Nice job!! Especially like the "Powerslave" CD on the desk...Up the Irons! I dunno, seeing the plys from the endgrain kinda gives it a neet-o look...

Re: 1st attempt at speaker building

After much thought I decided on a pair of Tritrix sealed boxes for my first diy project. Used 3/4 birch plywood for the enclosure and 3/4 poplar for front and rear baffle.

Great looking speaker. Solid building. Eh, live and learn on the finish. I like it though. Really impressed with how good the crossover looks. My first one looked like something only a mother could love. Good job. You have the speaker building bug now. Enjoy. Robert.

Re: 1st attempt at speaker building

Thanks for all the kind words. I built these at home, my current wood working tools are a garage sale Delta table saw, saws-all, automotive DA sander and a new craftsman router I got just for this. Power is a pair Dynakit 40 watt mono blocks, that are 15 years older than I. I did give them a service before pressing back into duty. Tube amps are a beautifull thing.
I am very pleased with the sound quality of the tritrix. seems like I am listening to all my cds for the first time. My next build will be a floor standing speaker. and yes I am a Maiden fan
