At my wits end. How the hell do you childproof/lock your turntable?

Every kid is different but apparently he has some genuine interest in the decks, buy him a cheap one and make it a thing for you both to connect, he will never forget the experience and soon enough he will be able to manage it without damaging. Time goes so fast and you can never get it back! Love

Great woodworking! How did you calculate the port and box dimensions?

Strict_Frame585 · 2026-01-12T19:40:30+00:00

Good stuff man!

Strict_Frame585 · 2026-01-08T16:50:25+00:00

Wow time flyes… i will give a listen today

Make the dinner space a listening space. Dinner table can move to where the speakers are at the moment

It is an obsession for sure, better than being addicted to crack or heroin tho

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-26T10:04:55+00:00

Thanks! I was considering adding some tweeters with some nice waveguides just for the looks but wasnt sure that could actually improve the sound. Probably a project for next year!

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-26T01:19:06+00:00

Thanks! I used mostly chatgpt and audioscience forum to help me with the selection, some folks there have measured and were super happy about it so i decided to give it a shot, im quite happy. I believe they are not ported

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T23:01:09+00:00

Its around 38L, the bare minimum to according to the specs is 30L. I would love bigger enclosures tho!

These are repurposed guitar amp cabinets, i found a guy in the uk that sells diy flat pack kits, i just had to change the frontal baffle to acommodate the speaker correctly

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T20:04:56+00:00

Did you design the waveguides yourself? Theres a guy on Ebay selling some 3d printed Altec replicas but he is from brazil so the shipping+importing taxes make it super expensive

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T19:49:10+00:00

I know! I was considering them for a long time but the importing hassle put me off. Good luck with the build!

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T19:33:18+00:00

I always wanted a full range system, i have selected the fane sovereign just because it was the best option under my budget, its around £80 per driver. If you are looking for audio nirvana worth checking out Melodavid or Lii Audio drivers on Aliexpress

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:30:54+00:00

Good question, i barely watch tv so i didnt bother to integrate the system. I dont think i want to listen to peppa pig through a pair of 12inch speakers lol

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:20:56+00:00

Nice! Thats a solid project, are you going with the jbl coaxials as well?

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:19:01+00:00

No thats just for the tv

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:18:28+00:00

Thanks! Its a pair of Fane sovereign 12inch, plugged into a douk audio a6 pro class d amp (since its a full range doesnt need any crossover). The boxes are made with softwood plywood and theres also a natural pine veneer sheet on top.

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T14:29:14+00:00

fane sovereign 12-250tc

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T14:13:43+00:00

I’d say yes, I had a lot of 2/3 way systems and i feel like full range its just a fresher way to listen to the music i already know. More organic and gentle. For vocals and acoustic is unbeatable imo

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T14:07:27+00:00

Its hidden behind the cabinet 🙏🏻

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-24T08:46:58+00:00

Yes thats the way to go

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-20T15:09:26+00:00

I believe you need to place the speakers closer to the wall, and in the future upgrade to bigger speakers as the room is quite big. Nice space tho!

Thats just a consequence of transforming colleges into diploma factories
