basically decided to start a sound system, as you do :). decided to keep it simple and build two 18's. i'm 17 btw, so its not gonna be the best :P.  kit arrived, 2x fane 18XB  got wood? ;). 18mm MDF, at £13.50 each :D  marking.  holes for handles cut  starting to join together  shelf in  stuffing the badboy  finished :)  their home for now :). yeah, i built two, but didn't see the point in posting double the amount of pictures :L. still need to get grills, but will post updates as i do them :D. Also, i made this to help others, because i know it helped me when i as building mine, to look at others being built :) |

ryan, it was actually your thread i used as a guide, so thanks very much, it was greatly appreciated :D. nah, no bracing, was gonna put some 1x1 down the edges, but when i got the sides up, it felt secure :D. yet to get the amp, ive got the money just waiting for the cheque to clear :P, then i can get the feet and cables etc :). Ginger biscuits- thanks very much :D. ive got my dad to blame for that, as much of an arse that he is, he's had me fixing things since i was like 7 and we've built a house since then. im fooking chuffed with them though :D |

Over 130 honk IMHO but maybe OK if just kick frequencies. 186 in standard design is brilliant. Extend the depth a bit for grill recess ------------- It's everything, not everythink! |

There is an old post from years ago where Lev said there was one of these in a house party with 186 and people were afraid to go in the room! Best thing about using these for kicks is the ability to use them alone for small gigs. I have 4 with Celestions in, luvvely Bring back the 186 mk1 BTW. Beautiful driver ------------- It's everything, not everythink! |
