  4. Awesome man, I appreciate it. I had actually been reading Daves thread about that which is where I saw your post. I've seen your finishes and I tell you what, if thats all you do to seal up the edges then I'm all for it. I'm not overly critical about these things like a lot of the guys on here are and your method is about as easy as it gets. I'm usually a sucker for veneer or those thick textured paints so I don't have to worry about the painting prep work, but veneer is expensive (even at my cost) and the textured paint only works for certain apps.

    I generally cut my boxes slightly oversized and finish off the edges with a flush trim bit and sand using ~120. I'll try to post this in the gallery although nobody ever seems to care lol.

    Thanks for the heads up dude!

    Wolf,
    I noticed your posts about using standard Elmers white glue for sealing MDF edges for paint. How many coats do you use? I can't get my seams to dissappear to save my life!
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Coats?? Shoot, dude- I just rub in a line with my fingers until I get coverage. Add more if necessary to complete that. When dry, sand smooth with 150, and then 220. I do not dillute it. Dave Pellegrene has the thread about how to do it right, and the methods of all the types and things he experimented with. He did try my method.
    If you used a flush-trim to make the edges meet, this is about all you'd need. If not- I would use a filler of sorts or bondo the edges to get them smooth.
    FWIW- Mine probably are never perfect, but I get awful darn close.

    Later,
    Wolf

Apaches Redo..."The Apaches II"

*Under Construction*

1/30/2012

After a few months of listening, tweaking and evaluating the original Apaches design I began to notice many things I didn't care for. The bass was very bloated which I'm sure had to do with the room they were in. Something about the lower mid bass was prevalent and they had a sweet spot about the size of a dime. The mid bass issue was likely due to bandpass gain around 200-300 Hz and as the drivers broke in more and more it became much

Design Goals
For this project, I needed a speaker with a certain size footprint and height. I wanted to get the most out of a small package that would perform more respectably than the larger bookshelf speakers were replacing. Ideally, my ultimate goal was to build a small driver bookshelf system that would play to 45 Hz without sacrificing dynamic capability.

Driver Selection
I’ve always been a fan of getting a lot from a little, and the Tang Band under-hung drivers
