Willy iine 18806 Posted March 17, 2022 @topforcein Oh wow, I’ve not seen those since the 80’s? Nice find. My recent awesome audio harvest (?) was a Bday gift from my wife last month for a stereo keyboard amp called KP500S by MotionSound. It has dual 12” Eminence drivers and a simple but effective EQ and enhancer where the audio is unbelievably dimensional with tons of character for music and keyboards. 500w power and more than enough headroom for my little 300sq ft music room. Have fun with your speaker project! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure why you would put holes in a vented enclosure! Maybe they were mounted somehow? They could be quite cool when sorted! From what I read they are good LOUD, hope you have somewhere suitable to set them up! I live in an old semi-d with neighbours I'd like to keep so my gear is all packed away the holes where done by the previous owner they could have been mounted by the previous owner they where from 1984 sold by tandy's they replaced the mach 1's i do live in old semi also the one neighbour i dont care about as he is a complete douch tool and the other dont mind as they do play theirs loud also. when i moved in i had a pair of jamo laser power speakers with 15"'s and was larger than these mach 2's and i sold them as i had both sides elderly people so i sold them and to this day i regret selling them to this day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeWings 2830 Posted March 18, 2022 So much great stuff going on... @Ziddan I love the build and Dredd is a great fit for it. Drok! Oh, and don't know if you solved it already but I used Velcro for my removable drivers. @Yoshimitsuloving the look of the Alfa so far, great colour choice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, almost all done. I need to raise the front up a little. At the moment it's attached with screws, but I think I will go with body posts, not least because they give a little flex. I am super busy at work preparing to be off for paternity leave, getting myself ready for a baby, and also re-mortgaging my house, so I have only had little snippets of an evening to work on this, but I want to get some photos in the Sun, hopefully this weekend and finish off the electronics.

I have to do this to an MK subwoofer. Thinking of trying it myself. I don't have a problem with doing the mechanical part of it, just not sure it there's any pre-prep that needs to be down for perfect alignment before gluing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ministrone 1455 Posted March 18, 2022 No, they’re the wheels that came with the VW Karmann Ghia kit. I was trying to go for an early S1 or S2 Europa look with steel wheels and wing mirrors but without the silver sill covers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alvinlwh 5895 Posted March 18, 2022 Took the Thunder Dragon and the TCR-M out for a drive. The TD's TZ has new brushes and the body is ready for the TCR-M now, so it will not be running naked this time. Have not driven the dragon since winter and it is horrible on dry surface. Traction rolled so much that I lost 2 body clips. The TCR-M is much more enjoyable. To my surprise, it gain about 3mph more with the body on. I last heard the police are looking for the driver doing 37 in a school zone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
