My babies...
Speaker cabinets made from 36mm mdf and glued with epoxy. Inside cabinets damped with bitumen compound, accoustic foam and dacron. Both speakers have a sealed bottom chamber that is filled with sand to damp the cabinets further. Integrated anti theft mechanism... They weigh about 80kg each.
Rear ported with big flared ports. Inductors for crossovers are wound from 16ga OFC copper. They are huge and weigh a tonne.
The sub off the side was a pretty quickly cobbled together afair using an australian made Redgum sub amp plate and an old 10" orion car sub I had laying around.

Is the MDF 36mm or two 18mm glued up?
I have never seen 36mm at my supplier and have never asked.
Need some new speakers at home and may have to build some soon (just for the stereo).Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

any details on the sub, I have a 15" one sitting here and want to do the exact same thing - What did you use as a power amp for it ?
Cheers
Tom

There are a few el cheapo sub amp plates from places like Jaycar but I opted for the locally made product which had better specs but cost a bit more. Redgum were REALLY helpful and interested in what I was doing.
