    I genuinely applaud and at the same time envy your motivation to experiment. I wish i had just half of it. Been going thru some of the "crap" that life can sometimes hand you for the last several months. Hopefully when this chapter is over i can get my heart deeper back into this hobby than just participating at the discussion forum level.

    Keep on tweakin, you're an inspiration to at least some of us!

    Re: OT- So....how Is Everybody?

    Thanks guys, To tell the truth Bowtie, I'm breathing at about 50 % capacity right now. Spent my life sucking lacquer fumes, carbide dust, MDF dust, and most recently at work Silica dust.
    I feel like I'm closer to deaths door than I care to be. Oh and the 36 years of Marlboro reds at a pack a day isn't helping either. Sometimes I think I'm just striving to get it right so the next person who get's my stuff can just sit back and enjoy it. Stay strong Brother.

    I have 3 projects to do, the worst one is dealing with this mess.

    Since none of the holes in the front are being used except the speaker hole, I'm thinking I should set the router at 3/4 deep and just mow the baffle off and install a new one.
    the others are redoing the carpet on the back wall, It's sitting here just needs to be cut and installed.
    and redoing the crossovers now that I know I'm happy with them. I should order new parts except for the inductors. The caps and resistors have been twisted and untwisted too many times and it would just make it nicer and easier to do.

    you could make a circular foam cover for the driver, and use some of the holes to hold the cover mounting pegs...

    Cradeldorf, so sorry to hear about your condition, it is amazing the things that people come in contact with and "no one told them they should protect themselves" I hope you use masks at all times now when needed, and purify the air in your house the best you can, lots of plants too, start juicing too!!!!! You obviously are a good carpenter, why havent you tried some of the MLTL designs with your cabinets? Is that because the 604's you have dont go that low?

    Re: OT- So....how Is Everybody?

    I worked a little on a MLTL calculation but it seems as though it ended up being massive in size. GM confirmed that suspicion. I smothered the cabs in black carpet for now. Also redid the wall behind them with it too. It cut down the sharpness of them. I seem to be having really good luck with the Aperiodic setup. Glad I tried it. Very nice smooth deep bass and cut out some more sharpness with it too. That's after at least 7 start ups and listens. Here's a picture of my aperiodic vent. Basically 2 layers of really thin black carpet. I get it at Menards. It comes 6 foot wide.

    I got my wings on my A210's roughed in and the crossovers for my Azura horns. I can't believe the difference wings make. I'd post some pics but I keep getting a message that I am over my 1 MB limit?

    I used to have that problem, after constantly deleting them to make room for new I started converting them to gif's in photoshop. Then I could have about 100 before I reached my limit. Although they still resized them so you couldn't get a good look at them. Now I just post them to flickr and link them.
