This is my first BF project so I was alittle sceptical. I am really impressed with the qualiy of the sound. It shames a hartke 410 cabinet. The bass is so clean and it growls like mad on the low notes. I also connected an acoustic guitar via the bass amp and it was super clean as well. With the bass guitar knobs all set center line I never got the volume over half way on the Eden WT-400. I wasn't thinking or I could have turned on the SPL meter to see. It was very load (our performance levels are normally around 100 db). I set the cabinet just outside the front door to see what db levels would be like outside and that was very good as well. I have purchased the plans and materials to build a pair of T-39 with duel 12s and a pair of onmi tops 15. I will take more time on those and rout the edges and such. I am not a wood worker but I am learning. Great hobby and based on the first cabinet its a great product.

For a guy who claims not to be a wood worker, it looks fine to me!

A dual 12" T39 will be a bit of a monster.

Looks cool! Is that the 2x12 model? I'm building 2 of those right now. Are your handles centered dimensionally, or did you find center of gravity?

You might want to consider 4x T39 single 12" instead? Dual 12"s will be a pain to get through many doorways, even worse on stairs. Single 12" seem much easier to handle. Compliments on the Omni, very nice cab indeed, well done :clap:

OK, I have been reading the t-39 plans over and over and have a question. The braces on the front have some very nice looking holes in them. These are exposed for all to see. I have a jig saw and fear these will look really bad if i cut them with that. I also don't think i saw what size the holes are but guessing they must be like 4 to 5 inches. I havn't seen any hole saw bits this size. Any ideas?
