They are screwed to 18mm baltic birch strips. In the middle there's an allen screw with s spacer between the cab, and the grill. Was needed because the grill itself is not flat because of the perforation, so that fixes it.

Another pair is on the planning (some day )
First is a new (more) compact cab, probably reflex.

To fit foam to the grills you need 3Ms "Scotchweld 77". Cut the foam slightly oversize. Then spray the rear of the grill NOT the foam. Then press foam in place. and trim excess.
DON'T use any other spray adhesive. Most produce a "spiders web" effect across the perforations which will be visible when the foam is fitted. The scotchweld 77 doesn't. Edited by markie - 19 December 2017 at 4:34pm |

If it's got wheels or tits it's gonna cost a fortune

That's just brilliant!
Simple, effective, attention to the fine detail and the function instead of Yet Another Bloody Spaceship. |

At the moment I used Bison glue, looks allot like the scotchweld stuff. I applied the same as you said, but still keeps coming lose when I turn it up a little. |

Yeah, it never cures 100%, so the foam can be easily removed. We dot the foam from behind with superglue for the subs after we glue is with spray77. That keeps it in place for long time.

Heyo! First of all LOVE the build!
About to start a build of basically the same boxes -I'm going with the Faital Pro 18HW1070 drivers... Just a set of 2 to start. Overall are you happy with the results? I'm doing this build to replace 2 qsc KW181 as I was not happy with the overall output. I have 2 QSC KW153 for tops now and the 181 just did not keep up. I plan on driving these with a QSC PLD 4.5 running it 2 channels @ 4ohm which will give me my 1600w continuous and a 2400w peak 100hz low pass rolling it off around 36-38 or so. Any advice or input as I venture into this? I already have the drivers and a buddy is going to have the wood cuts done on a CNC machine. http://www.faitalpro.com/en/products/LF_Loudspeakers/product_details/index.php?id=201070138 https://www.qsc.com/live-sound/products/power-amplifiers/pld-series/pld45/ Edited by Russellsoundsolution - 12 January 2018 at 10:24pm |

Maybe the only thing I would have done different, is the paint job.
Now I did it with a roller, but spraying gives a more professional finish.

Qsc pl380 powering them 4 Ohm.
3 weeks and then I can use them to their full potential. |
