I'm still planning on housing it in the cabinet for several reasons, the most crucial being cleaning. We have dogs and anything on the floor become a dust bunny magnet.

One initial comment is that I first heard and then found from personal experience that the bass reflex speaker works best when flat on the floor, especially if you can get one of its largest surfaces in contact with the floor. I have mine this way and find that deep bass sounds actually become more of a sensation than a sound as the vibrations are delivered through the floor and, to some degree, the house.<br /><br />The detached curves on the ends are what really catch my eye on this design. Your sketch also seems to indicate contrasting woods for the main frame and the panels. I think it'll work really well.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772334089839675041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036710748217601184.post-42425163570455216362013-01-06T08:48:32.544-08:002013-01-06T08:48:32.544-08:00Thanks, Joe and Marilyn!

The DHP is a 2 ton unit. A bit overkill, but to a point, the efficiency goes up in oversizing.
