Default Tang Band W6-1611 in BIBs

Hi. Ive had my W5-1611s for some time now, breakin them in in cardboard boxes. This weekend I got to some work done in the hobby shop we have in my apartment building. Baffle + back is cut to size, holes routed and today I hope to find some time to work on the sides panels and internal baffle

Im between jobs at the moment so budget only permits me to make do with scrap wood. The baffle and back will be in 19mm hardwood and the sides in 16mm low density MDF. For the internal baffle Im gonna use 30mm medium grade foam. The idea is that it will dampen some of the upper bass

Heres some pix of the project:
- Cardboard box break in
- Dry runs for the routing

After a few failed attempts at glueing and clamping I decided to build a jig for the internal baffle. Worked like a charm

Holy mother of pearl. These things are as resonant as hollering banshees in heat. Wrapping my knuckles on the sides is... interesting... The upper open part is particularly prone to sing the one note song. Im gonna have to try some serious bracing
