large fibreglass pipe? - Click HERE for Original Thread
ThyDntWntMusic
can anyone think of a good use for it?



can get 1.1 and 1.2 meter diameter pipe... 20mm wall thickness, and lengths from 2.3 meters to 12 meters...

$55 per meter, just expensive...

but, what could I use it for? :D haha

Sorry, that's just too big for a potato cannon. ;)

port for 100 12inch subwoofers?

I'd really really love to do that :D

but where do I get 20,000watts to run them? :p

Could you please supply the links for the supplier, that price sounds way too cheap, I've been quoted that much for Sonotube in 12inch diametre and I can think of a use for a couple of 1metre lengths

he only has precut lengths, the shortest being 2.3 meters..

how do you plan on cutting it? :p haha

You must have some really big potatoes. I just went to the garden and measured some of ours. None bigger than 800 mm. ;)

With a great big fiberglass pipe cutting saw, of course. ;)

Fiberglass pipe? I wonder what it gets used for? Seems like an expensive way to make a pipe.

you could use it to make a Taiko drum...

OH!!! I want one, I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beats my brother-in-law's Tympani.
Seriously though at that price I'd take one but the postage cost will be a REAL killer

I'm still trying to work out how I could get a full 12 meter long piece to my house... haha :smash: :whazzat:

I'm thinkin' a subwoofer for the space challenged! Poke it through the roof with a manifold in the room! There ... space problem fixed! ;)

You could make a human habitrail house, or you could cut a bunch of ~2m lengths stack them up, put beds in them and make one of those "pod" hotels like they have in japan and like they are building in airports now.

buy a bunch of 18's and only use like 4 feet of the tubing. build some big thick baffles, and some legs so the thing wont roll. get a couple thousand watts and make yourself a HT sub....thats what i would do. just make sure it will fit in a doorway :smash:

I THINK he might have sold out of pipe! :( HAHAHA!!!
