|
|
There were a couple of good posts on the previous board detailing how to build your own tower speaker tubes. Most of them used 6" PVC but I never saw whether they used 5 1/4" or 6 1/2" speakers.
Any help?
Thanks |

There used to be a good article on wakeboarder.com on how to do it out of MDF/Aluminum/Fibreglass. I'm sure you'll be able to find it once the site is fully operational again. If you don't want to put a whole lot of time into it though, like more than 2 hours work, I wouldn't reccomend this method. That is recently what I did and I probably got 10+ hours of
work into sanding and finishing the enclosures. I should have picutures of them this afternoon if your interested in seeing what they look like though. Two enclosures each hold two 6.5" speakers. |

I got a pair of speakers off ebay from a guy who makes them with 6 1/2 pvc. The work great for the price. |

That is 6 inch pvc. You can get it at a commercial plumbing supply store. The speakers are 61/2 inch sony explodes. |

What did you cap the PVC with? It looks like a rubber cover or something |

Those are rubber end caps from a plumbing supply place. They fit nice and tight over the ends. If you go to a commercial plumbing supply,they will have several different types of end caps. I mounted some nice gold connectors on the ends also. |
