"Chota packet bada dhamaaka".
or
"Good things come in small packages"
is the adage which goes well with the full range driver speaker.
I and my 3 and half year old son went to Sadik's place to listen to the speakers. Sadik had placed the speakers on floor standers and my son kept on checking the floor standers thinking that the sound is coming out from them. I had to convince him that the sound is coming from the small speakers. Though being small in size, they do full justice to low frequencies. Mids and high are also excellent. The sound coming from the speakers fill the entire room.
When I listened to the speakers, they were yet to be coloured. But there is no point in writing about Sadik's carpentry and spray painting skills cos they are second to none. I have been a witness to the journey of Sadik maturing from a "professional" to an "amazing professional". With each artifact that he has created he improved by leaps and bounds. That said, I have known him for last 3+ years.

Today's Update on Multimedia Speakers.
These enclosures were already complete and were pending for painting & finishing process. Today I sprayed the Putty on these enclosures with a spray gun. Tomorrow i will sand them and again i will coat them with a very thin layer of putty with help of spray gun. Again they will be sanded with a very fine grade of sand paper. I will used grade 600 Sand paper for final sanding. After sanding the surface will be cleaned with cloth & compressed air to remove all kind of dust from the surface. Then they will be ready for the paint Job.
Below are the Photos of Enclosures with Putty Coated on it with help of spray gun. The Putty i am using is NC Based and NC Thinner is used to dilute it so that it can be sprayed easily with Spray Gun.
The Complement from Mr Shailesh Dhodia "Chota packet bada dhamaaka" was for these speakers.

I don't understand the concept of a sprayable putty. What good does it do? I know of putty applied with a putty knife but why a spray? Why would one apply/spray putty over the complete enclosure? Are you using the "putty" as a primer?
BTW, the enclosures look stunning! Very neat work!

Excellent work Sadik, and some really good looking finish on the speakers.
I do need to pay a visit to you in Baroda to hear some of your creations. Will definitely plan when I get some free time - been a bit busy with work recently.
Great going on both the speakers!

Hi Keith.
The Putty acts as a wall between MDF & Paint, thus prevents the Paint from getting absorbed by MDF. If I directly apply Primer on MDF it will quickly get absorbed and even after 3 to 5 coats I will not be able to get the desired surface required for final coat. Therefore i cover the complete enclosure with putty using spray gun & yes it also acts as a primer.
Secondly for filling big holes where the nails are punched a bit dipper from the surface, I make wood filler myself because here this putty will not work very well, I will have to do apply the same 4 to 5 times to level it up to the surface, by doing so the process time increases (waste of time & labor). I use the wood dust which gets collected in my sander bag & Fevicol to make the wood filler.
Yes the Putty should be applied with a putty knife, but one should have a very high professional hands to do so & I lack this skill. The Layer of Putty should be uniform, if it is not uniform then you really have to sand it hard to make it uniform (again waste of time & labor). That is why i use spray gun to apply putty. But before applying the Putty I Sand the Enclosures first to make the surface even so that i don't have to work hard on sanding procedure.
I tried my best to describe to your query, hope you may now understand why I spray the putty & why i don't use a putty knife.

To make the Enclosure look more professional I made some personalized labels from a local cnc engraving shop with my logo engraved on it. These labels will be sticked directly on the grills of Enclosure. The Grills of Multimedia Speakers are also ready with labels sticked on it.

Today's update is a very bad news. I Accidentally damaged one of the enclosure during painting. I have covered it up with paint, but the Paint is wet so cant say how will it be when it dries up.
Tomorrow i will get the clear results... Fingers crossed i hope for the best.

I hope it should get rectified, best of luck and I understand the pain if at the last moment anything goes wrong on the beautiful builds
Hi Friends,
I Started this thread on 1st of July and Today 22nd of July the Project is completed. Below are final photos of the Multimedia Speakers.
The Damage caused in final stage is in below Photo :sad:
In the Below Photo i got this texture at some places. This was very disappointing for me. I was about to sell these Enclosures but due to the damage caused and this texture I Cancelled the deal. Now I am keeping these enclosures for myself.
Now the above Photo lead me to another way of thinking. Just imagine the lines formed are white colored, enclosure is black mirror finish... how will it look? I Found a way to get this texture naturally. I need some more R & D to do this but i am sure I will reach the Goal. And may be in my next Project I will use this texture.
End of this Project.
