Anybody done it?
I'm currently building my own tower and am checking up on speaker options. I could easily make some tubes out of aluminum but I kinda think that it'd be more interesting to have some shape to em. If I went with glass I could cut a couple of MDF rings for the speakers and the opposite wall, brace the two with dowels, and add anykind of shape I want. After that I just stretch a tshirt over the whole thing and tack it down tight with some crazy glue. Lay the epoxy/glass on top of the tshirt and sand/paint the whole thing. I would think that the MDF/glass would give a better sound than aluminum as well as looking less bazooka-ish. Also, for the guys with aluminum cans, are you lining the inside with dynamat or something? Seems like the aluminum would have some weird resonance going on. _________________ A good friend will bail you out of jail. A great friend will sit next to you saying, "man that was cool as f*ck!"
