PRISSTINAS II, Much thanks to Peter man and Rudy. *PIC*

[not_that_smart]

ok, so not so sure about the subject, or if I spelled it right, or what they're called. But all the same I'm building the Peter Schumacher designed Prisstina variant, using the dayton RS180S / RS52 / D26NC55.

I start the woodwork stuff tomorrow, I'm not a woodworker really so I'll be finishing them with acrylic enamel automotive (dupont) black. Buffed to a "piano finish".

So far all I have are the solidworks assembly files, but I'll keep PE tech talk updated with the project, as well as Pete, and Rudy ofcourse.

Happy Holidays !!! and free shipping to all.

looks good, excellent driver selection as well, but maybe one more brace running vertically?

> vertically? Hey not a bad idea. Thanks. I modeled the enclosure during my lunch break, and was in a bit of a hurry. Appears I forgot to include the port as well.

I'm not much of a woodworker so I may leave it as is (with the added port ofcourse) or add the vertical brace. I'll have to ponder it tomorrow when I actually start the hard work of trying to produce an enclosure.

I'm good at design on a computer, but not so much so when I actually have to produce the design. I'm used to machines doing the labor for me.

You're talking to a guy who laser cuts half of his projects :P
Here's my best bracing job, with the laser's help of course: <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/3720338...7600917485822/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/3720338...7600917485822/</A>

These are the modula MTs. THere is a version using the seas 27TDFC (the one I used), as well as the dayton RS28a. They sound very nice!

That's nice looking man, very cool project. I dig the burnt edges and all the tounge and grove. Very cool. Bet that smelled nice running it eh?

I was going to try running them on our Amada Gemini, but out laser's booked for the next 4 months and the shop basically runs 24/7 so it was a no go.

I'll have to do it myself. May the speaker gods smile upon me and take mercy on a poor woodworker.

(good to meet a fellow sheetmetal man)

You may want to get a locking miter router bit. That will hide at least 4 of the MDF edges and improve the finish quality of the paint.

There is also a long post over at DIYAUDIO.COM in the loudspeaker section in regards to improving the MDF edge.

The locking miter bit is great for hard woods but the lock part of the wood breaks off when using MDF.

You can always use a miter 45

Can't wait to hear your impressions and see the pics.

Thanks for the update...never actually used one with MDF, only hardwood and plywood.
