DavidRam's 1st Audio Build... EVER! :)

[DavidRam]

This is what was waiting at my door tonight!

Oh, and a queen size mattress & box spring, lol!

The Hertz 3ways - excellent fit and finish, the tweeters are tiny (they look big in the pic). http://www.woofersetc.com/p-9614-hsk-163-hertz-65-3-way-hi-energy-component-system.aspx?

The sub boxes - made in the USA! 3/4 thick mdf, well made and flawless inside and out. Kinda suprised at the quality, actually. I'll need to do the fiberglass resin, but they do seem to have some sort of silicone in the corners.

The little LCQ1 - slightly intimidating with all those dials and stuff... It's made in Washington State, so that makes me happy, too!

(The Skar amps came in last week, but they deserve to be in the gallery.)

The mattress is a Stearns and Foster and it will be used for many... oh sorry, that's a different forum... lol!

Nice those hertz are really going to sound awesome.

 

[DavidRam]

I can't wait!!!

The only thing I am still waiting on and probably most excited about, are the Helix subs! Install will most likely be on Monday and Tuesday next week!

More dancing bananas:

That's hertz set look damn nice

 

[DavidRam]

I hope the subs come today... that's all that's missing.

 

[Etroze86]

Any word on the subs?!?!?!?!

 

[DavidRam]

Nothing yet, and I can't find my damn tracking number. I really need to be more organized...

 

[Etroze86]

God you are such a tease lol.

 

[DavidRam]

Haha! Me?! It's UPS who is teasing here, lol!

Dear UPS, We have 308 posts on this thread and still NO German subs sitting in front of me!

 

[Etroze86]

hahahaha

 

[DavidRam]

Guten Tag!!!

Subs are in! Helix Precision line, Model P12. Made in Germany.

They are beautiful and built like a tank. I am gonna go caress them for a few minutes!

 

[Etroze86]

Those look awesome and they utilize one of my favorite basket designs

 

[BradKnob]

Ooooh!! Now we're getting somewhere

 

[DavidRam]

Finally, huh?!

The pictures don't do them justice... They are big, thick and heavy. But also really clean and shiney looking.

 

[DavidRam]

All the parts are in, install will be next week. They are saying a two day install...

We are going heavy on the sound deadening.

 

[Etroze86]

The parts look great

Thanks!! Can you get one more? What is the length of the shoulder of the basket before it tapers in to the magnet? (make sense?) And also the length of the magnet...

I want to make a paper template of the profile so I can see if I can make it fit.
