Finally finished!
I finally finished my first speaker build. I have not hooked them up yet because they are still at my parents house. They turned out real nice. Thanks to everyone here who has helped with all of my stupid questions. I will give a report on their sound in a day or so. You can read the build details in the thread "Almost there". Mike D.

Thanks everyone. I have lots of time in them, and really enjoyed it. Yes I am a machinist and I did build the aluminum parts, that was the easy part. The spikes are not sharp, I rounded them so they would work on hardwood (Tested on my parents floor of course).

My wife is not crazy about the white either so it looks like I will have to build another pair-- gotta make the wife happy right? This pair will go in my own private room in the basement.
Hey Mike, not being an engineer or anything, how thick would aluminum need to be to support say 150(to be safe)? Trying to come up with something like this:
Home Depot sells some 1/8" thick flatbar and wondered if it could be used to rig up something like this? Or better yet, how much would you charge?

I would shoot for 1/4" 6061 T6 aluminum. 3/16" would work. 1/8" would hold the weight but might be a little springy. Order aluminum from McMaster Carr (mcmaster.com). Sorry, If I had my own Bridgeport I would be glad to help. Any local machine shop could make them easily. You wouldnt need the slots, just 4 holes plus the M6 tapped ends.

Nice. Hop to it!

But before you do that... definitely invest in some measuring equipment (if your AVR doesn't have it at least).
Then you'll know how flat it is, or isn't; and can tweak based on that.
Some do, some don't.

Im still unsure on what measuring equipment to buy.
