There's a real sweetner though that alone makes the asking price reasonable - a little trigger on the handle that activates an electromagnet and releases the guard. That of course means that you don't have to stretch your thumb to manually operate the guard - idle bliss. Sounds simple enough but I've actually gone to use other mitres and couldn't figure out why the guard wouldn't open - I've got that used to it.

If I bring a woman back home on a Friday night, its normally the first thing I show them.

Soon you'll be able to show them the subwoofer..

..pointing at the cone and saying: "see, its ribbed for your pleasure."

We are, but with a fully developed sense of humor.

My guide for the router slipped a bit whilst doing the center line. Ended up having to fill it all and start again. Hopefully it looks OK once sprayed, looks poor at the minute though.



I'm beginning to regret going with 45mm walls all round and the somewhat 'carpet bombing' attitude to bracing. The cabinet sure feels very dead and solid but it weighs a ton. I can *just* manage to carry this section alone, its more the size that awkward than the weight. I've carried subs around weighing 40kg and this feels about the same weight. Add the top section, drivers and the base and I'm guessing it will be about 70kg. Not sure if my back will take that and god knows how I'll shift it around without touching it too heavily after spraying.

This is one of those times when you just need others and hope it doesn't go wrong. The last thing you'll want for the rest of your life is a slipped disc.

Dead cabinets are heavy, a by-product of a good desgn

One tip: Install wheels.

I found some sweet low profile casters for my project. The speaker
box will be raised 1" from the ground but can be rolled around.

Not far off finished now:




The top section was out of shape compared to the bottom, I suspect its because I was little off on the angles for the center section, not by much but it makes a difference when you have so many angled cuts all relying on each other to be spot on. Ideally a CNC cutter would really be neccessary for this type of work. I got creative and just planed the surfaces back into true with the bottom section and then sanded smooth:




At this point its definitely too heavy for one person to lift safely, I ended up calling internation rescue and they saw me right, cheers go to Virgil in Thunderbird 2 for that

Those are definitely an awesome site. Is that the finished shape?
