when you have a chance please post more pics, or you can email me. just got my selenium horns and tweeters yesterday. placed an order with bob c. for the woofers and x-overs. should have them by next week.

any more pics? we love pics

wow...that's quite some bracing...i am sure that cab is rock solid. it seems you didn't fill the cab with any acoustic stuff?

i only have the sub on while watching movie. for music, i prefer just the cornwalls in direct/pure audio mode on the receiver.

hi mike, did you mount the drivers with wood screws or machine screws & bolts?

thanks for the link. wasn't aware that they're are so many variations of the e-waves. i must have been looking at the standard ewave, in terms of pricing, where it seems much cheaper.

nope, i am going with the CS-1....parts are already coming. it just strike me when i look at the CS-1 and the e-wave and saw how much similar they are. there's no way of telling which one is better with out A/B them. heck, even if i A/B them, i might not be able to tell a difference.

my point is: parts for the CS-1 is about $550 (woofers, drivers, horns, crossovers). parts for the e-waves is about half of that (from what i've read) is the CS-1 a good value? i guess so, if it offers better performance than an HIII as reported.

hey Mike, a few more questions. 1) what's the hole size for the horn? 9.0x4.75 or 10.88x6.50? 2) i supposed the woof hole is 10.69 in diameter? and when you get a chance, could you post some pics of the inside? thanks

yea, but the thing is the e-waves cost about half to build.........

doesn't the CS designs look awfully close to the Econowave Speaker over at AudioKarma ?

don't know, but i just ordered the Emo box.

thanks Mike, i will be doing the vertical CS-1..... sure, please send the links for grills....i would love to see them

are you serious? .....kiddin'... [<)]

sorry for the confusion. i meant, i upgraded the crossovers on the Cornwalls.

lol.... i will let the pros do the pioneering.. i am just an amateur learning to do the basics.

looking good there Mike. let me ask a few questions. 1) what glue do you use (TiteBond III)? 2) what screws? 3) what is "bracing"? also, can you send me the router templates that you used to cut the holes for woofer and horn? thanks

thanks guys, exactly what i needed.

thanks guys...i am really excited about the CS-1, and thank god Bob C. is around. but i still have lots of research to do, since i have absolutely zero wood work skills.

well, sad to say goodbye but i've just sold my RF-3s, which are my first ever REAL set of speakers that i purchased straight out of college. i also sold the RC-3II as well. but don't feel sorry for me, i am ready to take on a new adventure. http://www.critesspeakers.com/crites-cs-1-speaker-project.html yes, i will attempt to build some Crites CS-1s with the newly raised funds.

thanks so much McD, i will look into getting the parts ready.

thanks for the tips Rudy, i actually already have that guide. btw, i won't be ablet to run Audyssey tonight, just sold of my centers along with some other stuffs. getting ready for more upgrades.

thinking of hooking two subs with XLR from a single XLR from the pre/pro

thanks for all the help rudy81, it seems everything is in order now. i will run audyssey tonight and let you know.
