More than happy. Yeah, you could say that.
One of the worst parts of forums is how everything gets left open ended and you don't know whether the last posting was the final word that set the OP straight or whether the OP gave up, so I'm providing follow up.
My carpentry skills are awful, so I paid somebody to build one of these. He did a nice job, glued and screwed, and we left one of the panels removable (used some weather stripping to make sure the sealing is good). Used a piece of PVC for the top vent instead of a coffee can, and put it in the church.
I couldn't have been more disappointed by the non-existence of anything under about 100 hz. Then I reversed the phase on one of the drivers (d'oh!) and sat back at the organ console and started playing. Still nothing under 80 hz. We have the ability to control the volume of the electronic rank note by note, so I started turning up the low notes, further and further. And I realized I was sitting in a dead spot, while the rest of the roam was SWIMMING in bass. Moving the speaker just a foot fixed the problem (well, probably just moved it, but I don't really care).
So this is the best subwoofer we have tried yet, and a local cabinet maker is making me 6 more of them as I write this out of some descent plywood for the next couple jobs. Perfect fit for the application, thanks for the help on here.
