hi folks,
well sand and kitty litter are fine ideas. I was to excited to
glue up the side pieces and used what I had. some building
insulation. packed in tight. figure it will stop and resonation and
keep the speaker lighter.
with both speakers up and running, the sounds great. nice sounds,
maybe a little bloomy in the bass...pushing the drivers to hard maybe.
this was with a chipamp ( assembled from chinese pcb).
with my 6em7 amp, more even sound. then I find the tube amp sounds better than chip for me.
now I have to finish them, thinking of using some colored wood stained.
minwax has a nice selection, something greenish I think.
next up is a simple SE build and something for the pinoneer bf20 fr driver.
( 2.5 cubic sealed box, half chang or the tl by nelon pass fof the bf20...
hmm... ) I have the liittle dayton tweeter too.
could not do any of this with the forums....thanks all and my your hloiday project go well .....

I used birdy sand for mine. Really high density, dry, no smell and pretty cheap. What you have left over you might use to fill little sandbags to experiment with CC volume.
thought I'd share a pic of the finished speakers.
used blue wood stain, but it was almost like paint...hmm.
two coat of clear poly something ( oil based).
speakers sound just great - I have nice bass from the little drivers.
imagining is great. much fuller sound and the little boxes I had.
thanks again for all the help and fun on the forums,
Jeff
happy new year folks!

Good work. Are the drivers mounted on the right height? They seem to be mounted a bit low to me. I can be mistaken since I've used the 108EZ with a larger outer diameter.

thanks!
not sure about the height. the bottom of the speaker magnet is about 1/4" above the divider for the baffle heading to the back. I had to fudge some sizing inside because I used 3/4" stock inside and the plan called for 12mm or something. I am hoping speakers have some plus/minus room in the absolute measurements. regardless I like them and they have a nice solid bass, considering the speaker size. my wood working skills need to catch up to my electronics skills.

Hey, those look really nice. I love the imaging from a small driver and narrow baffle. It's addicting.
