These are the guys I told you about, 1 1/4" MDF in 4' x 16' panels (not your normal Lowes item).

I meant to say that the carpentry on both your cabs was beautiful. Looove that 1.5" round router bit you used on the edges - makes it look so much more.....substantial.
...and yes, I too as a 16yr Californian thought we were having a wee tremor. You should download some of the seismic data from USGS (like for the '89 loma preita) and play that back as a wave file (I tried using earthquake data as kick drum samples a while back with rather too good an effect) Then again, maybe you shouldn't

Or this one: http://wavebourn.com/rain_helicopter.mp3 -- I use it to test myPA gear so neighbours won't complain about music playing...

Indeed not. I dread to think of the shipping costs, however, especially since their 4' x 8' 3/4" MDF seems about 25% heavier than anyone else's. In other news, Ray and I went to the Maker Faire (recommended for DIYers, it'll blow your mind), where we saw this:

And these guys have one:

Tweeter waveguides, anyone?

The router bit was actually left over from the 3-ways to sort out the edges so I could avoid diffraction effects. That's rather not a problem when the wavelength is measured in meters instead of centimeters, but it keeps the edges from looking too shabby with use, as unhardened MDF tends to do.
Besides, (don't tell anyone) a big roundover covers any number of sins in assembly.

Ah, thank you. The lowest frequency there seems to be about 25 Hz, so the taller boxes should deal with it handily. WinISD says they should roll off about a half-octave higher than the whale woofers, or about 22 Hz.
Oh yeah,
I ran into Ray Kimber at the Rocky Mountain , and he gave me a bunch of his CD's to pass out at the BAF. They are recorded with his isoMike approach and the quality was very impressive!
We got into a conversation when I mentioned that Nelson Pass must like them because they had about 8 Pass amps in their (large) room . He said "And we like Nelson" then gave me the dozen disks for our show!

Did anyone ever locate the plans for these cute and great sounding pine box towers? ... http://wavebourn.com/BAF/baf10.gif ???
My nephew, a good carpenter and musician, needs 'em. I'm sending him the proper drivers and need to send him the plans too.

Try the BIB thread. Or just use the BIB calculator off of Godzilla's BIB pages. Do use a PP amp with fairly low output impedance, these drivers don't like SE amps of any flavour.
And keep in mind that they are ideally corner loaded.
For a BIB this short it is well worth building an inverted version since you can get floor loading where you can't get ceiling loading.
