Madisound BK-16 Fostex fe166 kit.

Getting back to speakers. This is going to be a test mule for exploring backloaded horns and the EC Leviathan or 2A3.

My jaw dropped when I saw those cuts and routing.  And then I panned over and saw the Fostex box.   ;D  Is that from Madisound?  Looks like fun!

The kit is cheep in terms of money. You can slap it together quickly, or take your time. I'm taking my time on this one.

Progress. Can never have enough clamps. BTW, all these are indoor low light shots with the Fuji.

Plywood instead of MDF for cost reduction?

It's birch, costs a bit more than MDF.

Since it's a kit, it makes sense. I use to hate wood chips and having to extensively predrill over and over back in my speaker building days and I had to cut it myself.

Do you put any fasteners in there or just glue the sh_t out of it?

So much for taking you time with this one  ;)
