Dude, those are so helpful! 

Are those faitalpro horns for the CD? I think I got the same ones, how are you liking them? 

Any tips on how to measure the cutout for them?

Also, did you calculate the dimensions of the peices for the wood horns? It seems like I have to figure them out myself based on what’s in the drawing, which is tricky.

the horns are eighteensound xt1464. yeah cutting the vertical horn flare pieces is an absolute headmelter. i had read people on here saying it was difficult, starting off i couldn't see what would be so difficult, then doing it i got to a point where my brain just froze..

from memory it's about 3.5 degrees. there's a tip for you.. if you're not there yet you'll get there...

i haven't used these speakers in years now. and i still feel like building a second pair of them.

and for the horn cutout.. i just found an eighteensound plan for a top which had the same horn and used their suggested cutout from that.

and just to disclaim it all.. that's just how i built them, not necessarily the best way. i'm sure if you dig deep into the forum (use google search for best results) you'll find other people's build photos too.

maybe a bit late but what is time....

building these MT121 122 is VERY hard and timeconsuming. there is no real plan to do it.
build them on one side laying down, build the inner parts first, i guess it diesnt matter.
this thing almost has no 90° angles, which makes it so damn hard to do. i remember it took me months to a year to build 4 of them. i just cut to fit. and when i cut off too much, i corrected it with some glued in layers of cardbord. these things are a nightmare. i recommend documenting EVERY step u do on ur first piece, so u can refer to it on the next one. u have countless steps, that will make u insane, figure something out, endure, improvise... it takes time. and be carefull with deadspaces when using t-nuts!!! i had the pleasure while installing the mid-chassis and screwing in a bolt, a t-nut got pressed out in the back right into a dead space. i had to saw a whole in the wall, pick out the t-nut and reseal it. the feeling when sitting next to your almost finished cabinet and have to saw a whole in the sidewall..... just avoid it Disapprove use some rampa inserts/threaded inserts or use woodscrews, when working with birch multiplex, u can use the same holes again and again when exchanging chassis. be focused working on the backpanel. when glueing in the rare panel stops, the parts where u put on the raearplate and tighten it with bolts, be as acurate as possible, just 1mm off in to deep or to shallow u will see at the surroundings - the rarepanel will protrude or sink in too much and u have to correct it (sand it down or router)

if i would build these again i guess id go for 2x the MT121 bcuz MT122 is REALLY heavy.
