Thanks you Mark I had lexan grab and pull so I stopped. Now I am ordering me a router shield and get the right bits and materials

Thank you so much for your videos all the hard work and time it takes to videotape this edit Etc is much appreciated.

Interesting Attempt. THANK you.

I already made this video nine years ago Mark 😌

Great video and love those acrylic rings have a great weekend Mark ✌️

There you go...I smashed that like button! 😆😀😎. Keep up the awesome work.

Working with acrylic is no joke! There are about a million different variants, and they all have their own strange characteristics, but they ALL hate to be cut, ground, filed, or otherwise manipulated. I've had sheets blow apart on me before, and that'll give you a pretty good scare! Safety Always with this stuff!

Great job Mark!!!!

You make it look so easy

by adding that second ring wont it act like a wave guide? especially at that thickness it should be noted that it would decrease the sound dispersion and make it more directional which can be a positive or negative effect. just depends on what you are looking for

Dude its like watching Bob Ross doing speaker fabrication! Keep it up the good work and thank you for all these cool things you are showing us and teaching. There are always alternatives in fabricating stuff ignore the negative pointless comments. Looking forward to see you working on some interesting fiberglass boxes :) Salute to the true router master!

How’s that cover trim piece going to affect off-axis response? I’m thinking slight waveguide or fast ring effect for on axis response. They’re nice! Hella expensive rings though. +1 on the polishing or perhaps an RGB led for backlighting? 😎

Amazing

How does acrylic do in terms of sticking ro resin when fleecing or glassing into their spot, such as pillars? How does that compare to other materials such as PVC, type-1 PVC, ABS or other materials? How about even metal? My audiofrog metal rings are glassed right into my A-pillars currently and seem to be great.

I’m having trouble finding led strip lights I can stick to my acrylic rings. How do you adhere the face of the strip lights to the rings?

Do you still use a 3D printer to do some of these smaller rings or custom pods?

Mark is awesome and this one of the best car audio channels hands down! 9 d0uchebags had to let it be known they are extra d0uchie wit their dislikes.

We're do you get that speaker

Very nice but possibly the most expensive way of making speaker rings at home short of machining them from billet. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

The best way is usually never the cheapest way. And you could substitute aluminium for the acrylic, I have. Takes longer but same basic steps.

I about passed out when I saw the price of the speakers!! Then again, if your paying for a master installers time and knowledge, it probably isn't a problem spending the cash. I do enjoy watching the channel.

Just wondering if I was to give you dimensions for a set of speakers I need to install in my car would you make to sell these rings?

Would these acrylic rings be better than say a ring made of HDPE, or PVC?

Question: (I skimmed through the video because I don't currently have enough time to watch the whole vid) but what are the benefits to acrylic rings?

Is that acrylic, or lexan? If not lexan, then can someone substitute lexan for acrylic? I have several pieces of lexan at my disposal, no need to buy something else if I can use what I already have on hand.

Gr8 video. In SA we using a product called M FOAM. Also weather proof BUT less rigid. So acrylic would be a better bet i guess. Thanks again

You could use something like king starboard, PVC foam, etc. But the acrylic will give me the ability to tap for fasteners.

Can’t you just 3D print these

Unsure of the criticism. Imperial/Metric, who cares. Acrylic more expensive than mdf. No shit. Same principles apply to achieve the same effect in whichever is your chosen material. Acrylic more expensive? Hell yeah. Does it look more impressive? Hell yeah. Would you install them in a 500 dollar shit box? F*** No. High end install for the classy customer. Great video Mark

Never trust a man with a Ryobi in hand!!

Use Metric!

What happened to this channel. It used to be useful. Now it's just an ad. You're showing all these specialized tools and bits...like the people that own them don't already know how to use them.

+cz3chmonkey I recently did a full box build using ONLY a circular saw and jig saw. You can check it out here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZplraaznb25daw.html I have also done several videos about budget tools. I try to do videos that are both basic and advanced, so it's impossible to please everyone with every video. I'm sure you understand.

Buddy, it's time to upgrade to a 3D printer. Don't be that fabricator that thinks everything has to be done the 'old fashion' way. Hehehe.

Mark doesn't make these videos for himself... He breaks this knowledge down for average DIY'ers like me and for the seasoned pros with common or affordable tools so we get exceptional results. I don't have access to CNC or 3D printing, so this is exactly the content I need!

In the US just about any calculation that is important in Engineering or Science is performed in Metric then converted to imperial when discussed with laypersons. Carpentry in not science it's Art so Mark can use whatever he wants his measurements are never going to hurt anyone.
