Half Chili build

hwong · 21st November 2008, 03:19 AM

Built my first FR using an AN8 std. Decided to build one with a Fostex. Settled on the 167 and ordered a 167EN from Dave.

While waiting for the driver, started on the cab. Done up a cut sheet and find out that can build the speakers on 1 4x8. Went to Home Depot and bought a sheet of 3/4 Birch ply and got it ripped.

With this cabinet grade b ply, the birch is definitely way thiner than BB ply

The stack of cut pieces. Have to recut a few pieces, the guy that put the sheet thru the panel saw at Home Depot got some pieces dimension wrong.

Dry fit the pieces

Glued up the edges with birch edging. Tha's all gluing I have done.

I also cut the holely brace but did not cut the holes yet. Wanted to get the drive and get the right mesaurements for the driver cutout before cutting the holes.

Also try to glue the chamber but have to ripped it apart because pretty hard to get it square and snugg. Will have to glue all pieces at once (with the holely braces). Guess will have to wait for the driver to arrive before can go any further.

Nice work! I can only imagine what the FE167eN's will sound like -- I'm envious!
