Hope you get a fast recovery!! This build looks amazing so far!

**a1161979** · **12-05-08, 10:51 PM**

Can i ask what happened to this build? Was it ever finished? Ill head over to AVS now but if anyone here knows post it up

**robertcharles123** · **12-06-08, 10:42 PM**

I was sidetracked by hurricanes Gustav and Ike, but as I got back to business and ready to go, I unfortunately broke a finger and surgery lead to complications. I am just now getting back to a somewhat usable sense of my former self. I hope to get going forward soon.

Thanks,

Robert

**robertcharles123** · **12-14-08, 02:29 AM**

A little progress. What do you think?

**thxgoon** · **12-14-08, 03:44 AM**

Beautiful work. Those look more like main speakers than subwoofers. They will never know....

**Jason_Nolan** · **12-20-08, 07:07 PM**

I'm posting to receive the updates to this thread. I'm impressed. Maybe if I ever do my build I'll pick your brain for tips if you allow it. I have zero wood working skills, or almost.

**robertcharles123** · **12-21-08, 01:23 AM**

All four grills are done!

Cool Jason. Anything I can help with just ask.

**ISLAND1000** · **12-21-08, 08:25 AM**

GEEZ! That is really somethin . . . . . they are just plain beautiful! Look at em, standing there . . . . like sentries at the pearly gates. Wow! Way to go Robert.

**Blaser** · **12-21-08, 01:59 PM**

I like that front baffle. Looks very strong, and it needs to be

**robertcharles123** · **12-22-08, 11:36 AM**

Thanks for the encouragement and compliments. I am happy with the way they are turning out. I have been looking at them in that garage so long that I am kind of used to their size. People who see them for the first time have quite a different reaction. I cannot wait to finish.

**Owen Bartley** · **12-22-08, 12:00 PM**

Awesome. Great work Robert, the grills look really nice. And I don't care if you're used to them or not, those things are ginormous.

Biggest mains ive ever seen in my life

I cant wait to see some finished photos. Might seem kinda strange but knowing everything that has happened during the build i hope they are completed soon for you to enjoy

I think you'll enjoy them more knowing what has gone into the project

As always

to you Robert

they look nice, just whant to see them with speakers mounted!

how are you moving them, fork lift?

**robertcharles123** · **01-12-09, 12:49 AM**

Granite is paid for and templates are made. Supposed to be ready in 2 weeks. Here are the templates in place.

Oh yeh,

I might have to use a forklift to move these bad boys. I have a guy I know who has a 44 foot boom lift. He says he might be able to get them to my second floor from the yard next door, but we will have to measure more accurately.

Thanks,

Robert

Seems that way. I'm more worried about finishing this project. It is getting very heavy or I am getting extremely weak. I just want to get done. Hopefully paint can go in the next couple weeks, and be kind of wrapping up by month's end. Today is my birthday, and I was hoping to get them done by now, but at least I see the light. I got lucky with the granite. They dropped a whole slab of absolute black and it just so happenned to break in 4 pieces. They are willing to do all the cutting and polishing on both sides of the tops and all the mounting holes and bore holes, so they say. I already paid half. So, hopefully, they will come through.

**ISLAND1000** · **01-12-09, 10:33 AM**

It's been almost a year since your first post and the start of this project. Thanks for hangin in there Robert. You're an inspiration to all of us. You've been through lots of heartache and pain and still looking to the day when you can proudly say . . . . There! it's done.

**Warpdrv** · **01-14-09, 11:24 AM**

+1 from Phils comments.... Robert, can't wait for you to make your journey complete, your undertaking has been monumental, and with natures fury thrown in your direction, we all wish you the best and know your efforts will pay off big time in the end !!!

**applez** · **01-19-09, 02:54 PM**

This is incredible. I just joined the website and this struck my eyes. It is beautiful. I hope you can finish it so that you can enjoy your masterpiece that you have spent so much time on. I wish you the best of luck.

**Ricci** · **01-19-09, 03:25 PM**

Robert,

I just noticed in the full on side profile shot in post #191 that there is a hole drilled in the side of the cabinet. What is this for?

**robertcharles123** · **01-19-09, 09:58 PM**

They are for the speakons.
