I think that stands for Pacific Northwest

I always use Baltic Birch. Most definitely the material to use. I know I didn't have to on Titan's, but the cost difference isn't that significant.

Kappalite I might use next time. No reason, just picking what I thought was a high quality driver for the enclosure.

While I was waiting for the miter fold glue to cure up, I decided to tackle the handles on the top, bottom, and back. 16 handholds total to cut. I made a jig. After the handholds, one of the most important steps IMO is recessing that speakon connector. Hopefully the pictures will explain it. The spe...

I almost always will miter fold pieces like this. I'm assuming some of you good builders here will do the same. I make sure that angle is spot on. Otherwise, it's junk

I reverse my 5 and 7 panels from the pdf file. I like to get that front access panel just right. I have Rhino3d CAD and re-did all of the measurements to get accurate measurement of that front panel. I seem to have it dialed in, this is the third one I have done like this and it seems to have worked...

Baffle chamber is assembled, and I'm now on to the bracing. I'll reiterate, I think the most important pieces on these builds are the solid connections of the braces to the body. I’m focusing on a thin, even bead and a strong, consistent clamp to activate the polyurethane and fill any micro-gaps.

Thank you Radian! Yeah, so these are being made for someone and I quite honestly can't do them much less than a LAB12. I mean, come on... I do have to stop here and say I appreciate the drawing guide that Bill has with the designs. They are spot on. I use a CAD program to get me numbers that I like ...

My journey with Bill's plans began with the T39, which was the very first build I ever attempted. After that, I decided to take on another project, and these two cabinets represent my second and third builds. It's been a great learning experience, as they turned out significantly better than my firs...

Don't use solid wood. Use Baltic Birch

That last picture is actually the final shot I grabbed before shipping it off to my customer. I got caught up rushing at the end and didn’t take nearly as many photos as I wanted. No interior shots of the high-frequency drivers—I just assembled them. They’ve got two solid Eminence compression driver...

For my crossover, I put everything on one board just to make it simple for me. I know that might not be the best method having all those parts close together, but I've never had problems with my crossovers. PXL_20250703_132644816.jpg This was to screw the board down when I placed it inside the cabin...

I didn't get many pictures from this point on. I was rushing to the end, but I did still manage to get some final shots. For the throat pieces, I was able to do everything right on my miter saw. Made quick work of things PXL_20250701_185330190.jpg PXL_20250701_192739688.jpg PXL_20250701_202450750.jp...

Back was prepped with hand holds and speakon holes, installed, trimmed, glued and screwed on the back panel. One thing I regret was not taking the time to figure out how to recess those speakons quickly and easily. After I mucked it up, I found out how to do it . Oh well, there's always next time. P...

Finally got everything on the inside pre-painted and the sides are on. You can see that I went with the option to use the cutouts from the top and bottom "boob" half round pieces for a lack of better term. I was honestly quite surprised as to how well they came out. I fully expected a larg...

LaVoce WSF081.82 for the 8" and Eminence ASD1001B compression drivers. I think they'll be a good fit

Right now I have a t39 and t30 in my shop. Not what I was going to use, more like a 20" wide Tuba 24 with 10" drivers
