Time to build eight speakers! Let the assembly line begin. The first step was cutting the 3/4" mdf to the correct dimensions to match the volume specs of the driver.
The finished (although not sanded and varnished) version 2.0 prototype
Prototype of version 2.0 using a new driver, better components, and an enclosed cabinet
Another look at version 1.0
Version 1.0 of the speaker that was quickly made for some concerts in the spring of 2014. The driver was cheaper and the cabinet was not enclosed. Worked OK but did not sound great.
