Thanks for your words...I have built plenty of speakers with great results. I have used foam core, plywood, OB"s made out of heavy carton, and MDF. I just have a problem with my woodworking skills. Got plenty of good advice from some people, others I just think of them as old grunts; if you read my posts on other forums you'll see that I know how to put them in their place. Thanks for your words...Appreciate it.
