Hi guys, hope I'm not hijacking a very good thread by Jojo.
Anyway, I just wanted to show the box I built late last year and proud to be my first ever build
. I built this boxes I think way before I joined this wonderful forum so picture is not as step by step as you would like but you will get the idea
. Long story but will cut it short, I am living in London right now and unfortunately I live in a flat so space and area to work with is very limited(balcony with loads of junks
). To make things matter worst I was building this towards the winter season.
Wood I use is just a mixture of MDF and 7,13 Ply. Mostly cut by hardware store and some are mine. Decided to use some MDF as its only my first ever build and dont really wanna' spend just in case it would'nt work out
. Also built this box as theres no funny angles to cut and size was the most important thing.
Testing some handle design and first time on the Router
.
First side done and routed.
Next up was to make the box of the handle then fitted.
Cut out for the Driver then T-nutted.
Fast Forward............................Routed the edges, painted and logo on the side
. Meant to use Router for my logo but due to time and dust it makes decided to paint it instead.(maybe next time) Also 2 of the sub were fitted with top hat for pole mounting in case I'll just use 2 subs per side.
Paint is not as strong as I would like to at that time due to the weather being damp. But I manage to do 5 layers inside my living room.
(wife wasn't impressed)
My intension was to build 1 box to pair with my original LD sub but end up with 4 boxes. The design and measurement was all copied from the LD sub
http://www.ld-systems.com/210-1-lde-sub15.html. Ignore the stack as after this build I made another 2 more box for kick/low-mid duties unfortunately I never manage to get some photos as its in my brother shed at the moment. Excuse the mess.
Got a few more projects this coming summer. Looking to build some Mid-tops for this subs. Got some 8's, 10's, 12's and 1"comp waiting but not sure what design yet
Had its first test last Xmas and really pleased with the result. Was running in stereo mode 2sub+1kick+midtop each side.
Short vid taken on iPhone when we're setting the X-over. Sub turn right down due to neighbours.

. Can you spot the modified light stand? This was my speaker stand modified using some butchered keyboard stand
(I'll get some proper stand once I've got some more budget
)
