Sub is all done! 
I have a full weekend, but I'll bring it over next week. I hope it sounds good. You can experiment with stuffing, but it is big enough to not need any really, unless you hear some midrange ringing inside of it, then add a layer of hot water heater FG wrap on the floor.

It is heavy but solid. Probably 200 pounds all up.

You need to fire that beast up in your living room. :)

It doesn't have a hole drilled for speaker wire yet.  Carl wants that in a neat location TBD.

I'll need to get the sub up and running this week.. Seats and projector are getting ordered tomorrow or Tuesday and will be here next week.. So the platforms need to be finalized or there will be nowhere to put them.  :o

I've been in work-mode like crazy this week... yesterday took a day off from everything... and so today it's back to the grind.. Things should calm down (a little) after a big meeting tomorrow... then I can get the platforms finished. :)

Good to hear the progress.   Which projector did you decide to buy?

I'll bring it over as soon as you are available. Tues or Weds? It will take two to lift it out of the van.

Looking forward to hearing sound in the cave.

This will be an exciting week.  Thanks for all you've done, Rich.

I've decided sound quality takes priority over movie viewing so, the panel project will happen this month and the projector will have to wait another month.  I've decided on the Panasonic AE-3000.  That looks like the best for the money.  The AE-2000 was what I would've bought a year ago.  Those still get good reviews too.
