I think you need to advise your local seismic activity monitoring station ... don't want them recording misleading data!  Eek!

No, that's not a duplicate pic. That's sub #2  Grin

If these pics aren't right side up, my apologies. I made the changes in photobucket, but they don't seem to be reflected here.   Huh?


Below is some quick boxes for the subwoofer amps.




A few things to share Festool-wise. Most of the panels I needed to cut from previously ripped 35" sheets. This presented a problem in that I couldn't use one parallel guide, as my table is too wide.

Best option was squaring up one guide and using a clamp at the other end.



One challenge was to cut a 52 degree bevel. With my first sub, I tilted the guide with a shim, cut a scrap piece and measured the angle. Subtracted that from 52 degrees and set my saw bevel accordingly.

For the second sub, I tried every which way with my table saw to do the same thing, and simply couldn't find a safe and effective way of doing it without making an elaborate jig.  Unsure

So back to the TS55 and the guide.  Embarassed

Another issue was with the Kapex. I had used my Kapex very little but discovered that it was out of square when cutting short pieces. Checking further, I realized the fence was crooked.  Eek!

To their credit, a call to Festool resulted in getting a new fence shipped promptly, and with no hassle.

Gotta work this weekend but hope to have the second sub in operation next week .  Big Grin

Second THTLP assembled and in operation.  Big Grin I won't be heartbroken if I don't see another tube of PL Premium for a while.



Picture above needs another nail, it seems.



I decided to lay down the first one, and noticed a gain in performance.



After enjoying them, they will be back in the garage to be finished.

As for performance?

 Eek!

Holy crap...now that's a sub.

Pl premium is the ideal glue? Interesting

PL expands as it dries, ensuring air-tight joints, which are paramount in this build. White glue just doesn't cut it.

The heart beat in Dark Side of the Moon revealed some loose parts in my fireplace. Smiley

With that I will be smiling for the rest of the day Smiley

Great job
