    Thats a nice Ben-Q monitor you have there! I have one that looks just like it. I find it to be a lovely little monitor for personal use.

    Excited to see how this project comes out mate, I've seen some speakers built with various degrees of success so I definitely wish you the best!

    Neat project.

    ...how does a speaker die? I'm kinda curious because I bet you could fix them unless it was some kind of catastrophic failure. (Like, the cone shooting across the room trailing voice coil wire, and upon landing bursting into flames.)

    Really nice project!

    hmmm... could you please write me som dimensions? im not relly sure i get the size of them, by eyeballing i would guess about 30x12x7 cm or something but i some pictures it looks ridiculus small and other a lot bigger, as it's also a 3-way speaker, how small can it be?

    And final question, where are you going to place the electronics?

    What a cool project. I am interested in the results. Why didn't you go with bigger drivers?

    the crossover-board i guess(green board with pink "thingies" on), i guess you put in in the bigger chamber? is that what splits the sound between drivers and tweeters.

    Hard to decide, but I think the first one is better. :thumb:

    The paint looks a bit grainy. Did you want it to look like that?
    Other than that, nice work!

    Lookin good!
    In a year or so I am hoping to build myself some Statements. Definitely not a cheap job.

    How is that aluminum with the clear coat over it? Is it noticeable and does it keep a nice durable finish?

    Lookin good. Too bad I missed the poll, would have liked to see those longer alu panels in front.
    Keep it up.
