You gotta hang it somewhere while you're putting the next panel in place, right?

All done for now. Poly over black. :noob: Not the best finish job by a long-shot, but the GF & I think it turned out okay, given the circumstances. Didn't paint the mouth because that'll always be firing into something (couch, corner, etc.).

I'm cashing in my man-card and apologizing for my rant about the finish work. Some practice in advance would've very likely prevented that fiasco. :oops:

First step on the back of the can: 1. Test finish on a piece of scrap or inconspicuous area. :horse: Live and learn.

very pretty end result. I like the contrast of the unpainted mouth with the black.
Job wel done. :clap:

Can't get more inconspicuous than below the black finish!

We watched TRON Legacy last night using the Dolby 2.0 audio track @ -6 dB REF (ouch! :twisted: ) . Even with the subwoofer channel goosed +6 dB REF, it still never got higher than 4.8V

That's wall-loaded, and firing directly into the side of our love seat. 8)

According to my DSP, the slim design gives up ~5 dB SPL of response over the wider versions below 50Hz, and that's why I originally wanted to build two. But I am by no means lacking performance. This single slim has all my HT needs well-covered.

When a pin dropping onto carpet in a movie shoots through you like a nuclear blast, I think that's all the bass I need!

completely missed that line in my excitement.

i only have 13" to spare on both areas where i'd like to place my subs

i guess 2x 12" table tuba is still the way to go for me :(
