<p>Thanks John! Been thinkin' about it for some time I just hadta act on it. Yep, John got to see the small but versatile cabin on his first visit. I can invision some mini jam sessions this winter in the cabin with John, have a few beers and maybe a stogie and watch the ice go down the river. Crank out some blues eh?</p>
<p>The carpet kinda keeps things from getting scratched up and from sliding around. You gotta move it when you go to soldering though, figured that out the hard way.…</p>

<p>Good idea. </p>
<p>That first photo makes me smile. I got to see that work area in person. I plan to steal the idea to lay down a carpet scrap like you have to work on gits.</p>

<p>Absolutly that would work Tom. Even a cardboard box will give a guy an idea of how full it will or will not sound.</p>

Fair enough. I figure a box with an open face and then a number of covers with different size holes would allow a drop in capability but, hey, if it ain't broke...

<p>You are correct young man, I guess I have heard enough speakers "out of the box" that I can kinda tell if it will pan out for a build. The only problem I have with having a box to drop them in is, I use every different size and shape of speaker known to mankind. Biggest thing is knowing if the speaker works, 2nd is sound and after a guy hears a couple hundred you get to where you can tell what works and what don't. Sure is fun during the ride to get to that point, I'll let you know if/when I…</p>

What would also be fantastic is a speaker cabinet you could drop the test speakers into easily. A sounding box makes SUCH a difference to the sound a speaker can generate.
