Wow, that sounds time consuming. You got great results though, where did you tune?

I like that idea of sinking the frame lip. I was thinking of making my first pass with the router the pass that makes the lip flush, then coming in and doing the hole. I can see how coming back after the holes are cut would be faster because you don't have to keep finding the pilot hole.

Special music room would definitely net you a lot more slack.

Our basement isn't deep enough to build a floating floor and all that, so I'll have to wait for our next house to make one.

Is it a single story ranch with unfinished, yet finishable basement?

Also needs to be out in the country, I want it quiet outside in the evenings. I'd like a small outdoor amphitheater.

I love music outside, I've got a pair of NSB arrays with 9 tweeters mounted at sitting height for my back deck. The NSB.s and tweeters are mounted on the face, and the 2 sides are mounted to the face with 4 ft. long hinges. They are dipoles, and the hinges allow for constant tweaking. They need a subwoofer to cover from about 200Hz, I've got a couple of RS 180's I'm not using and a small plate amp that I'll use to cover the bottom end. Should be a neat little project coming up before the summer.

I tuned to 100hz, four NSB per chamber [~1.5 cu. ft.}, 6" hole in
the back as the port. The WinISD models shows a peak in upper
midbass, I wanted this on purpose as I didn't expect much from the
NSB's as I wanted higher SPL levels. It works well, the upper midbass
is very strong - in room - and if it's too much, I can use the DCX
EQ to tame it. I can also plug the rear port with a fancy piece of
wood to make it a sealed box. I did this, but I liked the more
aggressive sound with the port.

I don't think that my $1400 speaker system total cost including electronic crossovers, three amps, one preamp and a cd player, and all the speakers would be in the same league as Janszen's $32,000 speakers, nor would he consider them to be in the same league.

I get in enough trouble with Rick Craig by telling him that my system performs as well as his $8000 systems.
