Looking great, dude! You'll be thumping through that thing in no time. Love the tweeters. Are you going with casters or rubber feet? I've got rubber feet on this one. I have been assuming all along that I'll most likely be building a second one for a 2x15 stack and I'll put casters on the bottom on...

As I was running a 30hz test tone through it I noticed the wires going to the piezo array were slapping the cab and making a heck of a racket. I have them stapled down at the array and back in the cab near the crossover but in-between those two points it's slappin. Anyone have suggestions on a way t...

I put it snug against where the flange and walls meet before I saw this. But it clears the screws and gives a good seal there too.

Thank you! I assumed that was the case...I don't know why I was second guessing myself.

Leland included gasket tape for sealing the back panel. Should it go here?
Or here?

I'm using a dual speakon + dual 1/4" jackplate just for maximum flexibility. What gauge wire should I use to make all the parallel connections between the four inputs? Is 18awg heavy enough? Could I get away with 22awg for the parallel connections and the heavier gauge Leland supplied connecti...

Is there a reason for that, Bill?

...I haven't decided where I want to mount the crossover so that bottom piece of foam isn't attached yet. Where do most people attach it? Inside the cab on the bottom? Or attached to the back panel? You can put it anywhere it fits, but take a look at the Sketchup file if you want a little inspirati...

Had a bunch of 22 gauge wire on hand from tinkering around with guitar pedals so I used that for the piezo array.

Those are the ones I used. It was definitely too rough for my liking...felt a bit like sandpaper. I'm really happy with this faux leather look. Yep, if you don't go back over it - dry-rolling it very lightly with just the weight of the roller - it will definitely feel like sandpaper. Your finish lo...

Got the foam glued and stapled. I haven't decided where I want to mount the crossover so that bottom piece of foam isn't attached yet.

Gave it one Duratex coat with the foam texture roller, let it dry a couple hours, then gave it a second coat and blotted it with a plastic bag to give it a bit of a faux leather type texture. I wasn't super excited by the roller texture. Attached the corners and handles this morning. Next up is foa...
