The caulk doesn't really matter except silicone is one of the hardest to get to bond properly. This is called Alex Plus. It's super cheap and runs an easy bead. Easy clean up also. I believe it's an acrylic latex. I'll go check.
EDIT: Yes and throw in some silicone for good measure.

omg! only 2 stars! you're gonna hear that.. you should have gone with the gold plated audiophile grade caulk
So, I'm waiting for the glue to dry a bit. This time instead of using strips of paper, I laid the glue on the foam edges and flipped it over onto full sheets that I will trim later. Left it for 15 minutes while I did the other and weighted it all down. I am hoping to glue the backs on soon.

hehe.
It's perfect for this job. Flows nicely, tools easily and cleans up easily...
...wait do you hear an echo?
Thanks X. Remember, you're the reason I can do this.
Sure-Ply at my Home Depot has changed since set 1. What you see is without finish. Here they are under natural light rather than flash. The rflection on the cone is from the halogen light on the side.

OK, got some time after tennis to do these babies. They sound fine, I'll want to play around with the stuffing a bit but not too far off first go.
Yes, they sound BIG.
You're fast. They look nice how is the sound compared to the ff125wk cornus? Would they be good for livingroom use?
They sound that much bigger than the 27". They fill my livingroom nicely.
Highs are a little nicer too. Bass is fairly controlled but still staggering in amount. Sounds like a couple 12" woofers from the 70's.
Do I hear giggling from north of the 49th parallel again?

It seems I had been thinking about this for over a year.
I am thinking of going up to a 5.25" driver. The ever popular RS-1354. Already with planet10 treatment(s).

xrk, could you model the visaton BG20, or does the size of the cutout prevent it from working with your model? Wondering if it would be possible to get a f3 in the 20's
It can work if you scale the plan to 48 inches x 48 inches x 6 inches deep. It is HUGE. The f3 is about 35 Hz (average SPL is 93 dB at 2.83 V at 1m). Nice looking response though and 35 Hz is plenty deep IMO.
