Next week I hopefully will receive my new subwoofers, it's not JBL, Altec or anything like that, but a pair of TC Sounds LMS Ultra 5400 (http://www.google.no/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CB4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parts-express.com%2Fpe%2Fshowdetl.cfm%3FPartnumber%3D293-666&ei=cE_RTI7OOcegOtL7mNAM&usg=AFQjCNFlohT2-dVJVJuD8gR1xEmq-Vdxaw&sig2=rSXhw-s7mS8HfWZpv4k5iQ). I buy a pair of the woofers but I only get one of these "Nautilus" cabinetts.

The reason why I post this here is of course because of the cabinett, I think it so extremly cool and you wouldn't imagine how much MDF and hours the seller have put into it :D It's not completly finished yet, it needs a bit more work and of course paint or wood:

I haven't heard them, but the TC Sounds LMS Ultra woofers is said to sound extremly good but time will show if it's as good as my present Aurasound NS15 woofers. I love my Aurasound for music but they could be a thiny bit better when it comes to movies.

REALLY nice! Looks like he might have had access to a CNC router. :applaud:

Thanks for sharing the cabinet details with the forum. I really like the style and the bracing being used. That woofer looks like it will kick some serious ass.

I think it's a fantastic built cabinet, I wish I could do it like this myself and build another as well :) All sides are at least 40mm thick so it's quite a heavy cabinet, and the woofer inside is quite serious as well with a match weight of 86lbs. In total I guess the cabinet with woofer is aprox 250lbs.

I haven't got the chance to try this one yet since it's still in transport, meanwhile I enjoy the B460 (http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=48448&d=1289163695) I received yesterday :)
