more pics for you guys along with tips:

alright that's my smooth as glass wet sanded piece for finish comparisons. now: as you can see, i sanded too low (going from mdf to plywood, to mdf for ever back to plywood has its consequences) on the plywood. however, once the oil is applied, i'm fairly certain that it won't look AS bad. at least we can hope.... as i said i ordered the WRONG parts for the notch filter, so i re ordered them and hopefully these will be finished by the weekend (not finshed like "stain" finished, but done with construction). they are turning out fair, not excellent, but fair. there is also a downside to useing panels longer than the clams you buy...

not large at all my friend //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

4x5x48 = 960

960/1728 = .55 cubic feet before bracing and driver, which works out to a good .48 cubic feet in the end //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Wax + Steel wool + elbow grease = smooth as a baby's ***.

Works darn good on places that slide....especially small draws, slides better than any ball bearing slide.

Its good to see that you have your finish figured out!

i'm hoping to get the components soldered and everything ready for sanding by this weekend (hopefully PE doesn't screw up my order, even though it was my fault).

got the drivers in, and my fears were realized. when i cut the flush area, i realized that i had snapped my good bit, so i had to use an ebay bit. looking at the width (numerically) it seemed ok, but after i cut it i realized that it did infact look a wee bit large. so upon further measurements, i found that the "width" of ithe bit was WITHOUT accounting for the actual blades themselves (a few mm). so when i put the driver in, theres about a good mm all around it. oh well, learning experience number two: don't by cheap router blades //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

1. You have the speakers in your hand and measured them.

2. Cut the hole on a scrap piece of wood using a router to verify if your

jig is setup properly.
