The subs might be ready earlier than expected

My dad came with the brilliant idea today. He said why not use my old subwoofer boxes to put the LAB12 in? My old boxes are ~40-45l internal volume and the LAB12 should fit on the side. The original baffle is too small though so I'll have to cut a new piece of particle to board and glue it on the old baffle to cover up the old driver hole. I'll also add some bracing when I have two big holes to work through.
This should mean that I can have them ready to be played in only a few days after I have picked up the subs.

Sent from Gothenburg 10:12 AM today.

Such a shame I don't have a second powerful amplifier to run them on next Wednesday when it's the school project work exhibition. Might bring them anyways and use my dad's old Yamaha amplifier and just run them a little easy. We'll see.

#3 finished

I have finished the combo and I'm actually listening to it right now. No guide and no pictures yet, I don't have the time to finish that tonight. I guess I'll do it on Friday evening or during the weekend. I'll send the amp to the customer on Friday but I'll make sure to take enough pictures before that.

Another O2+Odac combo coming, with step-by-step construction guide

Short post, should go to bed ASAP.

Picked up a package today containing an O2+Odac combo which I am building for a guy. I will take the opportunity to make a step-by-step construction guide to show you how simple it is to build. More about that tomorrow evening when I have started building.

The subs have been shipped

For those of you who don't know Swedish, this means that the package has been sent and is on its way north to where I live. Ragnar (the guy who sold the subs) also upgraded the shipping to priority shipping. What that means I don't know but I guess it's good to have.

Eminence LAB12 subwoofers coming!

Today I just bought a pair of subwoofers from a guy at a Swedish forum www.minhembio.com
The price was 1820SEK for a pair including shipping and insurance. He will post them tomorrow so I should have them on Wednesday or Thursday I guess.

The plan is to put them in small sealed boxes, about 30 litres net volume. Power them with a Behringer iNuke NU6000DSP and use EQ to boost the bottom. I have contacted Ingvar about the boxes and hopefully he can cut all the panels for me, it depends on how much it would cost though.

I will use Neutrik speakon contacts. Between my HK amp and the Behringer I will use RCA in one end and XLR in the other (I think that works).

This is the planned order from Thomann, so far. NC3 MMX-B is the XLR connector. NYS 373-0 is the RCA connector. NL2 FC is speakon. XXR is just color coding rings for the XLR connectors. NL2 MP D-TYP is the speakon connector panel. I also chose to order a B-Stock amplifier, it's €33 cheaper so why not? Cordial CDS122 is the RCA/XLR cable, 0.5m per cable should be enough. CLS240 is the speaker cable, 2x4mm, but I'm not sure if I need it since I have some spare cables from my HAD Oy build. And finally some damping material. The specs said it was enough for 20 litres so four packets should be fine.
