On the first page he said 8 sheets of the PVC weighed 220 pounds, so 15 pounds a sheet. I'm going to guess that each completed cab will be in the neighborhood of 70 pounds. My OTop 12's (made from 1/2" BB) with Delta Pros weigh 52 pounds each. Good thing these cabs will be moved once and that's it!

You got half of it right! :lol: 15 lbs. per sheet, but that's only 120 lbs. total for 8. :P

Don't know what they eventually will weigh, but they are heavy . . NOT something for portable use. These will be moved one time to their final resting position so weight is not a concern in this instance . . longevity in the great outdoors is!

I have no idea how I screwed up that math. Actually, I do. I suck at math. :bash:

So I guess the simple answer to "How heavy are those cabs?" is "Very." :lol:

Man, you must be way in west TN. It's 1 degree over here. You're welcome to come over and use my shop- my mini split system is keeping it nice and toasty.

BTW, I've used that cd/horn combo many times before in non-BFM cabs and think they work well.

30 miles northeast of Jackson . . . We busted the predicted high of 8 and made it all the way up to 10! Currently, 4. Thanks for the shop offer, :D but I can keep my garage build area very comfortable with an electric oil heater. Unfortunately, I don't have hazmat type facilities to spray this high in volatiles paint, and giving the inside of my lungs a nice coating of penetrating enamel ain't really on the radar screen! :lol:

Glad to hear about the 202's and lenses. I've always had good success with Selenium CDs and hope that will continue under the Harman umbrella.
