit, Actually I guess I could cut a baffle to size, lay it on top of the circular steel, then start bending the edges up to the baffle, then apply rage gold on the sides / resin for keeping it together. Cut a circle out of MDF about 1/4" smaller than the diameter you need, round over one edge with a router, then lay your piece of metal over it and carefully hammer the sides over. I've done this countless times. If I had some scraps, I'd make a video for you. Sounds simple enough, thanks.

Got my tweeters in. The domes were smashed in, but popped out on their own. Hopefully there okay...

Like this: Black = spacer / baffle grey = bending mesh up.

Mids showed up today, USPS just drove by doing the mail, so my tweets should be here soon!

SWA WEET!

Damn that's bright.

That I wont be using Haha.

At this point he can just go fuck himself. What a douche.

Macgyver was awesome, I haven't seen it in many, many years. The last movie was ridiculous

I gave him my bottom dollar, at this point I just need the room in the garage. I just think he's broke or like sixteen years old, so broke lol. Which is understandable, but if I don't have the cash then I'm not gonna fuck around lowballing someone. Yeah I'll buy your 2008 m5 for $1200? Reminded me of this http://www.dontevenreply.com/view.php?post=63 Guy is never going to sell it...

Win.

Am not ! Finished a prototype LED power supply, cut some wood for the work bench and installed a huge vice, organized some stuff in the garage (ever since moving i nothing was in place) and put together a customer's SPL box. Sweet What sort of supply? Amplified zenner, it's in the pics, very tiny. Don't have an inductance meter yet to build a buck converter. High power app? Depends on what Darlington transistors I can find. Parts shop said they had some 60A ones. 50 LED's shouldn't be a problem for a 60A transistor. Went to a movie tonight otherwise the 9 LED proto would have been ready. Weekend out of town (company payed trip), maybe I'll finish it tomorrow afternoon Dying to see what yours is for Car, backhoe, anything that needs bright lights. I can imagine it now, adding LEDs to everything, your entire house is fucking LIT UP.

Ordered some edge veneer for making the kick pods flush mount. Anyone know of a good place to buy aluminum mesh for making custom speaker grills? I know at some point someone is going to step in my car, right on my kicks and go "sorry man."

Ahh, 5k posts. I'll be back in a year....

WTF, weird, now one more.

Craigslist.... Posted a rather large enclosure up for sale. Listed for $270, expecting offers around $200, which is a fucking steal, but I understand it'll be hard to tell due to it's size. How much can you do? I understand the enclosure is going to be hard to sell since it is so big, but I paid a lot of money for it so I don’t want to just give it away for free. So shoot me an offer. Thanks, Stefan Dustin, Not going to happen, sorry man. -Stefan ------------------ I think he's done, two weeks later (now), he sends another email: You offered me $50 last time... What is it now? $55?

It's alive!

That made me LOL! Not wasting any time, are ya'? Getting right to work, keep it up! I mounted the ms8 and Eclipse amp yesterday, just a simple little case for now. Still deciding what I want to do final. Speakers should show up later today, but my wiring won't show up until Monday.

Asian Penetration. Hopefully I can say the same in twenty years.

Oh the places I would go. I actually priced out some tickets to go back up to SF to hang out with my friend for a few days, then fly up to Seattle to another friend, then back to Tucson. Booking a few months in advance, it was under $450 for everything. Almost want to say 390 or so off the top of my head.
