static those are awesome old school stylee builds,made to perfection very impressed,and you only started last monday if i rerember correctly thats just shows how quick these can be made once you have made a few previously well done and thanks for posting your project pictures for all off us to see and admire...static will you be painting yours or spraying them ?

Static Age wrote: thanks for the positive comments.   to get them to the stage they are in the pic above took about 16 hours, next step is to cut holes for handles & build the scoop bit. i have made a template for the curved formers so it shoudlnt take long.   I'm painting them with black aldcrofts, i dont have the facility to spray the aldcrofts on.   more pics to come as the build comes to a finish.

Its a shame they dont make them the old school way any more..16 hours is a decent time considering you only put in a couple hours a day well done static...i.ll be looking forward for the finished pictures keep the good work up  regards bill

But I hear supers are a lot more work than Fane or JBL, and not that much difference in sound, just sturdier and heavier due to bracing.

Static those look like JBL's but maybe bit wider etc (Bit like my mods), Which drivers have you heard in those, and what do they sound like?

My mods should result in lower extension, at slight expense of throw.

How much would would you charge me matey, to do a rough prototype in chipboard?
