Hi all, I'm another newbie here and most of the way through my first build. I just got to the stage where I need to seal up the lid of my box, but I'm a bit scared as I don't want something to go wrong internally and have to smash up the box to get to the guts again. I know there isn't much to go wrong in there, just the piezo (and my soldering!), so just wondered how long piezo's go for?
Cheers guys, this is the best web site out there!

Cheers mate, and thanks to all the advice from everyone. I got so caught up in the notion that I had to seal the lid, that I missed the obvious! I think I will simply screw it shut for now and see how it goes. Besides everyone I show it to, wants a peek inside anyway!
Must be the most resourceful and recyclingest bunch on the web! Thanks guys!!

Welcome to the forum, Julian. Back to you original question, I think piezos last a long time, but there is no reason to seal you box. Screws or a latch works well.
Yeah, sorry Julian - I got it all a bit sidetracked..

Nice to meet you and all that ;)

Hi,
Please call me David - firstly I would like to apologise to Mr Perry for changing the direction of the topic - not intentional but due to over enthusiasm on my part.
In answer to your question the cone is a 7inch resonator cone I obtained from an ebay seller he has one listed at the moment
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2303821044...
the seller is full of excellent information and a pleasure to deal with.
Regards,
David

Mr. Lloyd,
I know this is quite off topic, but what are you using for the cone?
Thanks, I'm trying to plan out a resonator for a future build.
No worries David, it's all very interesting to me, if a little advanced for the stage I'm at! I'm stock-piling all the info for future builds! There will be more....oh yes!
Cheers
