Hi Michael,I have followed a few of your threads in interest. But, I know almost nothing about speaker building, ask Wayne, he knows me.
But, one thing I do know is, that you cannot let others influence your efforts to build speakers and enjoying it.
We are all a work in progress, there is not a sole who does not learn something every day, even the experts.
So, hang in there, don't give up your passion. Your efforts will pay off eventually, for yourself and others.
