I didn't realize that there was some rule as to picture size, I just went to the "Rules" tab and read up on all the rules again. I didn't see any prohibitions on picture file size.
I haven't posted any pictures since the other moderator complained. And in the future I'll make it a point not to. Well maybe I will for the benefit of someone who really wants to see something but otherwise not.

That thing lasted 20 years,thats amazing! jer
Irfranview is great program, simple, quick,powerful,great editing features and it free!

I think I did try brads once and bent every one tryin get it through the partical board.
I have never used mdf because I couldn't find any when I built that cabinet.
And the last ones I built were just some little ones and didn't think it justified $40 a sheet.
But now I wish I had and doubled up on the thickness aswell,live and learn. jer

Sorry my friend, them's just what I did with a couple Altec 604 8H's and a prototype CSS SD15 🙂
Not meaning to gloat but 20 years is not the end all around here buddy.
Geez, I hope that's free. Sounds like more than I can do in 5 minutes 🙂
A finish nail or staple gun works well. (Compressed air.) Cut straight, glue the joint, and fire away.
This has been discussed, at length to some, along with other helpful hints.
I agree, don't hesitate to read more of the thread.

Butt joints and drilling end grain didn't seem the right way to do things when I put my speakers together. Butt joints can a pain to align and clamp. Whilst drilling end grain on MDF, even with pilot holes is a lot of work and the MDF can bulge.
I instead used biscuit joints. Once I'd played around with a biscuit joiner for an hour or so I realised that I could produce very strong joints that aligned perfectly and stayed align when I clamped them up.
The speakers were build with an inner 18mm MDF carcase, cross braced, all biscuit joined using PVA. Wrapped around the inner was another 18mm MDF box, again biscuit joined but epoxied together and to the inner. Heavy and very strong.
And a couple of pictures...
The final speaker, one of two 🙂

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

They sound pretty wonderful. The combination of a 10" bass unit in a sealed box and the mid plus tweeter on an open baffle is the right combination for me.
I've put together a pdf with details and build notes BoM - final-revamp-1.pdf
I can't take credit for the design. I just 'smoothed' the shape and swapped the tweeter.
Cheers

A pair of these might just have to go on the project list!
Thanks for such detailed info, It may take a while but will keep you posted on progress. In the mean time I have joined PFM and will look into James (fellow Kiwi)work.

The problem with these speakers is that the bass unit is no longer manufactured. However, there does seem to be a glut of them in Australia, well there was last time I looked.
The original built thread is PFM Special - a simpler and more affordable DIY loudspeaker design - pink fish media My build is on the end of James's design posts.
Oh and welcome to PFM. James has built a few speaker designs which have been documented on PFM, try searching for 'Ergo'.
