    As always, fantastic packaging and speedy turn around times from Erich and DIYSG. After unpacking everything, I reviewed all of the individual parts and dry fitted the Baltic birch flat pack and MDF baffle.

    The cabinet assembly was rather quick and painless.

    Assembly of the crossovers were next.

    Mounted the crossovers and starting to glue in the foam. Getting close to attaching the front baffle, just waiting to take delivery of the terminal cups from PE.

    Installed the baffle on the second cabinet... almost ready to sand and finish them. :cool:

    First coat of Restore 4X applied... ran out of flat black, so before I apply the second coat, I'll pick up a rattle can to give the speaker recess a quick shot so the MDF doesn't show through when the speaker is mounted. Getting closer...

    2nd coat applied. HD was out of flat black spray paint, so I used q-tips to cover the driver recess. I'll check them in a few hours to see if they need a 3rd coat... I think I gave my sub 3 coats, but we'll see.

    Took a little longer than they should have as I was crazy busy in the office; however, they are finally done. Hope to spend some quality time with them tomorrow.
