Aaron,
My mother has taken ill and I have been in an out of hospitals for the last week. But I do have some approximations for you.
Creating templates - Front, rear, and internal bracing...............12 hours
Creating sides and braces from templates.............................. ...8 hours
Glue up ....................................... ....................................... 4 hours
Sanding, sealing, and priming 2 stage.................................. .12 hours
Painting 3 coats - 2 stage.................................. ................... 3 hours
Clear Coat 3 coats - 2 stage HOK ....................................... .....2 hours
Buff Clear coat ....................................... .............................4 hours
Speaker and Crossover installation ....................................... ...4 hours
Acoustic dampening ....................................... .......................2 hours
Port assembly and Glue in ....................................... ...............1 hour
As for the $$$ spent, well about $1995.00 for the kit, $10.00 for Polyurethane glue, $20.00 for flush trim router bit, and about $125.00 for paint and supplies. Hope this helps.
The speakers have really opened up since first listening to them, and I am really enjoying them more than ever. They really are spectacular and the clearity with which they produce sound is amazing - It is not that I am hearing things that I never heard before, but because of so little cone movement by the mids and highs, there is very little distortion to speak of; vocals are clear (pink floyd - dark side of the moon), and the sound stage is really wide and deep - just a bit higher than past setups I've had, but kind of reminds me of listening to a live performances from the first row of a concert. NICE!
I'll be posting some updated pics soon.
Thanks, Kelly
