right, here is my daily build plan, started friday 5th august, to be ready for the 12th august (adambomb linkup).
Friday spent most the day with my GF, so didnt really get much speaker stuff done. managed to cutout the outer box parts and some inners. 
the first lot 
pile of plans and calculations 
my garden workshop... crap i know! 
speaker building fuel! keg of local ale!! 
size referance - 12"+1" monitors Saturday started off well, getting up at 9am (unlike usual 1pm). started up the router first thing to wake up the neighbours barking dog and piss the whole road off! i love GB! 
rear panel 1 
the second one being done so its identical 
added the bottom castors, and stuck together bottom, side and rear, then put in bottom horn bit over the castors knuts 
the baffle ready to chop 
baffle chopped, t-knuted and glued n screwed in, driver in background .... ummm PHAT! 
the pair packed away for the day ... off to GF's again 
more to follow! |

I love the sight of cabs under construction, really makes me want to do some more building.
How many 186's will this make in total? |

well, im only building a my first pair atm, but the plan is another pair asap, which will make a nice balance with my tops, then when ive sorted out the outboard and amps better, ill build another 4, and another top. thinking 4 a side should sound phat ... specially with the planned inf8 a side

Sunday!
well, had a late start due to lots of sleep, but had a solid days building combined with 9 pints ... just right i think! 
started by adding baffle braces 
filed access plate edges square then put in battons for the cover. tight fit for the driver tho 
started inserting the inner parts 
one curve done 
the pair at the end of sunday ... started getting dark! now working 8-4pm mon-friday this coming week packing advent calenders with chocolates so shall have to come home then build every night! will still finish by friday tho!! |

Looks like nice solid work m8, congrats. You get respect for 9 pints and still being able to make accurate cuts too! The rest of the build should be downhill from that point on.

no progress to report of ... altho got tues off as they didnt like me!... spending a while out (with gf again ) then shall be building rest of day. hope to get all the inside parts in, so my new belt sander will arrive, i can level it, stick side on and rip it to test!
i bought these too to mount inside the horn, so the inside red paint job will now glow in a pimping manner. will be red insides with aldacroft outsides! i look forward to ranting these!! |

sweet, i thought about the same thing before but with a sound active unit with it so every time a good kick would hit, it would glow. Very nice!

Thursday
managed to finish no1. set this up as pictured, behind my head on this computer (i was sat on the table to take the photo) .... scary scary bass! the stuff that goes straight through u with tons of kick. Cant wait to have 4!! on a light note, my ex employers at sainsburys just phoned me to enquire about a disco for their social club ... the man on the phone was my ex manager who i left because of! ... soooo tempting to do it and just turn up to see his face! |
