Monster project. Wanted to share
I had 28 of these laying around. They are motorcycle audio speakers. Nothing special!
Built 4 identical boxes to hold 3 woofers and 1 mid. The tweeter enclosure in the center will hold the crossovers inside on a slide drawer. The woofersare in 4 cu.ft tuned to 44hz. 
The midrange is in a .5cu.ft sealed wedge enclosure. The diffuser panels surround the mid 5” back from there 1.5” denim than behind that stuffed with poly fill. 
Checking my progress with xsim. Still some work to do but the soundstage on these is getting very detailed. Do you think it’s the way the drivers are shaped?
I used the Peerless DA25TX 1” tweeters crossed at around 2.2k and mids crossed around 150hz. Trying to use minimal components. Roller feet in the future and some type of finish probably not a high shine finish, that sounds time consuming. I have under $500 so far in them. When finished I would like to be at around $1k. 
and 4 others.

Punchy sounding?
They look great!
Can’t remember. Just got them assembled again after painting 3 years ago. I’m going to redo the crossover and all the measurements and then we’ll go from there.

Nice looking cabinets! I would think that the 6 x 9 shape of the mids would narrow the horizontal directivity pattern somewhat and make them sound more detailed. Assuming these are 6x9 drivers, I guesstimated from your photos that the driver heights + spacing + tweeter cab (72+18+5.5) = 95.5" tall. So, they should just clear an 8 foot ceiling with 7" to spare!! Or am I way off? Also, how much do these monsters weigh?
Yes. 6x9. They stand 7’ 6” tall and each side is roughly 170lbs.

Narrower membrane = wider H dispersion

Nick, we can meet at my house and you can give a listen to a build or two then we can carpool to Brads shop.
Sounds good guys , I will talk with the bossman and see about getting the third off.
Awesome project and awesome shop! Sorry if I missed it but do you build speakers as a profession (or paid hobby)? If you don’t you should..
Thank you and yes kinda. That will be announced soon here in MAC.

VW project as well… in your free time
In-freaking-credible, but every time I see these it messes with my brain. I keep thinking the photo has been stretched in the vertical but not the horizontal.
