I'm always looking for an excuse to build a pair of speakers. I really enjoy it.
I had built some quick, rough 1 pi's for my sister and brother in law, to replace a pair of scrappy little HT in a box mains that were each about 2" square lol.
They were gobsmacked at how great they sounded, compared to their tiny little low sensitivity mains!
I ran them in at my place first, and I was also astounded at how great they sounded. This enticed me (gave me an excuse) to build myself a pair of two pi's for my office 
The kits are on back order, this gave me plenty of time to start building the enclosures and have them ready to stuff the components in once they arrive.
This time around I decided to use some cherry veneer I've had laying around for a while, instead of my typical black racing stripe down the middle-
Next is to cut out the holes for the ports,
Then stain and polyurethane, and the cabinet stuffing.
If you can see the pics closely, you'll notice these enclosures are far from perfect. I really love building things for friends and family. Having them appear hand made is completely acceptable, vs. the perfect and flawless look that most paying customers would demand.
I'm also going to build 12" tall (approx.) speaker stands for these out of concrete,
using bucket bottoms and some 3" schedule 40 PVC pipe for forms.
More pictures to come....
Merry Christmas!
