[QUOTE="AV Tek, post: 8261954, member: 661037"] My cabinet builder absolutely would not know anything in regards to the physics of tuning. However, what he did was build the most structurally sound enclosure I have ever seen or heard. To the point that when I had a drink in the cup holder, it was barely effected despite a subwoofer being right underneath it. A structurally sound enclosure is half the battle, the tuning is the other half. I have no problem using my prior experience along with calculations, and even software to assist me in achieving the best natural sound. Sometimes the theoretical result doesn't match the real world result, but in this particular case it certainly did. At the same time, I think some audiophiles get so wrapped up in creating the most perfect steril tone, that they completely lose sight of the big picture, which is to enjoy whatever audio you listen to. They constantly pick their system apart, and eventually forget about their aural escape from reality. Back on topic... I have no doubts that Dustin can probably create some fantastic enclosures from what I've read from people that actually recieved them. What seems to be the problem is his time and business management skills. An incredible enclosure isn't worth a **** if it's never built and delivered. It's also not worth a **** if I can have 4 enclosures built in the time it takes him to respond to a single PM, email, phone call, forum post, message pigeon, flare gun, and any other method his customers have used to try to get a hold of him. If you're going to run a business, then run a business efficiently. If that means hiring more QUALIFIED personnel to keep up with demand, then that's the cost of doing business. Otherwise, bow out, and only do business selectively, and let your customers know that they're in for a hell of a wait time. In this technological and social media day and age, it takes forever to build a good reputation, and mere minutes to earn a bad one. Whatever is going on with this guy, I hope he clears it up, and gets back to being a business owner that a customer can count on. I'll definitely have do some digging for those pictures. Sadly...
