Glad you liked all the eye candy. Something I forgot to mention in the picture captions: It's best to coat the entire piece with the 50/50 glue & water mixture and not just the rough edges. The mixture will, like water, raise the "grain" of the mdf, so you need to sand it thoroughly after it's dry, and if you have the patience it doesn't hurt to do a second coat and sand again. This will give you a smooth hard non-porous painting base that allows the automotive-like satin gloss that looks so good on a painted enclosure. If you do not use the glue/water mixture you're going to have to apply many many coats of paint and still have rough edges.

When I got back here I saw this great project.
The slide show is excellent and the project writeup superb.


I'm studying a few of the Voigt designs and want to attempt
it in a bit. Over at the melhuish site (now called
www.fullrangedriver.com) TC has a project called Bigger Is
Better using the Voigt principle as well.


What I am scratching my head about is whether to use
the straight side or the angled side for driver mounting.


There is considerable writing on having slant fronts
on speaker cabs these days. Plus there are a few companies
using the slant front idea: Usher and Swans come to mind.


So my idea is to make a hybrid slant front Voigt pipe.


Is there any contrary information on this that I've missed?


Great job. :-)

Where exactly in the room are your speakers located? They wouldn't happen to be two or three feet from a wall or corner, are they?
