Got this far this past Sunday but I'm working a schedule this week through Sunday that will keep me from applying the veneer until then. So I listen to the BatSpeakers in the corners and pretend the music is coming from the new guys. Is that twisted?

they look good! I'll bet you're going to enjoy them! It sure is a good looking design to get that much speaker in that size box. I've got two pair sitting in my living room right now, mine, and a set I built for a friend. I'm tempted to try them both at the same time, but haven't yet.

None digital- next time my daughter comes over I'll ask her to take some. Both have the horns surface-mounted and look very good. I'm not sure the flush-mount would be a benefit with this design.

Looks great, Bill. I see your side to side brace. Do you also have one front to back, between the woofer and tweeter?

Just the window brace so far. I still have to JBL-it with some 2x4.

"Bracing
The goal of cabinet bracing is to make the cabinet as rigid and resonance-free as possible. Bracing made of 2x4’s or
75mm (3-inch) pieces of the (birch) ply should be applied inside the cabinet. The braces should be placed at slightly
odd intervals on the panels and liberally glued and screwed down on edge. The glue on the braces accomplishes all
the stiffening needed so be careful to apply enough glue. Use one piece of bracing on panels between 300 mm and
600 mm (12" to 24"), two pieces on panels between 500 mm and 1200 mm (18" to 36"), and three pieces on larger
panels. The baffle cutout disc that is normally discarded can be glued and screwed down to one of the box panels
for additional stiffening." - JBL Professional Encloseure Guide

Worked really well on some enclosures I built for Spkrman.
