SOLD
Is there any interest in a DIY kit for an excellent low cost open baffle speaker that is very easy and economical to build? I was going to build myself a pair, but I already have too many speakers and other projects going, so I have to pass on what I have assembled so far for someone else to complete.
The speaker is the DIY version of the Manzanita Ultra. The commercial version that John sells is shown here:
