Oh they'll be welded onto the backside of the tweeter next time, when I do the complete rebuild in solid carbonite - with Han Solo sticking out the sides...

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

Hey, you've waited a few years to get this far, might as well go all out!
But I'm afraid that 8 gauge battery cable's gonna pull the terminals right off that tweeter! :D

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

They're literally about the same diameter as a quarter, lol.

Oh yeah and 26.8 lbs each.

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

I could try some tractor lugnuts made from solid copper and plated in Adamantium next time :D

Thanks guys, finally getting these finished up. If I counted correctly, this is version 5 haha

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

Couldn't you find anything beefier to hook these up with than those wimpy binding posts?

J/K. I've used them a few times, they are very manly connectors.

Looking good man.

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

Alright, I've got one speaker completely finished, save for maybe some stuffing, if it's needed. Tomorrow after work, if the weather's not too bad, I'll try getting some measurements made Also, still waiting for my MiniDSP to come in the mail.

Nevermind the n00b mistakes like the razorblade slash and router bites, lol.

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

Hmmm... It'll be close ;D

I got them all flushed up, filled some spots with filler, gonna go back out there in a little bit to finish sanding them, and put a coat of Zinsser sealer/primer on them, at least they'll show up with some color on them that way, lol.

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

I'm gluing the rear baffles on in the morning, then wiring and probably screwing down the drivers, I'll put them on the scale after that, I'm pretty curious, haha.

The rule is that any design must be "finished" no earlier than 3 hours before you are scheduled to leave for a DIY event.

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

I want to chime in and say that I'm also interested in seeing what these things are going to weigh.

Re: Deadhorse Build Thread

Alright they're both glued up, the internal wiring is done, and I'm going to hit them both with the flush-cut bit after I recover from a giant delicious lunch
