Conclusion:
Very fun project. I designed all aspects of the speakers and had a local woodworking shop put everything together for me. I would of done everything but arthritis prevents me from doing much detailed work anymore. The bass is very tight and deep. Mids are crazy good and the highs are very very pleasant. Could not have turned out better.

I love this design. Would I be able to see what the interior looks like and where did you get the horn?
Hi Timothy, Thanks for the comment. E-mail and I can try to give you interior pics. The horns were old style gramaphone horns for antique phonographs. I found them on ebay fron India. Timmbear@yahoo.com
Hi, I’d be interested to see some pics as well if that’s ok ? Did you do the design or did you find it somewhere ?
Brice, Thanks for the comment. Yes, I designed everything. Plans started on the back of an envelop. Email timmbear@yahoo.com and I’ll try to get some more pictures to you. They just sound better the longer they play…fun project!
