Another bucket sub picture
Once again, I prepped a much longer message, which got deleted by the time I hit "post"... so at the risk of being rude:
Poultry,
could you please post more details about that additional "ring" i.e.
- 1 or 2 per sub (your post said you made 2)?
- what is it made of &/or how did you make it?
- What is glued together? (and what is not?)
- is the driver removable (if you remove screws?
Thanks
Ron
Today I ordered the Peerless woofer to make a bucket sub, and I also ordered one of these: http://www.parts-express.com/8-heavy-duty-waffle-style-steel-speaker-grill-black--269-107
What did you use for the two mounting rings? did you just cut them from another bucket? They look kinda of thick for that. Sorry, I just saw that question answered above...The only thing I did that differed from the original plan was to make two mounting rings. The inside of the ring uses the woofer's cut out dimension and the outside of the ring is the measurement of the bucket's inside.
I did this as I reasoned that once I siliconed the woofer to the plastic it would be permanent and I could never remove it.
I siliconed the mounting ring to the inside of the bucket and behind the plastic baffle. I used the clamps to hold the plastic baffle to the mounting ring but that was not necessary and I skipped this step on the second bucket sub.

Is the purpose of the concrete to provide some ballast so the things don't tip over, or is it to take up space in order to optimize the volume of the bucket?
That 8" grill doesn't fit over the Peerless as I have one. The 10" grill ( part # 260 373 ) does.
If you call PE before it ships they're send you the 10".
By rough calculation of volume I'll need 15-20 lb (dry) of cement mix for one sub for fill of ~3"
Sound about right?
Has anyome ever measured these, output wise? I've been considering subs & am just wondering how low these go & how I would intergrate them into my 2 speaker stereo set up.
