Anyone else have damaged speakers at the MWAF?

[brkitup]

Cherell and I just got back from the MWAF, and we really enjoyed ourselves, even though it was a long day. As we were about to leave, I decided to help Cherell load up her StrataSpheres first, then come back for my BX5 Boombox project. In the two minutes I was outside, someone had kicked in the subwoofer cone on my boombox. :( It's really unfortunate, and I was wondering if something similar had happened to anyone else. I was told by PE to put my project under the table, but I guess I should have turned it around and hidden all the fragile parts. I think we really need to figure out how to keep everything safe if this competition is going to be even bigger next year. It was still a lot of fun, though.

Eric, I'm sorry to hear about this.

We all appreciate your, and Cherell's, attendance. Both are very cool builds!

If I remember correctly there was a picture of it "pre-damage" in Wolf's virtual walk around thread.

Here was Wolf's input and pic from the virtual walk around...

Eric Levenchuck (brkitup) brought his 'BX5' SP22, as an effort into nu-skool boomboxes and ipod-dock territory. This thing really was nice- My kind of shoulder-shaker!! Clean and capable. Vifa/Bravox/W8-740P.



Very cool!

Not battery powered or anything. It's basically just a bedroom sub/satellite combo in one enclosure. The sub is powered by a plate amp.

I wonder how that would sound about 6 feet behind a couch mounted on center at ear level? What listening distance did you model it for? Anyway it can be used to replace L/R Rear channels?
