Interesting, but a bit rough for the furniture surfaces...  |

Uh - one problem (actually, probably a lot of problems). There's a port above the tweeter... which is for the woofer... which is sealed in a separate chamber?

There isn't really much on the parts or the design of the speaker other than what the animated picture shows. I am curious about the design and what parts were chosen. |

A carbide-grit hole saw will take care of that center divider.

I thought the same but noticed the back panel is dished out to allow air passage from one cavity to the next. |

I've built a few sonotube telescopes. It works really good. Put it on a Dobsonian mount and you've got a working telescope. Most of them are reflector (mirror) type but can be used to built a refractor scope as well. Sonotube can be used for lots of stuff - not just concrete footings. I bought all the innards to make a sono sub years ago but never bought the tube. Maybe I should get some concrete blocks and some sonotube and see how it sounds. |

Wow, now I want to build one. Holy Cow! There was a speaker manufacturer that did that for bit. Hales Speaker group using Fibercrete. Nuts this. Shipping was the Moon! I never got to hear one, and was curious. Would be fun to build this.

I'm sure some of our savvy DIY'ers here could put together some driver and crossover suggestions. |

But then realized that if you ONLY had to buy the block and got the baffles and drivers as a kit... |

That is why I am so interested. I have that short timer's I wanna hear it now, and don't wanna wait. Wow, patience has been turned off. LOL. |
