Not sure I understand your question...

I am curious what you are using as it doesn't seem something that us normal guys can acquire or figure out how to work with.

I think we could all use a little less talking about and more showing off our work. Post pics...

I love seeing the pics but do also appreciate Eric posting what he does, as it has made me consider things I never thought of before and I like that. I love all these threads!

I have posted pics. Just trying to get him off his high horse - don't understand why he won't stop pushing thick veneer, which is diffucult for newbies to work with. Anyway, this is the last comment from me and I'm sure he will put have the last word.
On to work...

OK so Danny, if one was to buy a 'standard' kit and wanted to do a full upgrade in the future how much would you charge (if you would do an upgrade 'kit'!), just as an indication (Cardas, JPS, Sonicaps etc.).

TIA

Okay, I'm way off-kilter this AM. Sorry to all for being emotional and pissed. I gotta run, some friends are coming over to help me get some stuff out of the way I can move the big lines into carbon fiber layup position. Hank really does do nice stuff. He's good with the contact cement, and should be proud of it. You can have success with the paper-backed and contact cement. Plenty of people do. Me... not so much. It likely has more to do with my expectations of it than it being inferior.

I will try to post some pics of some veneer not falling off, or sanded through in the near future. Paul's nine-million lbs. "sandbox subs", Rich's "OB Bass Bases" and a complete HT setup in Neo 2X's, all in black are headed to the booth for topcoating and polishing. I'm buried, out of room, and getting to know some new machines for the very first time. Woo Hoo! or... Boo Hoo, depending on your perspective.

Anyway... The N3 have opened up totally (I think). I mean, If they get any better... whew! The mids and bass are nicely fleshed out and what minute little edge there was to the tweeter has disappeared entirely. They are just completely delicious, and all who hear them agree. They are fast!

OOOH WEE BABY! Open Baffle Bass Bases!

Woohoo! Soon I shall have a sub again! And require back surgery from moving it in to the house.

Personally, I enjoy Eric's posts. I had no idea what he was talking about with the thick veneer and it is cool to learn of other options. I had good luck with paper backed and the iron on pva method, so you don't have to use contact cement. I didn't want to use contact cement for many of the reason that Eric posted. My only mistake was on the staining, but I have got it almost all worked out and my av-1rs look fantastic.

No can do?

Sorry, I must have missed that one earlier.

It will be the same price as if you ordered those options in the beginning. The prices are listed at the bottom of the page. Just click on the option and the price will drop down below it.

Now that's a sweet deal, thanks Danny

Hey everyone. I was assembling my N3s and was getting ready to put No-Rez in the cabinet. I wanted to verify vuce's measurements and waste as little material as possible, so I decided to make a quick SketchUp of the enclosure. Instead of making a quick model, I got carried away like my usual perfectionist self.

I'm pretty proud of it since this is my first time modeling in SketchUp.

Anyways... maybe this will help someone else with their cabinet building.

EDIT - Added No-rez and corrected dimensions (the original model was 3/4" too tall)

That is sweet!!! I just got my flat packs and those pics are pretty helpful. Thanks for sharing.

sveetsnelda · « **Reply #179 on:** 3 Jun 2009, 05:24 pm »

No problem. If you've never used Google SketchUp, it'll give you more than a picture. You can view the models in 3D, manipulate it, and make measurements.
