Oh in no way is this a call out. I am certain all is good. I would not have went with him if I even had a hint of something going bad. He is a great guy and has helped me out with this box and subs and helped me get great deals so I appreciate what he has done for me alot. But I mean this has been over a 2 month build and well it was suppose to be shipped on a date and I guess it was not and I cant get ahold of him to see if there is an issue nothing more. Not mad just looking for some kinda info...

I mean this man built a beast of a box for half of what the other people on this site wanted me to pay. Plus, Don used birch the others were just mdf and wanted alot more then don wanted. Don did not clear much on this box build but some are not all about busting heads.

Then don is the way to go. All other builders on this site wanted double what don wanted and I know it would not have look as nice and well it would have been built out of heavy azz mdf which is cheaper then birch but yet they wanted double the price??? Makes no sence other then money hungry..

Dang!!!!! I hope I am not included in this other builder too high stuff........because I am doing up to 3.5 cube enclosures for $99.00 plus shipping.........Take $99 and subtract wood, carpet, speaker wire, glue, terminal cup, screws, and not to mention the HOURS to build most enclosures if you want them to look good and that doesn't leave much money.......In the next few days I am going to build a few enclosures out of cabinet grade plywood and upload pics.......Stronger and lighter than MDF.....The reason most of my enclosures are MDF is because someone has most people convinced that it's the only wood for speaker boxes.......Back in the 90s when I was winning comps it was with a Particle board box that was properly built and braced.......thanks guys

thanks for the concern BUT that piece is the top baffle. i should have noted that. but hey! ITS DONE here are more pics:

the port

attached with t-nuts, NOTE weather stripping was used on other edge. the port is detachable in which in the future IF he wanted a higher tuning i could make him another port, as in going with different subs/goals

high gloss finish on the wood:

Box is beautiful and is wanging in Dennis' car as of last weekend. Cutouts for subs were WAY too small though, but we worked through that...
