    Ricci... I have 3 18" LMS and 6 PR.... 2 PR's are black cone.. black basket... and the one LMS-Ultra is black cone TI as well. One box houses the clear TI cone LMS 5400's with matching TI passives. The other will have the black drivers in it.

    I am driving, and I might have a few extra days... send me an email or PM, I might be able to drive to your place with it.

    3 and 6...nice. Thats not a bad reflection coming off that finish especially considering that you are working on it half asleep . GL with getting that Delta 88 car door offBig Smile!  That's dedication to the cause right there. I'll send you a pm later.

    Audiopulse LMS sounds like my cup O tea, "Ported, or rather 4th order vented systems are notorious for being distortion porn."  Now there's a new fetish I need like a whole in the head.

    Any driver with a chrome plated basket is cheesy garbage. Looks like the Audiobahn crap.

     

    To anyone making drivers...NEVER use chrome plated baskets. Pure CHEESE!

     

    Red,blue,green or black. Chromed is dollar store cheese.

    Ask yourself mortal,do you have as much displacement as me? The answer is NO unless you use fan type subwoofers.

    Indy Indy Indy...Hooked up the Mini-beast in both Roger's HT ( Indyklipschfan ) and also Michael Colters... and was shaking walls. MIchael was worried for the windows.... and his classic antiques in a cabinet. It was awesome! Had a ground loop to solve at Indy's place, took some time. Once we got it fixed, we played "Flight of the Phoenix". Awesome! Smile

    Hope I can tag along here since this is kind of a DIY thread, I feel inspired to build a couple subs, or at least try. -

    I have a lot of tools, but the one thing I am lacking is a nice table saw.  What do you guys suggest?  I'm looking at a Grizzly for about $1,400. 

    http://www.grizzly.com/products/10-Table-Saw-3-HP-Single-Phase-220V-Left-Tilt-w-7-Rails/G1023SLX 

    I like some others but they cost about 2X, not sure I'd get more other than to keep my fingers maybe if I stick em in the blade.  I just need good cuts and a good fence with an extension.  Any thoughts?

    Unless you are going to need a table saw for a lot different projects, I would have Home Depot / Rona / Lowes, etc cut it for you slightly oversize with their saws.Use a flush trim bit to take off the tiny bit left over when each panel is glued on and dry.
