I'll take a pair please!

Thanks both! I'll take you up on that ftrtom, will send a pm ...

Due to continued shuffling around of the listening room I'm considering using a separate box, or at least a fancy extension lead to manage the cabling. Ideally I'd like a half decent looking solution, similar to the audiolab 6 output offering but not at that price. I'm well into the 'no idea...

Looks good so far. Certainly seems to be a box anyway :) Which veneer samples are you trying? I've tried a few of the stick on veneers from wood veneer hub; I wouldn't hesitate to recommend those if you want an easy way of doing it. I've also used the iron on method with PVA, as well as...

Due to a re-jig I'm in need of some longer runs of speaker cable. Minimum length would be around 8m per side. Budget about £100

Bookmarked :) There's something genuinely exciting about those very first stages of a build! My fiance would disagree mind.

One crossover box glued up. I used some black resin for this as there was some spare from crack filling and it should blend in well with the enclosure.

Interesting... I do have access to a cricut machine. Not that I've ever used it!

Any suggestions on how to notate the connections in some fashion? I have zero engraving skills or access to fancy machinery. I don't really want to use ugly stickers if I can help it. I'll probably just want IN / OUT / LEFT / RIGHT or similar on the rear of the crossovers, and maybe something...

Procrastination is second only to faffing in my list of DIY skills pmm. You'll be glad to know that I made some progress today... Nothing to do with speaker cabinets however! The hard part of one upper shelf for the rack more or less done - epoxied, flattened and rough sanded... Just three...

As I'm also in need of a rack to house some gear on, I've decided to use the oak for the shelves. Similar to ladder shelves but smaller and chunkier. Roughly cut to size so far: For the upper baffle I've decided on a slightly different approach. I'm going to use some old worktop I've...

I'll take it :)

My understanding is the same - the consensus generally seems to be it's a bad idea. For what it's worth I wouldn't be constructing a box in the traditional sense... If I do go ahead with timber for the front section I would essentially be sticking together a very thick front baffle, made of 3...

Hi James, I have a similar conversation with my children frequently. Usually along the lines of NOT eating ice-cream before going out for dinner, which they then do anyway. I'm still thinking it. In the meantime here's some test fitting of the crossover boxes https://ibb.co/dtXBgS4][/url]...

Hello, Would you be interested in having a look at an old Yamaha A100, Reddish? Sounded fab until today but one channel has gone intermittent and could probable do with a general look-over / service. Fraser
