Thanks!
Must be a many many hours, I don't know the total. An awful lot of waiting for glue and sealer to dry though!
I've placed them in my room now. Only got one running so far, need to build another active crossover identical to the first for the other channel. Initially, sounded a bit distant. There's a few things to consider though; the new cabinet is far more rigid and damped than the test box so the overall 'heard' efficiency is likely to be lower with the upshot being a more neutral sound reproduction. The tweeter height has come down too so that will shift the tonal balance a bit as it's a long planar element and is very sensiutive to height positioning. It's also possible these new drivers need some wearing in. So, not going to be hasty making any crossover alterations just yet.
The bass is sounding good from this one though, hopefully it doesn't get skewed with the addition of the other. These are sealed cabs with a response more suitable for smaller rooms.
Definately more low level detail with the new cabinets (the old one was an unstuffed thin walled subwoofer box so it's to be expected really) and these seem to sound better up quite loud, which may be a bit unfortunate...
Looking forward to setting up a stereo prototype!
