Is that a Diesle engine cylender sleve inside that other cool piece?

Thank you for that note roger. #1 I understand and thank you for the heads up. #2 O.K.I'll check out the polypropylene capacitors. #3 Oh yeah its tight alright.Its damn difficult to get the woofer seperated from the cabinet.Good seal there.Thanks #4 I think the cabinet is pretty stiff it has cross braces in there but I will feel for bad vibes later today.Walls are not thin so that part seems alright #5 There is fiberglass batting in...

Actually, I'd thought it would have drawn more flak by now. Anyway, I don't deny the laws of physics, I just try to put them in perspective. There are many theories that can be demonstrated, but sometimes the relevance/significance...

Thanks Redboy for enlightening me (putting it here on AK) and thanks to Harry for designing it. For all those that are already modifying the design without making one, why not build one first? It does not take much. After that, add some more stuff to it and tell us if it improves, or detracts from the design. My thinking is, the more people making and playing with this design, the more info for all. From what I can tell, costs range from about...
