Well, I guess I am all in now. : I aquired a piece of 20" Sonotube. My design will be as follows. I cut the sonotube to 4'9 1/2 inches. I ordered the 6" flared tube kit from ThrillerAudio. Plus an additional 12" tube and connecting ring, for a total of 29" This tunes to about 15.9Hz. in the approximately 260L tube after subtracting for the tube caps and driver. Please feel free to check my calculations!
The questions I have now are what size t-bolts fit the TC-2000 driver? I don't think bigger than #8's will fit the mounting holes. So, 8-32's OK? I guess no one uses the allen head screws that come with the driver? What's the best way to mark where to drill the holes for the driver. I was just going to put the driver in the baffle hole and use a marker or something to mark the mounting holes.
When gluing the sonotube encaps together what is the best way to align the top cap (baffle with the big hole for flush mounting) with the baffles with the smaller basket holes?
One more question (maybe two) for now ops: I want to cut the holes for the 6" flared port ahead of time, so I can glue everything together. Do I just cut all three layers with a 6" diameter hole, or should a recess the top cap for the flare, if so how deep and what diameter? What type of glue do you use for the flare? I didn't see any screw holes in the picture on ThrillerAudio's website.
Thanks!
