Gathering info for Speaker Building Super Thread

[Andy_G]

There have recently been some VERY good blogs and articles on several aspects of speaker building, but there is nowhere that links to these can be easily accessed by newbies, (and not so newbies).

I propose a sticky or something where a list of links to these blogs can be put. To stop it getting out of hand, the Mods could be the only one to access the page to add links.. or something like that.

I know the "resources" page exists, but I'm just wondering if these blogs belong there or if they should be put in their own section.

Blogs...smogs. We don't need no stinkin stickies or articles. That's what the Brain Trust is for.

Just tweeking your nose Andy. Sounds like a good idea.

I must be feeling my oats this morning. Oh wait, that's the welts from paintball this weekend.

Re: Suggestion to board .

This is like the fifth time I've seen a request for stickies. The mods never reply, much less actually create a sticky. Good luck...

Re: Suggestion to board .

I created a thread list of links to a lot of the DIY designs out there, designs that certainly lead to a lot of business for PE, and they refused to sticky it.

So good luck with that! :p

Re: Suggestion to board .

It's a very good ideal... PE could even decide what posts are allowed, and remove anything that proved unreliable.
An excellent "quick reference"!!

As I mentioned before, there are some seriously good blogs on speaker building floating about.

How about a group of you guys over there get together, put these blogs together, and PUBLISH it.

Publish doesn't necessarly mean in hard format, btw.

Editor.. I would vote for Paul or Wolfy... "The PE collaborative speaker design compendium." !!

Re: Here is a very strange idea...

Andy -

Had that as well as other combined collaborative work in mind for several of these Guys years back.

I have Talents I'd hoped I could integrate with theirs and be a part of the whole vision.

Didn't realize until about a year back that Pauls site which I found by accident not even realizing he was Paul from P.E. was the most excellent 'newbee' site I'd ever encountered. Wrote him an e-mail suggesting pretty much as you that he had incredible talents.

Did same with Wolf a few times but in one of his more recent posts after much prodding from others with same thoughts I've had regards his talents he stated he feared if He ever did anything Commercial he'd lose his Hobby interest as well as the Joy it gives him. A Wise statement from a Young Man but He shared with me a couple times he has 'Secret Powers'. I've realized this is true.

Excellent post and of late as bad as economy is here I can see tons of possibilities amongst many members here to collaborate on something financially beneficial if they chose to move in that direction. P.E. has likely the most open non biased Administrative Policy I've encountered and I have many interests and am a member of many forums.

A Blog started amongst these talents if they couldn't feel 'conscience free' by inputting financial gain into the plan would benefit more people than you can count . Problem is such endeavors are extremely time consuming.

People need to make a living. People need free time.

I studied for 5 years between 75-79 to make a smooth transition from employment to self employment. I believed I had it all factored. I was wrong and when I made my move it cost me my Family in a Divorce 2 years later because of money.

There are 100 guys on this Forum tonight I'd like ton P.M. just because of their brains and proven Good Heart. There are 10 I'm behind on in P.M.'s.

What a Generation we live in! So much information available that seems to fast track us to everything and despite such creates so little time.

I'd love to see these guys here profit by doing as you suggest , Hope they have their Ears open, but more than anything hope they are Wise enough to not spread themselves too thin.

I've been wanting to e-mail you with questions regards your stuff for 1.5 years.

Addictions are expensive. They cost time.

That's Priceless.

I have plenty of free time, and a backround in copywriting/editing and graphic design.

What kind of format were you thinking? PDF?

At this point, I'm in the same boat as you. My information is simply available as a website.

I have toyed with the idea of writing a complete book--my wife even encourages me. But it'd take some real time to put together.

I don't know if it's fiscally prudent to publish a hard format of such a book (considering that some the best resources, like Speakerbuilding 201 and Testing Loudspeakers, are special-order items) But at this point in my life, I'm not in it for the money. So I wouldn't mind just publishing it as a free, downloadable book.
