I have finished the construction of the boxes.
I plan on painting these with a gloss black finish, but that will come at a later date. I have them installed in my living room stacked at the 1/4 front wall mark. I also have a SVS PB12 DSP that I will using along with them. I haven't had a ton of time trying to integrate these, but initial results are pretty good. I'm powering these with a Crown XLS 1500 and I want to use my MiniDSP for bass management, but I'm waiting for the Art CleanBox to arrive to boost the levels so I can use it. I need to play around with placement a little based on the REW results I'm getting. The room modes I had at 31Hz and 50Hz have leveled off, but I have some nodes to deal with.
All-in-all this was a pretty successful project (sans painting). I learned a bunch and made some mistakes along the way, but I'm happy with how they turned out.
