@saleplains2 жыл бұрын
@@andrewturner1714 i know its late but if i had to guess id say somewhere between 500 and 1000 to have a skilled fab guy build you one. This is why its so incredible that channels like this exist just putting this info here for anyone who wants it. even without a router table you can pretty easily build something almost as nice as this for under 100$ if you DIY

CarAudioFabrication correct. VERY few believe in quality. But far too many want to charge as if they were building the highest quality results. I told someone recently, if you don't have the money for the high quality stuff maybe you should step down in size...not quality. Most of the time you'll spend LESS in the long run by getting better quality over bigger size.

Hi Mark, What is the depth of that rabbet cut on the back sides of the MDF? I'm guessing 1/16"? I'd like to use this technique to wrap some speaker baffles in tolex (vinyl) with contact cement, and I'd like to accurately account for the thickness of cement + vinyl. Last question... does the home center grade of DAP weldwood (red can) work well enough for indoor projects? That Landau cover cement is $50 for a gallon, and I will not need an entire gallon of the stuff. Thanks for sharing your process!
