So,
I'm a Dreamer, thinker and engineer. A theorycrafter if you will.
I like thinking about things, figuring them out into every detail.
Late last year I ran out of projects to fettle with and stumbled upon the Tabaq TL thread.
I read through it a few times. it was interesting how many different drivers that could be used.
it was interesting seeing the Tabaq TL design develop over time and how many people built it.
I liked how easy it was to build, and how well recieved it was and the performance/price ratio.
AFter some careful thinking I started looking at a design based on the Faital Pro 4FE32 8ohm version.
Since it was a 4" driver the design did not need the updated port.
After some fettling I realized that I could fit 4 normal Tabaq TL and one folded on a single sheet of 2440x1220x12mm

I contacted a firm which makes furniture and they would cut out my design on their CNC mill. The mill head was 4mm he informed me.
He qouted me the price of 2200SEK to do it using Birch Plywood of BB/B quality. Which he stated was the best quality available. Any subsequent run will probably be cheaper. I can hand out contact details to the company if the original designer approves of it.
Right before I left on my vacation (about a month ago), I got a call to pick up the pieces. They looked good. one or two splinters on the edges.
Me and my dad made them in his workshop. Same workshop where we made the the Frugal Horns MK3.
I've now had them for a a few weeks, trying to break them in using a Volt +D amp.
I've decided on keeping them natural with the only treatment being some sanding using rediculous grit sand paper and a layer of matte uncolored vax oil.
I am rather pleased with both the sound and the the way the look.
Finally, I'd like to thank the creator and all of the people who contributed to the design.
PS, I apologize for the cable hell around my computer. : DS
