Killer idea. How long do you think it would take for the trial boxes to be made? If possible, go with the cherry as well. Cherry, mahogany, and hard maple are viewed as the best material in the home audio realm. Not for finish reasons but for sound characteristics. Your material sounds realy cool. I have been contemplating the same thing with one of our materials. http://www.pentagon-ems.com/products/wave_...ets_detail.html
It is called durapro and is used in pallet designs. It is a made from glass and ceramic compounds is extremely dense and light. The problem comes in milling of the material. You can route or mill it but it will take time and a respirator. Can we say carcinogen?
Sorry about none of my attachments working. I have been having difficulty with my server for the past week.

My goodness - throw in a couple uses of "synergy" and "heuristic" on that wave pallet material and you have a Dilbert moment. Not quite sure exactly what it is but sounds interesting.
Lead time on the boxes is going to depend on the material. The first few easy ones like the HDF, MDF and Fiberglass could probably be finished within a couple of weeks. The ACM/Honeycomb, Granite, Cherry (and other woods) could take awhile. We're being slammed like crazy right now in production (just landed a near $7m contract for Phase III of the Atlantis Resort) - I'll keep y'all updated as to progress though. I'd like to get all the raw material together first, then decide on the best way to go about constructing each enclosure.
I was also eyeing this TFRP (Translucent Fiber Reinforced Polymer) that we sell - some of it seems interesting because it's fiber mesh/resin backed with thick glass panels - glass is fairly dense and it's freaking strong with the FRP backing. Also you can do some really cool backlighting with it. Might throw it into the mix.
First step I think is to nail down a final list of materials to use, then get material sheet dimensions, make a db of everything including material specs and go from there.

OK guys..,. Now that i have the lower frequency advice handled now i need mids and highs.. I want some REALLY good and clear soundingspeakers... Id like to go components all the way around.. 6.5s for the front and 6x8's for the rear... I want to amp them as well... so i need amp suggestions to go with that as well... I like the eclipse amp that has been mentioned above for the bass...so if there is any other good amp in there line up maybe i can stick with that??? But yea thats why i come here.. PPL that know more than me lol

I suggesting demoing the speakers. Sound is very subjective, so you can ask the same question 100 times and get 100 different answeres. If you can do the same with amps for the mids and highs, then I highly suggest it. The new eclilpse xa digital amps aren't on the market. I would suggest sticking to the older premium PA line of amps if you go eclipse. I have ran them for years and love the sound quality. In all honesty, the only amps I would not recomend is california and audiobauhn.

JBL makes some great stuff - Alma Gates took Best SQ at MECA ('05 I believe), first place Master Class and 2nd place IASCA Bass Boxing (1st place went to someone else from the JBL team) using JBL GTi/Power Series amps, GTi components, Pro horns and GTi subs.
Also the JBL 1200.1 is well regarded.

Yeah the BP series aka lego blocks are some serious amps.
My friend has had the BP 1200.1 running strong for about 4 years now. Those JBL/Crown amps are friggin beasts as well, lol.
IDK i respect anything coming out of the harmon/kardon factories.
