Let me start by saying, Thanx for all the Help, questions answered, and in general the amount of info provided here, By all of you...
I Love building, designing, and being creative...
And Google Sketchup is a great Tool (for me anyways)...
I have been designing a few different boxes, I have a few questions...
- First, help me decide what is overkill, and what is good design...
- Port Holes should face forward, backwards, downwards, and why ?
- Rounding over, 45's and, and what jon did on the large speaker with the funky angle top and sides...what is the benifit of this ?
- Any benifits to sort of TL a ported box, from the speaker to the port...?
- Does internal Bracing benifit from, thickness, 45's, roundovers, and type or size of hole ?
- Sand , or other filler, what is this for excactly, and how much is needed...?
- I know alot of People are saying "OVERKILL, what a waist of time", but I do love to build, and this is fun & relaxing for me...so, if any of this is benificial, I want to do it...If it is a waist of time and materials, then I dont...
- Can a Painted serface be veneered ? (thinking I might paint 'em for now, save up and get alot of veneer to do several cabinets at once, to hopefully get the best match on all cabinets)(I know it will have to be sanded before hand)
- Reason for Towers leaned back 5 degrees ?
well these are not realy cabinets building ???'s But...
- Bi-Amping...my reciever has A/B/A&B...can this be used for Bi-Amping, and what is the benifit of this ?
- Lpad's, worth it or not...seems to me alot of people building speakers arent used to how BRIGHT the tweeter is, could this be used to tame it some ?
- some usefull links to where you get your materials for whatever...
thanx again for all your patients,
chris
