im gonna build me my own boombox, with 10 inch woofers. im gonna take the chrome bits off a jc, and bass it losely on a conion. im gonna mirror plate the front panel. im thinking a conion with 10 inch woofers crossed with a cylon. im psyched .

i never thought id get thyese woofers, theyre just too expensive -

Nice and light speakers too, perfect i just cant wait to see it.Give us a rough sketch at least .

hiya Jimski. ahhhm, its only at the conceptual stage now, in my head. i have to work out the correct volume of the cabinet first for those speakers, thatll determine how big it is. prob about the same as a conion, maybe smaller. its got to look, correct... the speakers in relation to the rest of the box, got to be the right proportion. ima create a section at the back to house all the elctronics, the main chamber will be properly sealed. its gonna be a mission, tryin ta learn about constructing the cabinet and getting it all together. as usual, pesky college gets in the way Smile

this will be a good looking diy box.
