IOWA DIY 2010
Speaker building at it's very best
Welcome to the official 2010 website. This event has been
going on for quite a few years now and has evolved into the great event that it
is today. However it can only be as good as the people that attend so come on
out to Iowa and see what great homebuilt speakers sound like and see why we
love the DIY hobby so much.
The Date this year has been set for October 16 in
Grinnell Iowa, once again at the Harris Center on the campus of Grinnell
College. The doors will open at 8 AM and the music will start at 9 AM sharp. We
will run till about 6 PM.

to use the address and please put Iowa DIY in
the subject line or your email will most likely get filtered.

rules: There aren't any this year. Just sign up and bring your
speakers. You have to sign up to get
a spot. I will need the name and cost of your speaker before spot is reserved.
Don't forget to bring some music, ten minutes of your best stuff. Please have it on one disk. It
really is a pain to swap out disks.
Sponsors: There aren't any. I've been too busy to chase
them down and the drawing always takes an hour so it's gone too.
The speakers will run from the most expensive to the
least expensive. The cost is based on the current retail cost of drivers and
crossovers only!
There will be evaluations sheets available but there is
no contest this year. So if you want feedback make sure you let everyone know
so they can fill out the forms.
That's it plain and simple this year, much more of a show
and tell. No contest to be found. The upside is there will be time for more
speakers.
I will be having a reception at my house again on the
Friday evening before the event. I will post a map to my house as the date gets
closer. (5pm-10ish or when everyone leaves.)
Change of plans.
Due to work I will not be hosting a reception at my house on Friday night. I
would like to meet at Lonski's Deli. They have a bar,
good food, and a pool table. With Iowa's new smoking law it doesn't reek of
smoke so it should be good for most everyone. They moved location a few months
ago. If you look at the map of Grinnell they are just north of the corner of
4th and Main.
I know it's sounds like I am slacking this year and I am
a bit but mostly it's because I have been uber busy
and it's not going to let up anytime soon so it is what it is. If you really
need or want to talk to me send me an e-mail with your number and the best time
to reach you and I will call you back.
