Chris,
Could you post your replies using a larger font size, I'm afraid I can't read it through all the smoke.
Best Regards,
Terry
Just stunning, Dave (Chris!!) love the veneer matching/colour.
soundwise??- oh, Chris did you add a piece of material behind the front baffle cut-out to flush mount the driver, or use a thicker front baffle?
best,
don

The Mar-Ken12Ts are lovely... yes, and like Doorman, I'd like to know how they are soundwise.
Here's the Mar-Ken 7.3 I finished recently.
Very impressed with the sound. These are for a friend - I'm gonna miss these when he eventually takes them home.

Thanks Don, sometimes the color and grain figuring just works with you, other times it's a struggle to finish the pattern for even a smaller enclosure than these with a single sheet.
Yes, an additional 9mm BB plate (for total of 27mm) on the rear side of front baffle to allow sufficient core for fasteners.

nice work -
Chrisb,
Thank you for the kind words and specially for all the advice on building and finishing - it's helped me achieve "zero to hero" over the past few months.

The boilerplate is here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/plan...10-hifi-minionken-plan-set-subscriptions.html
I am working thru the entire planset to do trapezoids for all (including the new FFxx5wk) -- there will be multiple variations for some of the smaller drivers. There will also be a family of WoofTs to go alomg with them all. This to emphasis our feeling that to get the best out of a FR, and to make it truly full-range, adding helper woofers makes the most sense.

Miter tops and bottoms, very nice work. I do have a pair, not as finished as these, but they sound great.
Starting up a new build soon, materials on hand.

Sneak Preview
Hey All,
I’ve been working 3 pairs, one new pair is completed but unfinished (pic 2).
I don’t know if cutting dadoes in the top, bottom and back panels is
conventional wisdom, but I think it helps with the assembly.
Should have the tall pair finished soon.
They are fun to build and sound great!!

A new member of the family realized... the uMar-Ken6.2. This works with either A6.2p or A6.2m with no changes. These have the 6.2p.
These are the surrounds for a friends 5.1 system. The front row are the same, rotated sideways in a bar that fits under the TV.
They are pretty small. Even in reference to the mMar-Ken6.2 and the Frugel-Horns the pictures don't give the scale.
