MDF



Half the fun of DIY is trying to get the best value. Well I scored in the Home Depot scrap bin. Someone must have mis cut several pieces of 3/4 MDF, because I got several partial sheets for $2.01 each so here's 6 bucks worth instead of 20

Hola Amigos !!

Value is king in the driver and crossover parts selection in this project so I'll be going with the Dayton RS 180s, RS 150s and RS125s mated with The Seas 27tbfcg. There are several designs with the Dayton tweeters but they run an extra 20 bucks each and since the Seas is at least its equal, I wanted to go with that. On five speakers this saves almost 100 bucks.

To pull off the project I'll be using CJD (Chris') RS 150 center channel and Pete Schumacher's RS 180MTM project for the left and rights. Pete is reworking the crossover (less baffle step) to better suit the location. (Thanks Pete!) The surrounds Are by Shawn Adams.
