If you've made it this far, you must
atleast be partially curious as to how the speakers look. This is
a compilation of all of the photos, construction details, and graphs I
have relating to this system. Click on the images to enlarge.

This shows the internal bracing
for the center channel.
Just before initial assembly of
the center speaker. That's Gorilla Glue (polyurethane).
Initially only the sides and top
and bottom were glued to allow the front and back to be removed for routing
and easier access to the crossover.

Can you can guess what this is?
Here's a shot of the inside with
the crossover installed, before the internal braces and padding are installed.
Here's a rear view of the front
baffle.
Here's the semi-assembled center
channel (lower) and the old center channel that the tweeter was robbed
from.
Here's a view from the top of the
center channel.

Another front fiew. Note that
the tweeter is slightly offset from the woofers.
