Going to be spending some filling and sanding the baffle to get it ready for painting. I had to put things together for a quick photo and an idea of how things are going to look upright. Sure feels good to see after all the work. I think amazon lost my bolts so I'll have to order from somewhere else, bleh.

Baffle finish came out really good. Pretty much what I was after. Just a big can of rustoleum protective enamel.

Thank you DJG, I was really surprised with the finish and very happy. I've had many suggest I open up my shop, and I do have a custom order to make, some folded horn pa subs. I figure it's worth a shot since I'm in a good place to do it and I quit every other dumb job I've had in 6 months anyway, cannot stand working for other people. I expect theendeavor to fail but life is too short to not try.

I'm aware the room is a mess, doubles as a work shop for now. Hoping to go pick up the woofers this weekend. Gotta order more bolts.
Ain't that a pretty box?

Nicely done. They look great. Definitely nailed the ATC SCM looks with the finish!

Got one passive xover wired, need to do the next tomorrow. Got the woofers.
Rough measurement of me holding up a mic in front of me in a small room, take it for what it is, does look good though.

Looks great, the baffle paint job is so prominent. Are you going to do any other finish on the cabs?Comment

I'd like to veneer them in birch then give that an oil finish. My go to has honestly been danish oil followed by amber/clear shellac, just kinda like how it makes things look, easy to repair, and I can have it in the house the same day as the application. I can't stand poly dry/cure times. Never tried lacquer.Comment

So I'd definitely ignore the above data, woofer was miswired.
Got them into the living room where they'll sit for a long time. Gotta say wow Paul, these are something special. I'll reserve final judgement until I get them back outside and make sure everything is measuring right and the xover is built on something other than cardboard, but these are just plain impressive, the resolution from the dc130 is really surprising. Put a shelf on the HF of just -2db starting at 6k and a little roll off at the very top end as the tweeter felt a bit harsh otherwise. I think the dynamics are the biggest step up from everything else I've had, something about a speaker that can handle anything at just about any volume is something I didn't know I was missing. IMO if you have the space and can move them, they're one of the best values in DIY at this time. I think this is my fourth design from Paul and def my favorite.
Think I'll put the amigas on as rears and cnote for center tonight and watch a movie.
