JFunk, now that's funkaaay!
How do you like the sound?
I'm really impressed with them - at the moment I have some cheap but good specked chiniese drivers in them running of a modified Tripath amp and they sound very good - I think the only thing holding them back is the lack of a suitable corner to put them in in my work shop but when I finally finish them and get them home the real testing will begin. I have some fostex drivers on the way to try out in them and then hopefully I can build and spray up a few more pairs
I've seen those chinese drivers on ebay.....was wondering about them....they certainly look nice.

They seem really good. In some big corner horns I managed to get them rumbling the room down to 20hz which was a surprise from some 4" drivers they do seem to lack a bit of sparkle at the high end but for £40 a pair they are awesome. Hopefully when the fostex fe126 arrive I can have a compare a vs b as I don't have anything similar as a refference
I have finally managed to get my hands on some Fostex FE126En to have a bit of a compare and contrast with the HiEnd 4" Chinese drivers I have been playing with.
The FE126En have more detailed mids but seem to lack a lot of the bass that the Chinese ones have.
The Chinese drivers on ebay would definitely be worth a try for anyone who listens to reggae, dub or a bit of jazz bass. I have been using them at home for home cinema and they thud and rumble with the best of them but they do lack a bit of detail below 80hz.
Admittedly I have only given the FE126 a 10hr burn in so far and they are not in a decent corner so I will reserve judgement until I can get them home

I wish it was inlay. I had big plans to do some more involved marketry, but the stripes, which *do* look like inlay in person, were created by applying automotive pin stripe tape before staining, then removing the tape after staining. Then 2 coats of clear poly to finish it off.
I was pleased with the color match of the stain with the driver color.

I think I got lucky with my pinstripe tape....whopping $1.79 at my local Advance Auto. I was very careful to lightly sand the part, then use a fresh tack cloth to prepare the surface. Then, once I located the stripe, I used a fair amount of pressure on the edges of the tape. I was prepared to use a heat gun if residue was a problem, but it wasn't necessary!
