Volume calculations of the bass cabinet must be tricky.
Curved laminations very time consuming (expensive!) to build.
rounded shape might be acoustically better than a Box.
Your re-styling of another product? what differences other than cosmetic?

It looks like a weapon built by Daleks crossed with an arcade machine. Some people will love it, Some might not. Maybe more timbers to "furniturise" it a little bit or go all out and replace the timber back with lots of little hemispheres then couple it with some of Josh Stippich's (spelling?) very cool amplifiers.

hi Mike

u are right, it will take moreless one month to make the cabinets.
it will be less expensive than if i would let it make in the u.s. ore europe. craftmanship is not so prohibitively expensive here aroung...
Horns, i am using Orpheans of BD-design, modified bms4592nd coaxial neodymium compressiondriver from 220hz to 22khz, and bass i will use a beyma 15" lx60, tuned to 40hz. it's a own design, and own speaker combination. The main difference to other similar speakers around is the enclosure design.
