band pass sub

   So.... I guess I am all in. Have cut my flat packs for three more to make a set of four.
I am happy enough with how it sounds, but if I don't have four, I am unlikely to have a great result trying to see if one sub will keep up with four 1850s. I know it won't and I might just blow it trying to do so. So I need 4. Shucks. Guess you gotta take some risks in life.

	It happened. I could take pics of my splinters, but the flat packs just look like piles of rectangles. 156 rectangles in fact. I will take a pic later when I get to work.

	So far, nothing real bad. I did have a circular saw jump out of a full lengthwise cut on a sheet when the board pinched the blade. Chewed up the cut a bit, and scared me for a sec, but I held onto it. Other than that, I had a splinter about a cm long get jammed right up under the fingernail. I should wear gloves, but I feel less accurate with gloves on so, I will take the splinters as a cost of doing biz. As for pics, I should have some good build pics over the next couple days. I will share when I have some banked.

	Had some other work to concentrate on so I am just finishing these. I have build pics but am entirely too tired to deal with multiple images. Here is a photo of the first two, sort of complete. I think I will try spraying inside of the vents as it is hard to paint in there with my roller. My paint job was a little sloppy but I know I am going to scratch them before they even get to gig one, so for this project, I decided a less furniture grade finish is tolerable. Now I won't be as sad when I inevitably damage the paint.

	My gawd.... the heavinesss.... moved them to the basement by myself.... doable, but stupid as hell. one man lift. Just lift that one man right up off the ground and take him to the morgue. He is dead for sure. They weigh just a tiny bit less than my 1850s, but it is a dense weight, where the 1850s are top heavy so with leverage, they seem easier to move.

	Still can't play them very loud for very long at my house, but here is a spectrum analysis playing some subby old school dnb. The listening environment is clearly terrible. Still, looking good on the RTA mic.

	I picked the song because it clearly has a lowest note in the bassline just above 30hz. The HPF is at 30hz. The Low Pass is at around 80 I think for this test. For mid tops I am just using some yamaha 10inchers I usually use for DJ monitors.
