Title: 20cm MDF speaker spacers
Post by: r5gtt on July 11, 2017, 01:59:54 pm
Hi all,

I'm after some 20cm woofer spacers for my pioneer ts-w201 if anyone can recommend where to get them from as I've searched hi and low but only come across 6.5" ones.

PFA
Thanks

Make them?

MDF in B&Q for £10 a sheet

Buy a cheap B&Q jigsaw for £20

Of all DIY projects, this couldn't be more simple!

Nice.  Your doors are going to rattle like buggery with those!

that sheets going to be massive as these used to be my projects in the late 90'  :signLOL: making speaker boxes for 12" pioneer sub woofers  :doh:
Oh the misses wouldn't approve as she threw away a whole roll of bubble wrap costing £80  :stupid: so mdf isn't something she'd cater for in the home!! As she threw away some not long back which would have been ideal doubled up.

Thanks, I hope not as I'm going to pack it up with dynamat but I guess that won't help 100% as these are going to be amplified as will the rear pioneer 6.5" two ways I've bought.

Right the next question is how thick can I have the spacers and would there be enough room behind the panel for let's say 1 inch thick spacers?.

Thanks
