Here's links to my Stalkbook page showing my first attempt.
My mid tops:

and my Tham 15s.

So far it's all sounding pretty good even the Thams with the cheap P Audios in them.
Thanks for all the help and advice lads!!

Very nice build. maybe your first system, but not your first attempt at woodwork. Are you painting it?

Nothing fancy other than perhaps the joinery.
Calculated the volume of cab to suit the Emminence 15"
Built it as a trap cab because I like the look of it.
Roughly worked out the slot port dimensions with the help of some info from the web.
Mounted the Fane Soverign 10" in its own compartment again volume calculated to suit.
The Emminence 1" comp is mounted to a Faital pro horn (no other reason than I thought the Faital horn looked nicer than the others)
There's a 1K6 passive crossover with an L pad between the 10" and 1" comp.
None of this was computer modelled, I wouldn't know where to start!
I just took the best info I could find off this site and the web.
We've done a quick test with pink noise and it has a really good flat response curve which maybe accidental more than anything!

Thanks Tony
No plans to paint them, they're finished in Osmo Hard wax oil at the moment.
They won't be going out for hire or the like, just own events and parties where they'll be well minded.
They may get painted down the line.
Grills is the next job which is causing me a bit of a headache.
I want really open ones, 20mm holes or the like so you can still see the drivers.
I can get em made but they're savagely expensive!

Yeah! That fridge got a lot of attention!!
I wish that system was mine!
A lot of sound for such a small rig, beautifully clear too with tonnes of Bass!
It belongs to my Friend Derek who did the sound and light for us.
