Hey everyone. I was looking for some tweeters for my a200's and came upon this site. I figured I would show off some of my stuff.

I got/made most of this stuff at the beginning of the year. First I got some boston acoustic a200's for 100$ that needed some work (woofer surround, loose wiring, etc). Then I bought a NAD 705 Receiver that was in great condition.
I had my little setup but couldn't find a tv stand that I liked or was solid enough so I decided to try to make one myself.
First I got the idea.

End product was this..

All the wood is Pine except for the long side pieces which are Cherry wood.

Later on I found a dvd player (Sony dvp-7000) It's pretty old for a dvd player (1999) but it was what I was looking for.. it's also in like new condition and I paid 40$ CND for it.

That's that.. I also just rebuilt an old rocking chair to give to my mom for xmas.

I also love car audio. I'd love to get more into it but I don't have the money to do it right now.
I made some speaker "enclosures" for my front speakers.

I have Alpine Spx-177a's in the front with alpine spr-69lp's in the rear. The amp is a 4-channel kicker kx350.4 with a pioneer deh-p550mp head unit.
I definetely need a sub.. I used to have infinity kappa's all around and they filled in way more in the lower frequency than the rear type-r's do.

That's my audio setup so far

Greetings from The Land Down Under. Nice work but if you've been around this forum for a while you'll know that someone is bound to question your use of mild steel for the frame and suggest you use non ferrous metal (for acoustic reasons)!!!!
Good luck and have fun.

Ludapower · 11th December 2006, 08:03 PM

Haha Yeah I'm expecting someone to question me or something.
The steel was FREE by the way. I don't see how it has to do with acoustic reasons but what do I know (even if it does I bet it's nothing anyone would ever notice). But please, let's not continue with this topic lol

I shall use the right steel.
I shall use the correct type of drivers.
I shall use OFC cable in all applications.

Now repeat ten times. Then and only then, you'll find yourself a worthy member of this forum.

How many posts does it take for me to be able to post whenever I want without someone giving it the A OK ?

Actually I don't mind. I was just bumping this thread to get more comments
