Depar Sounds, X1 build.

After Tom from the local climbing wall manufactures had CNC’ed the ply for me, this weekend just gone is the first opportunity I have had to build my new sub bass speakers, speakerplans.com, X1's.
To get prepared Friday meant a visit to Definitions night in Bangor was in order for some beer and drum and bass. This meant Saturday was the day to get going and I spent 11 hours in the workshop with 8 hours from Michael. Sunday was the longest day with 15 hours spent at it, another 4 from Michael and 2 hours from Tom. Thanks Tom I hate all the sanding and preparing. Below are some pictures from the project at different stages for the two different cabinets. All the ply is top quality 18mm birch ply and they are now loaded with Void V18 1000’s.
The pictures are all very good but what you really what is to hear these monsters, I hope to see you out when they are playing soon.
