A few questions then:

19mm MDF for the cabinet - any problem with that??

Crossbracing - good idea or don't bother? (It's got none atm, as far as I
can see....)



see posts 4 and 7 on this thread for ideas on cross bracing.

apologies for the very long link



Thanks for that - very useful. I'm thinking to construct an entirely new
cabinet (research being carried out to see if we can work 19mm particle
board) and I will now definitely crossbrace the cabinet.

I've taken a few more hasty snaps if anyone is interested*:

It can easily be seen that the box is constructed from little better than
cardboard, the driver is a bit 'anonymous' to say the least and the amp is
quite surprisingly good by comparison. There's a bit of a prob to be sorted
in the amp - works fine on Line In (ie AV amp feed) but is a bit 'silent' in
one channel using the 'Hi Level' (speaker wires) Ins and Outs. Nothing too
obvious, but I haven't had a good scrute yet.

I'll probably post a webpage on my site when I'm done in case it's of any
use or interest.

*Having said that - does anyone here think this 'Show N Tell' malarkey is of
any interest at all or am I just wasting my time?

Me? - I love pix of anybody's kit and/or their doings and would like to see
more of them. (Eternal yap about 'flat responses' do get a bit wearying
after a while, I find....)
