That is the plan. I already have 2 of these that were built by an authorized builder, and when I bought my Baltic Birch I purchased enough to do another, will be starting on it as soon as the next stretch of days off comes my way :) - Had a pretty good learning curve on the first one, so the second one should turn out a bit better with fewer silly mistakes along the way.

I'm imagining how ridiculous it'd sound if a sub was built that big in comparison to an adult. :shock:

It's OK, you aren't a paedophile. That is a 30" wide T48 and a (small) shapely adult with a 6" wide head per normal.

Apart from the proportions of the wee lass telling me it wasn't a full-grown woman, think about it - you'd have to have one heck of a wife/partner/GF/fiancee who'd be willing to get up in all that mess of paint!

The truth. They will paint the living daylights out of the house, but some how quality time building a cab just won't happen.
2x T39, 1x T60, 1x THTLP, 1x AT(not built by me) 6x DR250
I need more bass

But this gal's built like a burlap bag full of bobcats

Although I do get mine to come with to the shop to lend a hand from time to time. Had her painting grills the other day. Yes, I know, I'm one of the lucky ones.
