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...

tooo late to tell you not to sand to much on the plywood, you burnt through //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

holy mother of jesus, if God himself could make a driver, it'd be this. i finished them up today (rushed the last panels cause they were looking shitty anyway, but they look aight with the danish on 'em) and my neighbor (one with the avalance) came over to listen to them and i had sheets on the new TB towers and my dad's some odd polks that he got for demo (like 2k each....). so i throw on some michael brecker, and they disappear into nothing. the sweetness of the sax with the keyboard = heaven. you can feel the bassist's fingers sliding down the strings as though you were doing it yourself. the keyboard is just in front of you and you don't even realize it is coming from a three inch cone. so i'm auditioning them to him and he picked the better speaker to be the TBs every time, 10 different tracks (ray charles, diana krall, brecker, herbie hancock, gary burton, chick corea, ellis marsalis, miles davis, terence blanchard and joshua redman). easily the best speaker that I have built, let alone heard. the 4k polks don't even compare to this little cone. the timbre is off the charts, tonality is soaring that the detail is magnificent. TB: keep making excellent drivers. so now that i'm finsihed (pics in t minus one hour), i'd like to thank john krutke for the design, vikash for being alive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif, balls to the wall, thylantyr and some of them other guys that actually know some shit and don't go spewing off at the mouth like me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Not that store bought speakers are bad, they just don't give you the bang for buck that

DIY gives you. DIY rules if you be patient to learn the art, collect the tools and do experiments.

Some folks complicated loudspeaker design where there is easy paths, sometimes the easy

paths may be easy but maybe not easy dollar-wise, but definately better than store bought.

No loudspeaker audition is complete until you play some 'Slayer' on it. /hehehehe
