I'm finally in the club! Been a while coming while I set up shop, learned some stuff about working with wood (virgin here, never had the time/facility/tools and getting the sub build itch just pushed it into being). This is like literally the second thing I have built from wood aside from a pretty lousy scoop I made back in shop class in 7th grade; I built a shelf/stand thing for my microwave in the kitchen as my first venture into woodworking just before this sub.
It's a Stereo Integrity HT18D2 in a 22x22x22" * sealed box, made from baltic birch ply, powering with a Crown XLS1500 in bridged mode (with my hand-assembled speakon cable of course). Got it all assembled today (pre-finishing) and fired it up, sounds great! Can't even hear the t-nut that dropped in the box as I put in the last screw (and seems to be doing no leakage in that spot so I guess the two adjoining screws and my gasket tape are sufficient for the moment). Now to go take it apart and sand and put some teak oil on it...
I took some pics that I remembered to take along the way but twice now it seems to be some sort of security token thing I need to contact an admin about....dang
ps * The effective size I aimed at was 22 x 22 x 22....but outside is 24 x 22 x 22 with an inset to flush fit the grill....okay slightly larger, effective is 22.5 x 22 x 22
with 3/4" ply
