I'm anxious to see Sean's build too. I'll bet he'd be happy to get the same look as you did on your subs. You really did a good job and I'm sure he appreciated the tips.

I was tempted to go that route - but laziness prevailed and I dropped the assembled cabs off to the local Rhino liner today. I'm guessing cost will be about Double the diy route - hopefully the results are as good as what you did!
I like the choice of neutrik connector as well - that is also a tempting option here.

I'm impressed you made that Duratex look so good!

Go get them back! You'll need a half gallon of duratex and one roller. The cleanup is so easy with Duratex it's silly. The Neutrik is just nice and simple without any wires falling out ever. I like them when possible.
If you really are going to add the Neutrik, I really suggest you do it before paint though. It would really suck to have an "oops" on a finished cabinet.

Thanks for posting these details! It's very useful for me. Did you use 10-32 for the t-nuts, or 1/4" x 20?
1/4"-20 Tee Nuts for my driver. However, if you are using a small Waveguide or driver you can use 10-32 without an issue. Overkill is usually good; however, the bolt still needs to go through the trim ring.
