Beautiful. I really need to look into this shellac business. Are those sony buyout woofers still available?

Way Home


Final product






They sound super. I cant believe how good they sound. No bass but very pleasant to the ears. Honestly when I put some music I think my Dali speakers
where on, but they fill the room completely nice and clear. They are the reason
mzisserson won 3 place, now I know. Ahh my wife said I can buy some tools:D
She cant believe how they become so good sounding.
Thanks everyone in this forum.

Great job -- you have nothing to hang your head about. Despite your little mistakes along the way, the final outcome is beautiful!!

Yeah the Sony's are NLA but I see them from time to time in the free classifieds. I still have a bunch of these. Your build makes me want to hit the garage and bang out a set of Lil' Brits myself ......Too bad its only 17 degrees right now!! :eek:

Yep -- definitely nothing for you to be ashamed of. Esp. if this was your first time using power tools. Extra kudos to you for making the Mrs. happy and getting the green light to buy tools :D

I'd say you are well on your way to addiction :p

Wicked awesome first build, they look amazing. Makes my first ever build look like baby food...
