• Ultimatum

I talked to the guys at the Parts Express exhibit and they seemed very interested in cutting us a deal for us on each order of sixteen DC130BS-8 5.5" midwoofers. Told them to sharpen their pencil twice, and I'll contact them later this week about a discount price.

Not much to report yet on the construction, but I'll check back as it progresses. I'm documenting it at the link below:

• Building The AudioRoundTable Group Build Line Arrays

How am I supposed to build a Darling amp if ya'll keep coming up with outstanding projects like this? Got most of the stuff for the amp except the PS pieces and iron. Still deciding on which power trannie to use. Of course this will end up costing me twice as much as it should since I tend to double up on everything cause I'll screw up the first set of parts!

So Fred, wanna offer any deals on routing out the front baffles?

Line array baffles are too hard to ship because they're over 5' long, so everybody is on their own. For anybody within driving distance of Houston, if you will reimburse me for the cost of materials I'll build you a flat pack panel kit with routed driver cutouts for free.

But first lets get the prototype pair built and see if they sound good.

I agree about getting it going first. I tried to make a homemade router jig for recessing my 2 Pi drivers and it worked OK, but I wouldn't use it on something like this project. I'll just have to break down and buy one of the jigs for doing it right.

I'm ready to get this going......C

If anybody decides they're going to build enough speakers to justify buying a router, be sure to get a plunge router - this type is needed to use the circle jig. You don't need an expensive one. Mine is a $99 Ryobi.
