MY ONGOING PROJECT.

I have always wanted my own 5.1 surround sound system for home entertainment, but mainly for gaming. So I started researching online to see what was out there. Anything I was interested in that had good sound was way too expensive, and I knew I didn't want a box system.

I eventually ended up talking with a good friend of mine and he told me about creativesound.ca. It's a Canadian site that sells drivers and crossover components. You can order kits or individual parts to create your own speaker setup, and they have a great selection of speaker plans.

I decided to start looking for some design ideas, and finally placed my order. I presently have 5 out of my 5.1 system.

I've been taking my time with the design and build, but I am very happy with what has been completed so far.

Materials:
In this project I am using 3/4" MDF, wood glue, screws, caulking, bondo, speaker dampening fill (another cool product from creative sound) Monster band speaker wire and crimp-on end connectors to attach my speakers to the binding posts.

Here are some pictures of the progress. This build is based off the EL70/mMar-Ke/70 1v0 plans I found on the Creative Sound web site.
