my DIY HT upgrades - in progress

[Anubis]

lulz, have fun. try not to destroy the staircase drywall :biggrin:

lol

I have a buddy coming to help me, it should not be too bad, there is only 1 tricky part and it looks like this

i measured it fits....

edit: man i need to go rent a rug cleaner, that looks a lot worse in that pic then it does to the eye

 

[Anubis]

we made it with no damage

 

[sdifox]

very nice.

 

[Anubis]

 

[sdifox]

lulz your speakers are suffering in that space.

 

[Anubis]

yea know, i may end up placing the subs someplace else and putting the speakers back on the floor depends on what EQing tells me when i get to it. still need to get the rear stands built

Turn basement into mancave :whiste:

 

[Anubis]

yea yea

rears are up

 

[SyndromeOCZ]

Wow, you've got a great ceiling in that room. Enough angles to break the sound up proper!

 

[iRONic]

All in all very impressive, Anubis! That must be a very satisfying feeling listening to the fruits of your labor.

How many feet to your sweet spot?

Will you need room treatments for those severe angles?

 

[Anubis]

about 9 feet to the sofa
room treatments might happen, depends on where things go from here

 

[iRONic]

Coolio.

 

[purbeast0]

wow that stand came out really nice, the finish on it looks amazing. good job man.

 

[Anubis]

fixed this cord mess last night

ran YPAO

 

[Howard]

That's an excellent in-room response. What smoothing and how many locations?

 

[Anubis]

thats at 1/12th i thought i had a SS at 1/24 (it was late) i only measured 1 with the omnimic - basically main position

 

[Anubis]

Finished the grills for the subs today - not doing grills for the speakers

just some 1x2 glued together and a magnet glued on in the corner - covered in speaker cloth. Mostly to keep the Cats from fing with the drivers which i don't think they will

Should have the Fusion 8s done soon, they got their final coat of Poly today. Just need to paint the front baffles and install

 

[Anubis]

really like how these came out

 

[sdifox]

not sure that table will hold.


PS major in underwater basket weaving? :biggrin:

 

[vshah]

if not that then basement basket weaving :awe:

speakers look awesome!

 

[iRONic]

really like how these came out

Nice, but why stain these when everything else is DuraTex?

 

[Anubis]

these got stained because they were not all made from MDF. I didnt feel like duratexing the nice Ply was a good idea.

Also these are not going with the others, these are for a different 2.1 application.

 

[iRONic]

Ah, that makes sense.

Nice work... and cute cat.

 

[JTsyo]

Nice work... and huge cat.

Looking pretty sweet. Thanks for posting your progress.
