Hi,
Well, my first shot at the BIBs... Just a test model: 125 high, Fostex 127e, Smouth as per Zilla's pages (The smaller one) I'm gonna make some new ones, in MDF, with the larger Smouth. Pity MDF comes in 122cm sheets, not 125.... But I'll find something. I'll feneer them like I did the sub in the corner (10" el cheapo LT0ed thinggy) Cheers, Bibster

Here is my most recent speaker, a fostex FE167 in an open baffle, which I currently use as center speaker in my home cinema system. It consists of 3 pieces of 15mm plywood, each 30-by-90 cm, with the wings folded back 45 degrees. The backside has a layer of cork glued to it. I was very curious to do an open baffle and actually used the plywood I had originally intended for another project that never went beyond planning. I imagine there are speakers better suited for OB than the FE167 - this was simply the result of being bored and having stuff laying around. For cable I used a variant of 4 lengths of CAT6 braided in a symmetric pattern, directly soldered to the speaker, without using posts. This speaker sounds real good, but I have no reference as it is the first time I used the FE167, so I cannot make any more substantial claims than that I am satisfied with the results. However, due to its form-factor and limited bracing, it feels rather flimsy; I expected the top section to provide more bracing than it did, so this is something I would change if I built another one, and I would also probably make this section asymmetrical to help smooth out its response.

I finally finished my FT-1600 MKIIs. Bought the plans from Bob Brines. They sound great. I still need to get the BSC on there. Partsexpress is back ordered on the inductors.
I am very please with how they turned out.
