Super THT build thread

Ok, so I am building a Tuba Home Theater subwoofer using the plans from Billfitzmaurice. I have maxmercy and myn to thank for their great advice and especially myn for his VERY detailed build thread! This build thread will not be anywhere near as detailed because I am working with my friend Joe who is a Professional woodworker with a degree in Furniture design = he is a woodworking genius! So since he is such a good wood worker, he works much faster than I would if I tried to do this build myself, so their will be very few brakes to actually sit back and take pictures.
I am building with Joe's help the THT 30" version because my wife is amazing and is letting me build one of the larger versions of this impressive subwoofer.
Here is a pic of the Dayton woofer I am using, it is the one that Bill recommends in the plans.

Here is Joe getting started on making cuts on his beautiful table saw, the magical tool that makes this build SOOOOOO much easier than with a circular saw!

Here is Joe doing the plunge cuts for the woofer access panel.

Here are all the major pieces minus bracing and deflectors

More to come in the coming week.

It is Birch and is the best looking plywood I have ever seen!

I don't tell Joe what to do, he's the master wood worker. Cuts turned out great. Thanks for the heads up though.

He's my sphynx cat.

I fail to see why they have to be as straight as possible, in my understanding the seal is actually made with the trim pieces that the access panel actually sits down on to. We are actually making a panel to exact dimensions as the hole, not using the wood that was cut out when making the access hole. We are designing fake door panels to go over the access panel, we are making this THT into a piece of furniture that will look like an end table... a very big end table.

I see what you mean, I will make sure that things are within the tight tolerances. The plan so far is to add crown molding along the top and bottom edge, use granite tile for the top, make fake doors and a drawer to cover the access panel (but still be removable) with brushed stainless steel handles and paint the whole THT a dark charcoal gray. I will draw up a sketch of what I want it to look like and post it.

I received my speaker terminals in the mail for about 6 bucks shipped! Gonna get back to work on the build in the next couple of evenings.

Thanks, that's very nice of you to say! I have three sphynx cats, they are the most personable cat breed you can find because from a very young age they learn that they have to come to humans for warmth!

SO I am debating on what amplifier to get now, was sold on the Oaudio 500 watt, but now with everyone saying how efficient this subwoofer is should I just go ahead and get the Oaudio 300 watt version?

Here is a pic of the start of the horn being built, I am so glad that Joe is helping me out with this build, he is a woodworker, I am definitely not!

Not really that great of a pic, but here it is anyways.

Here is a picture of a dork next to the project (me) to give scale, this thing is HUGE!!! (that's what she said)
