I was planning on using 3/4"   Mostly because it's a bit stronger, just wasn't sure if it would throw the plans out too much. 

Did you build yours with 3/4"?

Just use 3/4" ply.  The thickness won't affect the build.

Also, there's an error in the plans. Piece F should not be 388mm in depth.  IDK how long it should be.  I would suggest cutting it to 388, then cut it down accordingly when you start to assemble the cabinet.

Will do waffles..

Where did you get your ply from?    I cant find a good source for the 15MM ply?  I can get good ply in 1/2" and 3/4" but not 5/8".

So yah, I had some drivers in these cabinets as placeholders until I could afford the proper ones.  I couldn't quite figure out why they sounded so terrible. 

The drivers were pulled out of a half stack.  I figured they would sound bad, but not as bad as they did.  My friend had gotten some eminence instrument speakers and they worked very well in his monitors. 

Turns out these things have a qts of 1.3!  and an FS of 83hrtz. 



I'm currently saving up to get some proper drivers.

I'm glad I didn't get these out yet and kill some peoples ears.

So I'm under the impression that I want a driver with high BL and low QTS.  Am I right?

So does anyone know of a cheaper alternative woofer for these cabinets.  I'm about ready to get rid of whats in them now.   The suggested woofer is far too expensive for me to afford.

You know deadbeat.  Negative expansion scoops. 

Don't worry, they'll be replaced soon with 186's.


Even if they do negatively expand, that don't mean that they do 175...

Anyways, good luck with 186s - loaded properly they will live up to your expectations (and judging by your 'competition', you will get business.


Hopefully :)

I usually play my scoops up to 175 though.  Since they're not really scoops, they can do it.
