Homemade Super-Neo Woofer: THE CHEVELLE RESTORATION IS DONE, dampener recommendations??

[Dwn4BassAlan]

In case anyone is wondering where the price is at so far:

-Total Neodymium Orders; $137, $314.46, and $317.59 ------------------------------- = $769.05

-Subwoofer Motor Steel Plates; $277.77, $318.48, and $71.68 ------------------------ = $667.93

-Misc. parts (18" Gasket/Basket/CA glue/shimming material); $110.71 --------------- = $110.71

-Cone, Dustcap, & Spiders; $39.87, $14.00, and $21.79 ------------------------------- = $75.66

______________________________________________________________________________________

-Super-Neo-Woofer Subtotal (so far) --------------------------------- = $1,623.35

Remember this is the price BEFORE the MDF, and the DC 3.5k that I'll be running. I also did not include the voice coil because I forgot how much it cost to make, probably around $40 for all the materials to construct it and 1 whole day of work.

So yeah, I'd say I'm pretty invested in this project.

It was work, then I graduated and had a spare $500 after paying my tuition to finish it all off.

[sayhuh?]

LoL. When hobbies turn into addiction

/\ /\ /\x2....Haven't checked this in a while, but we all love when a simple cool idea turns into obsession and even more cool lol! looking forward to it man!

[Dwn4BassAlan]

Yeah, I'm just bummed the machined parts are going to take 20+ business days to get here............. So I wont't be constructing until NEXT MONTH! ahhhhhhhhh

I'll probably get started on the box though, just to save some time.

When you're placing the neo's you can probably use something like PVC pipe to keep them from pulling towards the pole while trying to get them into the aluminum jig and their slots you've milled in the bottom plate.

I'm not seeing how the PVC comes into play here? You mean like put PVC around the magnets as I place them in the jig?

Lol, you might be thinking I'm loaded with cash, but just to show you what I've been working on all day.......... I was up till 4 a.m designing those steel plates and counting coins to take to the bank, which then took me and a bank associate over 2 hours to wrap in the coin sleeves................I ended up with $300 in coins, and still have $10.33 left over to save for parking meters

That's only about 20% of all the coins there, I had about 20 more zip-lock bags in my car already to go, it wasn't fun........
