Hi all,
Thanks for all the help on the subwoofer build. I have learned my lessons from there regarding cheap plywood. So, I have a big box of drivers and crossover parts for Paul Carmody's Tarkus. I also have 4 sheets of 18mm Baltic Birch ply. The infuriating thing is that I got this ply for the same price per sheet ($41 CAD) as for the much cheaper ply at Home Depot. These speakers are for my uncle who would like them done by spring. So I have lots of time to build and do it right!
Here's a sketchup shot of my box (with conversion to mm for the birch thickness). My main questions at this stage are:
1. How does the bracing look and will this be relatively easy to pull off. The braces will all be routed with circles to cut down the mass and allow air flow.
2. Any easy ways to cut the angles on the top and bottoms? Not sure how to get the right distance on the table saw from the fence. Do I need a sacrificial board on the fence?
You guys are great. I'll be sure to keep you updated as I go. Planning to start making sawdust after the long weekend. I'm picking up a new table saw tonight!
Cheers,
Scott
