Snake,

The complete one at the back was the first cab I built, I had moved it out of the house waiting on having it picked up for shipping.

Well its gone now so got to finish the new cab asap........

Ok here are some more photos.......

This is the inside of my new cab. There is a shelf that runs on the rails above the sub   that has the computer mounted onto it.

I have installed the WG9200 control unit on the coin door and there is a UPS installed on the bottom right hand side of the cab however it's kind of hard to see it in this photo.

All wires have been tied together and run as neatly as I could do so. The switches on the left hand side of the cab near the front are to control the speed of the 110v fans not installed yet.

Control panel basically the same as the last cab I made just 1 inch wider to match the extra inch I added to the cab this time around.

Wow....the sheer genius of these cabs (and of course yours) continually keeps me amazed. Great work!....I wish I had the space to try my hand at building a custom cab.

Well I've finished my 2nd cab apart from a little varnishing around the bezels. As I've said before this cab was much like my 1st cab but one inch bigger for better mounting of the monitor and this time I centered the WG9200 correctly last time it was mounted a bit low because I didn't allow for the monitor shelf

Gorgeous! Nothing aganist the other guys "all wood" cabinets they look GREAT also, but yours is the best I've seen. The trim around the marquee and base, really set it off. Too bad you couldn't find a veneer that could cover your monitor bezel that would really look cool. Where did you find those round chrome vent/fan covers on the back of your cab? Did they come with the fans you installed or did you purchase them seperate?

Thank you, I'm pleased with the way it turned out, the fan covers came from Happs you have to buy them seperate but I think they are worth the extra.

Here is another shot with the back open.

WOW! Very clean and nice looking.

These wood cabs look great. They seem more at place in your living room. The classic black seems more for the basement...
I am building black, and it's going in the basement.

The cab looks great!

Nice clean lines. Nothing out of place. Yours is with out a doubt the best looking natural wood cab to date.
