My 4.5" fullrange speakers arrived. They sent the wrong ports. I ordered 2"x7" they sent 3"x12". It's ok. I have time. I am still ordering a Rockwell Versacut saw. I planning to DIY 5L ported boxes.

When I was still in QC, I bought MDF from a wood supplier along Roosevelt Avenue in San Francisco Del Monte, QC.

Topwood yata pangalan. P1200  per 4'x8' sheet, but that was around a year ago, di ko alam kung tumaas na price.

My saw is in the mail. Waiting game. I tested the drivers in free air and the top end is sparkling and detailed. I'm excited with this.

Nakaka inspire mga full range builders parang gusto ko sumali sa kulto na to....

hehehehe...

Okay lang ba kahit 50 watter na amp ang gamitin para sa fullrange build or advisable talaga na low powered SETs?

It will do in the meant time. May gains ka pa din in a terms of point source imaging and lack of crossover. How well it sounds depends on the rest of your source, gears and your room.

Be warned though that this route is not cheaper. But for us set users, it is the practical way to go.

Yes it is really exciting. The Versacut is very light and not too intimidating. I ripped through some small logs this afternoon. I cut up a fallen tree for disposal. Very able saw. It's 110v though. My outlets are 110v.

This week I'll shop for wood and clamps.

P1200 pa din ang 18mm mdf sa Topwood, Roosevelt. Problem is buo. I need a way to transport a whole board. My saw is 110v so I cannot cut on site.

Bro Gino,

Did you ask them if they can do cutting services for a minimal fee? Alam ko kasi malaki yung TopWood na yan e, nasa likod ng shop nila yung cutting facilities nila and for their wood storage, like a small warehouse, parang may nakita akong circular table saw sila years back when I went there.

They said they don't cut. The can allow ac use for a personal saw. However 110v ang saws ko. Anyway, I'll start looking for a big vehicle.

padeliver, if ok per remington...
else, do you have a stepdown transformer (100V or 110V)  that you can bring?
pede rin makihiram sa Topwood if they have...
500w transformer may do the job (?)...pedeng bitbitin na rin
