Anyone lucky enough to buy new JBL drivers will be rewarded in finding a very Gucci set of BLACK yes I said black machine screws and t-nuts under all the packing! Thats worth the price of admission right there.
So forget E-bay buy new.

Amuse small minds...heheheheh.
Ya it was funny, I left the 2 2226's I lent (sp) my buddie in his bins and bought 4 more 2226's , 2 for me and 2 more his other bins. When I put them in for him I noticed this weird discoloration on one of them around the voice coil connections. No big thing on a bin since you can't see the drivers (not till they grenade anyway) but on mine you can, as you know. So I was checking the other 2 I had at home to make sure there was no weirdness on them (there wasn't), anyway I tossed the box aside after taking the driver out and something rattled when it hit the floor, hmmmmmm I said to myself (only time that's ever happened, I swear!) that's weird I thought so I dug around and SHAZAMMMMMM, Chrismas in August.LOLOLOL.
I went to the wood store to buy some (sorry new topic) wood but they were closed, bummer, so I went to Home Depot to see if that big fancy smancy panel cutter could make straight cuts (my table saw can't I already know that much , and ya it's all the saws fault)!!!!!!! But they wanted $1.00 a cut!!!!! Forget that I said to the all department specialist, I'll wait till my fav mom and pop operation is open since they will dice it and slice it for free. Big stupid box store! So anyway the 4Pi's will have to wait another day ....sigh.....

I once built a complete kitchen on one of those $169 SkilSAw table saws. There's always a way to adjust or at least cheat a straight cut.Quickest fix is to take a known straight board and clamp it right to the table front and rear with c-clamps aligned with the blade. Major PITA moving it for every cut but the job gets done.
And yeah, busy Home DEpots only want to cut down panels so they'll fit in your truck or car; the $1 is to discourage Martha Stewart wannabees from 20 cut planters and of course, us speaker builders.
'Course, Martha will soon be raking the sand traps at Lackland AFB.
DON'T fuck with the SEC!
Ok!!!!...it's not the saw!!!!! [message #37859 is a reply to message #37857] Sat, 17 August 2002 20:25 Go to previous message

LOLOLOLOLOL....you happy I said it! You are absolutely right, I built a multi-angled canopy for one of my fish tanks once with a skil saw and a plywood guide. Worked out great, it's all about how much time and patience you have at any given moment (project). The old ryobi cuts just fine if I put the extentions on it. Unfortunately I got so much @#$% (crap) in my garage there's no room to set it up. Actually before anyone thinks this is a Ryobi table saw plug let me just say that I wouldn't ever buy one again....fine for little stuff but for $700.00 clams I'd expect more. Very finicky piece of equipment, lot's of little parts to fall off and plastic pieces to wear and it neeeds a lot of adjustment to stay accurate, I could go on and on! Find some old cast iron garage sale reject that needs a new motor and it will probably be a lot better piece.
So ya....I'll be running down to WNW tomorrow get a sheet of 3/4" MDF sliced up so I can start on the 4PI's pro's. The square port is going to take a bit of fiddling to get it to look right, round port would be easier but I see why Wayne uses the square one on this design, not much room left and it does look right on this speaker, Wayne must have put a fair bit of thought into it me thinks, very neat and clean look!
