Making two more pairs of speakers............

[Anil kumar]

Super Anil Sir. Way to go!!

So, this is what you were busy with when I called you yesterday:thumbsup:. Now, let me return your compliment - "you are always up to something".

In the last pic "Materials for spike", what material is that rod? Next time we meet/speak remind me to give you directions to a shop near good shed road who sell scrap aluminium sheets, rod and sometimes even billet (actually in very good condition) at reasonable prices.

I work on the DIY projects only on Sundays, right now working on a Telescope project for a college & building a cabinet for my LM 3886 amp.
BTW, did you buy LP's from Balaji?


Regards,
Anil

Nope, i have no workshop but i have all the basic tools. I wish i had one

Speaker cabinets are almost complete with 12 mm outer board for flush mounting the drivers. Cabinets will be veneered next week.

I would love to do this myself.....

Have to make myself come over to your place and learn a bit, during my next Bangalore visit. Hope you won't have any objections .......

 

[soulforged]

Anil, they look bloody professional!!! I guess you are one...a professional DIYer

Mind having me over some Sunday? Would love to watch you work and learn...maybe contribute by handing you the tools while you are at it

avidyarthy & soulforged, you are most welcome to do that......

By next week speakers will be ready for audition.


I bought a role of Glass wool for stuffing, this is much better than Dacron.
Glass wool is one of the best damping material for use in a loudspeaker enclosure to enhance sonic properties of the enclosure.

Hi Anilkumar,

Are those rolls of Glass wool 25 or 50 mm, I suggest to use 50mm for good damping.

Just my 2 cents.
