I have an idea to make a new project to in the base there should be two 10" loudspeakers - just an idea. They look like animals, maybe dinosaurs, but important are 20Hz. 2.jpg 20.jpg

I continue with the collection of the cabinet;

Now I can make the exact measurement of the volume. And that's 31.5l, just as much as I need!
Oh, l forget to show you what I did to get that volume!
I maked a filter compartment (for the MW and TW), the W section will be in the box;

I previously make the last layer-10 mm MDF / to get a sandwich construction / on the front panel and the bottom;

Last constructive action ;
After 10 hours I will install the last layers of 2 x 4 mm bent MDF;

Nothing are finished. Side panels i prepared for veneering, and the bottom is painted with acrylic paint, it helps me not to miss something in the processing.
The finishing works will begin after the measurements.

Thanks!
In the middle of September I will make the measurements and corrections of the filters.
Measurements will be done in an acoustically-processed laboratory, not in my home.

Thank you for the good evaluation of my work!
What can I say?
If I were in the right place, we could get a lot of good contacts.

Those stands are super sturdy. I am wondering like Todd... how do they sound to you, @Jororaitchev?
