Pass SLOB Build Discussion

Great work

[EDIT] What kind of finish did you use for the front baffle? It seems an oil...

Tung oil over mahogany marine plywood.

Thanks

Is it possible to sticky this thread and change title to Pass SLOB builders or similar? It would probably be useful for future builders... 🍻

Done…… comments?

Done…… comments?

Maybe merging this thread with the similar ones would be nice

No reason that I can think of. You'll need to widen the wings enough to accommodate their size. Doing so might require widening the baffle a little in order to attach the wings.

Make sure to take pictures and post them so we can see!

Nice shop! No wonder you're so fast building these. They're looking good. Is the '56 in running condition?

Just proportion the original drawing to fit your 18”

Another Pass SLOB project starts to germinate...

Bass units will be Faital Pro 15FH520 units and full-rangers will either be Aurel Bryan or Lowther, subject to audition.
