lsiberian Audioholic Overlord Nov 17, 2008 12,393 0 113 On A Bridge in Fort Worth Nov 2, 2009 #6 I really like how it's coming along. I'm doing the same build just at a much slower pace with a tc sounds 12" driver. Are you laminating it before staining? or are you keeping the seams?

I wonder how the Shiva 12 X2 will model and sound?

Click to expand... You'd be best to build a separate grill frame. And use dowels to mount in the corners. I don't plan to add grills. But I may need something when we have kids.

2 240jz Enthusiast Oct 11, 2009 24 0 0 Nov 6, 2009 #19 Here she is done for now! (i may think about laminating over the stain) This thing sounds awesome! currently i have it in the middle of the room and it still bangs! I cannot wait for the stain to fully dry so i can corner load it. It may not be the best build but i can say i built it! Not bad for a non-carpenter... (i think)

I'm trying to convince my friend to build a pair of those since he has a couple 12W6V2s lying around unused. What are you using to power it?
