That's the way I've been using the PL so far w/ great results. It's really (so far) only on the mounting of the midrage chamber to the baffle that there's maybe a 1/16" gap. Thanks for the info and I'll apply the PL on there to seal it up air tight.
yeah, just goop the heck out of it. i used a skilsaw, so i had the odd fitting joint here and there. in an attempt to minimize the effect of these, i first glued the living heck out of the area in question, then used some extra thin screws to cinch the two pieces together. after the pl expanded and dried, a bit of sanding, and you couldn't tell there was an issue to begin with. pl is awesome stuff.
Yea Im trying to do mine without any screws/nails and only PL. Do most people use some type of fastener beside the glue? I realize that it's a lot more time consuming without them, and on top of that I only have 4 clamps. But I dont even have all the other components that I need so why hurry.

TB runs fine under Linux, I run Ubuntu 10.10 with Firefox (whatever the repositories ship) and both links work fine for me.
Now that I re-read my reply, it could simply be that the application software that is generating the wiki (some sort of PHP content management system I'd guess) is case sensitive, and for all I know it could be running on Windows Server 2008. So mentioning Linux at all is a huge red-herring. Pretend you never saw it.
But since you say both links work for you... no Firefox on Vista still treats the links differently (one works, the other doesn't). Or at least on my machine it does. Weird. When you say it works, you mean it has all the content too right? Because a page comes up on both links, but one has no content (the second one I listed)... that's because a wiki doesn't have physical pages, it just takes the last bit and uses it as a key to find content in a database. When that key isn't correct, the page renders, but without any content. Just like when you type nonsense at the end of a wikipedia URL (for instance [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) it doesn't fail to load the page, it just says "I haven't got anything on this yet, would you like to make an entry?". That's what's happening here, but it's more insidious because at a quick glance FEARful_FAQ and Fearful_FAQ look identical. And in systems that are case-insensitive, they ARE identical, because case doesn't matter then.
Ok, way more info on this subject than anybody wants to know I suppose. After I wrote wiki over and over, it finally dawned on me I could do something to improve the situation, so I added a link on the "bad" URL to the correct one. Duh...
Whether or not a URL is case sensitive is 100% dependent on the server hosting the URL.
Have to agree. A 15/6 with no tweet sounds like the ticket. The upper mids and treble can be turned down on the amp/eq.
You can give it shot with the 3015LF alone, I know I did.
I finished the 15/6/1 cab and installed the 3015LF while I was waiting for crossover parts. Just had to fire it up and see what the 3015LF would do.
Tons of bottom, more lows than I'd ever gotten from the GK, but nothing like a usable sound.
I put it with the TL-606/3015 and I had a scooped, almost workable sound, again lots of lows. Not as good as the 606/3015 alone.
Good luck!

Getting closer.
That is some serious cab porn right there. Beautiful! Why are there two crossovers? Or is the crossover just so big that you can't fit it all in one place? You're building 12/6/1's, correct? I forgot about the additional section for the horn. I think I just answered my own question.
More pics when you can, please. I'm living vicariously through you guys until I can build my own in a few months.

I am building 15/6/1s and yes the second crossover is for the tweeter. Thanks for the positive words. It has been a fun and educational build.
I know it's been said before but thanks to Greenboy for all his hard work as well as Duke and Passinwind for their contributions to the fEARful. I would also like to thank anyone who has answered any of my questions. Am I rambling?

Very close. I just need a couple more shop days to complete the 15/6 and the 12/6. The 15/6 jigs are virtually done. I still need to cut out another cab and fine tune them. The 12/6 will derive off of 15/6 pretty quickly. The goal is tinkertoy assembly. What takes the most time is considering where and how to place biscuits, order of assembly, trying to anticipate where and how there will be a problem. If you don't need it repeatable, biscuit construction is super fast. Just mark two panels and cut. But to do it over and over requires some precision.
I've done all the prototyping in baltic birch. I bought some Auraco for the final testing.
I'll have flat pack kits and completed cabs. Completed cabs are available now, but you'd have to wait until I finish the flat packs. There will be some details on the cabs I build that you won't find anywhere else. Got to save some secrets.

Good news. So, to say...its safe for people to start contacting you to place orders or start kicking tires? I know that I get a number of PM messages regularly from TBers looking for builders or sources for kits, and I'd love for them to be able to hook up with reputable work right off.

For complete cabs sure. I have a 15/6/1 and a 12/6/1 cube finished that were prototypes to work from. They're already sold. For flatpacks I'm still in process. No prices on them until I have it dialed.

More or less, how long would it take from "place an order to a complete empty box+ parts" landing on my doorstep?
