  • I also prefer #2, especially with those 4 bolt mids.

  • I like it as-pictured.

    I have a signature.
  • Thanks guys, you confirmed what I was thinking.

  • 1 as I don't like the woofer and mid holes lining up

     John H, btw forum has decided I don't get emails
  • huh I put a "#" and it changed the font

  • I am really digging the old school monkey coffins these days. This looks great to me.

    But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!
  • 2, no north / south screw holes.

  • Ha! Mine to, John

  • The fact that the holes line up on the mid and woofer is what gave me pause, and made me question the orientation.

    Thanks. I might be dating myself,but monkey coffins are what everyone had when I was young, so as much as like to build oddball shapes, monkey coffins hold a special place in my heart. Cue the violins and tears. Lol

  • Monkey coffins are awesome.

  • I've got a Vifa NE 12 inch woofer for an upcoming build.

  • Do you only have one?

  • I ordered a pair of those newfangled 12" GRS subwoofers last night. The ~40Hz F3 in a smallish sealed cabinet are what sold me - perhaps a reborn Le Singe Sarcophogi is in the cards...

    I hadn't really looked at that booger. Wow, high sensitivity, very high Qms, and a high value price. That'd be a cookin build..

    Not particularly senstive, but not bad. Should play to ~250Hz or so before the inductance induced distortion becomes a problem. Realistically, it is more like 9-10mm of Xmax - not sure I like how PE is marketing the Xmax on the new GRS drivers. Some drivers can stay linear as the coil leaves the gap, but it takes a pretty well designed motor and soft parts to do so - I really doubt this woofer benefits from either. Its a $40 retail priced 12" driver. I am far more interested in it from a budget monkey coffin perspective than anything else.

  • This is how I lined the mid enclosure, fiberglass on the walls and ultra touch in the center.

  • Everything you do (or at least share with us) is great Nick!

  • Here's my latest finishing goof. Some how I managed to drip on a finished cabinet. So more sanding and reapplication of Armor seal.

    Thanks Craig, I share the things that i think guys might find interesting.

  • Yeah, I'd share a picture of my last paint screw up, but I'm pretty sure some of us have experienced the same :#

  • Here is a grill that I hit with 2k primer on the inside, it will be satin black when finished.

    jhollanderjr@macPWRRYD4thtryrjj45
  • Satin black is done, I shot it with a 1.8 tip holding the gun about two feet away, for a kind of spatter texture.

  • This is the finished look, classic monkey coffin from yesteryear or even from the likes of Wharfedale and others today.

  • Pressure fit or magnets?
    Btw- great fit

  • Magnets, love the neodymium.
