Think I'll order some Sonic Barrier. Just need to measure how much I need. Any advice on thickness? The 1" and 1/2" are single layer, the 3/4" is 3 layer. Not sure which to get.

Looking forward to the completed build! I love the overnight sensations MT that OJ built for me.

Finished the crossovers and got them mounted. Ordered the Sound Barrier stuff, and glued a couple more panels on.

The speakers on the storage shelf. I've gone as far as I want before wiring the drivers up and playing some music. If I add any more panels it will be difficult to fix any problems. Will add terminals after veneer goes on the back, just under the port. Front panel will be last on and then veneered.

So I tested my crossovers late last week and they didn't work so I got some help from OJ and Marv. Spent tonight completely remaking them with a better design thanks to OJ. They work perfectly now.

cool, keep us up to date. If I was to build a speaker I'd probably go with diysoundgroup kit and flat pack too so this is extremely interesting to me

Nearing the end of construction. Planed the slight panel overlaps and installed all remaining sound barrier. Ready to veneer the back panel so I can install the binding posts and port. Then I can glue the front panel on and veneer the rest.

So, on to the port. The port sent with the kit is an adjustable one and is far longer than the specs call for. Below is a picture with the adjustable part separated. The red lines are the thickness of the cabinet and the further marking is the 3.5 inches the specs say the port should be. Should I use just the inner section and trim it, or should I slide the other part on and trim it and glue?

Decided to go with mahogany veneer. Picked up a roll at Woodcraft and will have 3 more coming. One roll will at least let me progress to where I can finish the back of one, including the terminals so I can finish assembly.

Got the back veneer on one of the speakers and cut the port hole and drilled holes for the screws for the port and the holes for the binding posts. Looks great already. Sorry, forgot to take a picture. Took a piece of the veneer home to test some danish oils now that I have real material.

Having a good time working on this project.

Anyone able to answer my port question above?
