The Dark Side of DiyAudio within me/you

I have a sin to confess. The devil within got hold of me when I was watching the news tonight!

I was watching the news clip on tele showing the funeral in Rome there when I saw John Paul's wooden coffin I said to myself out loud

" WoW..That's an excellent speaker box design! Look at that shape ! and the size of it! The finish is so beautiful and if I can cut a hole there and mount a driver here....and.. "

I feel so ashamed now

Come on Chris, cheer up

That could happen to any of us, loving wellcrafted woodwork

Steen.

Ps. How do you think that coffin would sound with a Lowther installed?

May have wood on the outside, but it has to be lead lined in order to keep moisture out. You can bet that they didn't cut any corners in the design.

Yeah.......it might really be a good speaker cabinet. Funny how the Catholic Church always seems to have money, but us lowly Papists are almost all universally poor. Must be a connection.

Don't be ashamed, same thing crossed my mind, jejejej

never crossed my mind - I like stereo, mono is out! and two popes at the same time - that happened too long ago, no speaker building then.

Actually,

IIRC, they were going to fully encase the wooden coffin in zinc and then another layer of wood after the zinc.

Don't worry Chris. There was a thread a little while ago that dealt with that same issue. Coffins would make great cabinets. It's not like you thought that the Pope should be left in there as stuffing is it? If so you should be ashamed.

Heck, I should be ashamed for suggesting it. I should also be ashamed for using the neighbours pesky cat for stuffing in my last sub project. The darn thing almost scratched it's way through the cone before going silent.

Scary. It really made me Shiva.

I’ll remain silent…I don’t build speakers.
But oohhh if this could have been an amplifiers case…
