    Great job. One day there will be a set of Shorty 1.2 TL's with 1-piece faceplates in that same fashion. I'm a fan.

    Sure are putting a lot of work into those. I hope they turn out ok.

    What is all the black stuff inside the cabinets?

    The cabinets look really narrow (depth). Did you do calculations for frequency response of the box and PR? Where's the bracing? Just wondering.

    Yes the calculations has been done. With ”exact” spare room for filters. If bracing is needed, i Will add some later.

    The plan right now is to use them as a 2.1 system, paired with a 8-10’ sub.

    That's what I thought. Unfortunately, your speakers will sound lifeless with that material in them.

    Rip all of it out and use polyfill.

    If it is a few mils thick butyl rubber, it will help with cabinet vibes/resonance.
    You will probably have to brace a few spots in the middle line to really mitigate cabinet vibes just like the original 1.2's

    A few mils??? You need to look closer. Heck, he even stated, one inch.

    You are correct, 1 layer. Still a lot thicker than a few mils.

    So basically Dynamat without the aluminum skin. Just as reflective of airborne sound waves as MDF (probably more) but will help dampen cabinet resonances some.

    No. In this case you are wrong. My friend made a pair of JBL minis, where i 3D printed a bunch of parts to him. I heard these speakers with and without this 3mm butyl sheets. It made very much difference, in a really good way. rppj9q0dct5o.jpeg

    Maybe, maybe not. Completely different speaker designs.
