Building a rig

[Fused Productions]

I think he means that point in getting this rig is getting the experience from building it.
That's why I made a fatass boombox with a couple of friends. It was incredibly fun to build and the sound came out very good from the small speakers we got.
I really think you should try it out, as long as you can afford it. For the wood you should go for some Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) since it is practically made for this. It's like fiber of wood pressed and boiled together until it reaches a very stable and strong condition, if I don't mistake myself. It's pretty expensive compared to other sorts of wood so be carefull while cutting it and be sure you get your meassures are right!
Good luck building, expecting to see pics of it when done

MDF is all good and well if the rig will not be outdoors, but if it is going to be anywhere near the wet stuff go for 18mm birch ply.

I read this a bit ago about a dude who built his own rig (albeit a lot bigger than you're on about). Could be useful to you, links to a forum pretty much about building rigs and stuff.

Have you seen and heard 2 supers? It's just too much for any living room. I'm not joking but you would have to tape down everything or get rid of it in order for it not to rattle when you open it up even slightly. You wont enjoy it using it. I would build just one 15 scoop for some skanking in the living room.
I have 3 supers and use these for parties. The wood cost for 2 would be around €200 for birchply. One 15" will be cheaper.
Bear in mind that wood and drivers are not all the things you need to buy and that you will have to spend a lot more money than you would expect. Other speakers (mids & tops), wood, amps, crossovers, eq, glue, paint, screws, cables, wire,...
It all adds up. Like £10 bag said: build it once build it right. Think about it.

I'm from Belgium too btw

Fuck scoops. Horn loaded ftw.

Even a small active pa is way too loud for most peoples houses.

maybe start off with some single driver designs if you want the practice.

I've always told myself if I ever win the lottery I'm buying a huuuge rig from http://www.pksound.ca/
