I always love looking at other folks work, nicking idea's, marveling at the finish, driver choices and a whole load of other things that make most of us on here tick as far as the hobby goes.
But probably the most interesting and best remembered for most is the very first project. I remember mine well and was wondering if others would like to share also. Thoughts, pics, actually anything you care to say. I'd really like to hear from some of the veterans on here like Cal, Planet, KWY since I bet the first was before I was born - I'm 26, born in '79. Would be interesting to see how the choices have evolved along with the tech.
Eitherway please, please share you first time with us all - loudspeakers only though, I think everyone builds around 5 subs they attempt a loudspeaker - I did.
Ok I'll kick off:
First was last year and was a take on the Visaton Topas kit with some styling changes.

Matching sub using a Visaton 12" driver, the model number escapes me.

Drivers were Visaton Ti 100 4" mid/bass and MHT12 Ribbon Tweeter.
I really liked these speakers, laid back and easy going but detailed and dynamic at low volumes. Bass was good from a 4" driver thanks to the transmission line loading.
Ultimately I got the itch and sold them on to move on to other things. Still wish I hadn't since I think you should always keep your first ones to look back at either how well you did or how much further you've moved on depending on the way you look at it.
