I am almost finished with the second speaker. The second speaker was a little more difficult to finish and easier at the same time. My first version of the second speaker got messed up due to router bit mess-up, and there was no way to salvage the speaker, so I had to start another one, and since I had spent many days on just 6 layers of plywood in the intense summer heat, I just couldn't do it anymore and was ready to give up. this is when I spoke to a friend of a friend who has a $100K CNC router table who cut it all for me for a price, but it was all worth it. I finished gluing all the pieces in 4 days, vs 6 months part time!!!

then pass the speaker on the router table using the bit that you see in the pic which is a 1" radius circular bit.
And you get

You still have to do some sanding, but it gets the job done.
Basically, this is what I was trying to achieve.
Just few more weeks and I should be ready for the NoCal DIY meet.
