Hmmmm.. I wonder if there are any enclosure builds in here using these? I know they're rather popular for home sub builds.
Lots of SPL boxes utilize those sono tubes. Very stiff for how thin the walls are.

I have used them in round over areas for my midbass door pods. Stripped off the wax layer on the inside, removed the paper layer on the outside and then glued multiple layers together with Titebond III to get more thickness. Then I glassed both the inside and outside of the cardboard. Makes for some fairly strong, light, none resonant enclosures.

Thought about using them for my subs manifolds, but decided on wood because it would hold a screw without addition hardware (actually there were many other reasons too, but too much to go into detail about). But I willing to bet it would work if I built them like the midbass enclosures and used plywood endcaps.

Is this going to become the "repost every link ever posted in DIYMA" thread? ;)

Not trying to be redundant - just trying to be helpful in this thread. I apologize if something is off here. (maybe me and my rocker) :);):eek::surprised::lol::biggrinflip:
 
Nope. Just giving you a hard time. I am sure it is much appreciated.

It would be nice if all of these could be consolidated into a single post up front, if possible. I know our admins have nothing else to do. :D

That would be good - when I get some time I will try to copy everything into the first post maybe - what do you think?

Hmmm...I see that it seems that you have about a day or so to edit a post so I cannot go back to the first post and hence your comments.

So, in my next post I will try to list all the sites that have been linked into one post.

I'm not so sure about Zalytron. Haven't seen a way to actually buy something on there in a while.
