Hi Bob,

Are those the same drivers that Dave had in his Super Boom Box?
I'd be interested.

Best Regards,
Terry

Terry,

There was a dipole/OB design with some full range (Jordans?) a couple of years back. Not sure if that's what Dave used.

Dave's "Franken-Creation" resembled a huge Open Baffle based on a big packing crate (for a Piano?) more than anything else. I might add that it was decidedly DIY, although it (unfortunately) lacked that final touch...APTS!*
It had, as I recall, a small shelf on each side for a small speaker to be placed.

Tone sauce... I like that. Can I use that for a name for my DIY guitar amp? Some Tone Sauce for your GuitarBQ...

<EDIT> These guys would probably sue me: http://www.toneproducts.com/sauces_marinades.php

Terry's "tone-sauce", aka "gravy" bear a striking resemblance to the much revered BONDO!!
Oh, his diy speakers sound pretty good too!

Do you (okay, do I) have to be there to win? Did they donate only FR stuff for you crossover haters? I'm old-school and still prefer crossovers and tweeters, mids and woofers. I'm not as old school as Cal, (not sure that's possible, as far as speakers are concerned ) but I haven't been bitten by the FR bug yet.

..Todd

 

[planet10]

Yes, you need to be present.

I don't know yet what they are donating.

Okay Dave. I might not have time to change out of my hockey gear. I'll be the smelly guy wearing skates, eh. (to distinguish me from all the other smelly guys wearing helmets.)

Exactly. Sometimes cleverly disguised as baseball caps.

Is there a particular time when all this goes down? Or is it more during the day, or evening?

 

[planet10]

Small items a number of times during the day, big raffle right after supper.

[Cal Weldon]

The things we remember happen during the day. After hours is anyones guess.

If a little is good, then too much is even better.
What about a full coverage Aluminum Foil Body Condom?

We do get a lot of lightning around here - you go 1st!!!!

p.s. Give P10 and the gang a break and don't try it at the fest.

Try it when your coming back across the border - at the Customs check point of entry.
