I'm guessins there's a few $$$'s involved in this build.

They aren't free - that's true. But it's probably less than it looks like. The granite and the waterjetting was zero cost. I'll pay a little for the edges to be rounded and polished, but not a whole lot.
And the fabric was far cheaper than a decent veneer would have been... less than 90 cents/foot.

Got the rear frame finished. The camera flash washes out the color. The 2nd picture represents the color better than those with the flash.

I'm definitely digging these! How much do build another set of these cabinets lol. I'm sure way too much! But they sure are turning out gorgeous!

Haha. I think I'm gonna take a break and listen to some music when these are done. And then build a new sub. And then build a matching center. Then we can talk :W

Holy wide open aperture batman.
That curve around the port, did you sand them by hand?Comment

No - I have a friend who is a metal worker by trade. He made these for me. I wasn't able to be there when he did it, so I can't even tell you what he used to make those curves. It's a nice little touch, isn't it?

Baffles have been rounded over, but they still need the final polishing. That should happen today or tomorrow. All signs are pointing to this weekend as being a go for getting these finished.
More install shots of the frames here.Comment

Superb work going on here, I really like the rear metal work. Gives it that extra touch that you just dont see every day.

Very nice indeed! The finishing touches are extremely well done. They must sound incredible if they sound anywhere close to how they look.
What do they weigh?-RyanComment

Excellent! How much do they weigh?

I guess I'll have to get them on a scale. That is a popular question!Comment

Very impressive build! Looks very unique.Comment

What do you think it would cost for a shop to machine those baffles?Comment

I've enjoyed watching your build progress. You're quite the craftsman! Even better you are finding the sound worth the effort!

Some more pictures... Larger versions here. I haven't got them on a scale yet. My scale requires you to tap it first, then wait a few seconds, then step on. But if you don't get on it quick enough, it shuts off. Not conducive to weighing something heavy without handles...

wow... very cool idea. Are you finding it very acoustically transparent?Comment

I haven't been able to notice a difference. I will get around to measuring them at some point out of curiosity. I imagine the off-axis response would be more susceptible since the sound is traveling through more of the foam. The absence of a frame helps a lot - no hard edges.

If you click on the "testimonials" section, you can see a lot the potential for design elements.
It's a shame to cover all that granite. When the time comes I can just pull off the velcro tabs.Comment

Thinking of my next project already. Contemplating between the Full Size Statements with Center OR the Clearwave 4T SE. Both speakers are priced within a couple hundred of each other. I have read a few reviews about the Clearwave's nothing negative, nothing blowin` away either. I have heard a couple... -

Ok now most of you have seen this in another thread but I decided to make a proper thread since Clearwave is now a forum sponsor. The speakers I am building are the Dynamic 4T's which are MTMWWWW's with the TB W4-1337SA mids Vifa XT25 tweeter and RS180 woofers. More info here http://clearwaveloudsp... -
I see that Jed from Clearwave will not be offering his DIY speakers to the public soon, Do you think he will be offering the X-over designs as I plan to build the RS kit at a later date. I would like too get a hold of the X-over disigns and build it at my slow pace. -
Anybody have a 4Tse curved template? I"m horrible with sketchup, and am thinking of a winter project. Going to hcange my boxes to curved.
