All I can say is Holy Shite talk about the fine art of speaker building, forget about the tech specs for a minute and just look at these puppies, these things are works of art, I love them and hope to build such beautiful speakers one day, thanks for the post Matt , they really made my day , really nice DIY.

Very Nice.
I was amazed to read that they weigh 300lbs each!

That's the 10 coats of lacquer.

Yikes!

I can only dream of doing that kind of wood work. What a great job this guy did.

I wonder how much just the cabinet itself weighs.

Have any of you built with baltic birch before? I am hearing that this makes a very good bracing material due to its improved stiffness over MDF...

I brace with Oak. It's much easier to cut for those sizes.

This is a nice build for sure.

Looks great. Eventually I will take on a curved cabinet design for something. Our local Hi-fi shop has the JL Audio Gotham G213. The sub is amazing and the curved cabinet designs make me drool.

If so inclined; you could look up the driver specs and see if the weight is listed.
JBL 2235H woofer, Altec 802-8G w/tangerine phase plug on a 511B horn and a JBL 077 slot tweeter.
Add a few lbs. for a xover; and that would get you close enough for government work.

I'm feeling very ghetto hifi right now seeing those.

That veneer is absolutely awesome.

The craftsmanship looks great. Not sure how i feel about the contemporary design though.

He's got some very cool looking amps.

 

[GO-NAD!]

Fantastic craftsmanship, but I have to question the placement of the speakers after putting all that work into them. Then again, it may be only for photo purposes...

You can see a pretty good start to finish here, where the originator posted it on Polk: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40820
