FE103e's are a hell of a deal.

They do best in either horns or mass loaded TL's - stay away from regular bass reflexes, and definitely avoid sealed alignments.

Half inch stock will do.

Ok, so I can use 1/2" for that, good deal. Do I need deflex pads or somethin behind the speaker?

Would it matter any if I used solid walnut for all the exterior panels instead of a birch ply?

You mean the walnut? I don't know, dosen't matter...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

We have a couple thousand board feet of 1"-1.5" in our wood shop!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

I can get that little amount needed donated to the cause.

Solid walnut? Pics are going to be needed afterwards //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

As for deflex pads, you'd probably want to be lining the compression chamber and horn flare with felt or something anyway...

If I have the time to do it right, solid walnut is a must, that stuff is BEAUTIFUL! So the part right behind the driver, and where it flares out to the room? How far back to I felt in the flare?

Thanks
