First of all I want to thank everyone at Elemental Designs for their great customer service. One phone call was all it took to get me in the right direction and what best suited my need. I had the honor of speaking to Matt who helped me very much in deciding what sub to choose. This wasn't even on my list, but after talking with him this was probably the most cost effective way to go. So thanks!!!

Okay...on to the build. I'm not the greatest wood worker, but I have a lot of friends who are. So this was a piece of cake for them. All I did was feed them booze and beer and everything went together very well. What the heck else is there to do in Wisconsin this time of year??? Ice fish and drink!! Here are some pictures. Tomorrow this tank gets sanded and routed. As for the finish I'm not really sure yet. I really like the Duratex. So far that's where I'm leaning to.

Yes. You should be very ashamed

[joeybutts]

That LT/1300 rocks my socks off every time I see one. Should have found a way to not sell mine.....

[Ziegler16]

Wow! Looking great! Where abouts in Wisconsin do you live? I'm in Wausau.

[Waresdom]

Hey Gang...The Duratex should be here tomorrow. I have a question about the wiring. I see a lot of you have 12 gauge wire. I saw Alex saying that's overkill. I couldn't remember what he said but I picked up some 16 gauge. Is that too small? I can always take that back. Thanks for your help!

[Wolvatron]

For as short of a distance between the amp and the drivers, 16 gauge should be fine. 14 is ideal, but you're honestly not going to notice a performance difference whatsoever between the 2.

You'll be fine.

[Animo]

Agree with the above. I used 12 gauge because I had tons of it laying around.

[Waresdom]

Hey Gang,

Well the painting is done, the drivers are in and the amp is hooked up. I have some pics that I will post later tonight. Everything went really well. Well except for one screw that didn't want to go in straight. All is good though. I haven't calibrated it yet. I did plug it in and threw in Transformers 2 for a bit. WOW...that's all I can say. I had it in the 12 o'clock position and I thought the glass on my fireplace was going to blow. I turned it down to about the 10 o'clock position and it sounded so perfect. I don't have any equipment to throw some charts at you guys. Maybe I'll pick something up and you guys can tell me what they mean. Thanks everyone for the help. I can't imagine two of these. Unreal. Take care guys. I'll post some pics later.

[Waresdom]

Hey Gang,

Here are some pics. You'll have to excuse the mess. My basement is a disaster at the moment. I have crap everywhere. I just wanted to listen to my new speaker! Anyways...enjoy...cause I am! I'll post some tests when I get a device. Thanks again ED! Sounds amazing!

Sub look s real good. Did you order the grill or are you leaving it nekkid?
Also looks like you got quite a lively room. I would suggest some treatments
to make it less reflective. Maybe an area rug to start? Just a suggestion!!

[Waresdom]

I have a grill coming. It should ship in the coming week. The room is a little lively..It's not as bright as it appears in the pictures. It's my basement. So everything is solid and sound bounces around really good. I know it's not the most ideal HT room but it works for me. Someday I'll have my dream HT, I'm happy with what I got though.
