About how much did this project cost?

This is a project that slowly evolved over a very long time, So I haven't really kept tabs on exactly how much I spent in total thus far. But hi-end audio and video can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars.

They only good full rang drivers drivers with the performance characteristics I desire would have cost me a small fortune. So I had to drop them from my shopping list and settle for two ways.

Vifa are good components to use, but I question why people who do obviously have some clue as to what you are doing, are still building ported/vented boxes?

Perhaps its your first building.

None the less, I challange you , 5 years from now, to craft a Transmission line Design speaker enclosure using Vifa components,crafted out of ABS Plastic(a fantastic material for enclosures)

I think you will realize the potential, after listening to some Transmission lines at your local audio shop,

I would love nothing more than to build a set of transmission line enclosures. I've heard a pair before and the bass had a very nice open natural sound that was indeed far better than any conventional design. Unfortunately I don't have the room for them nor do I feel secure with the lack of predictability in the mathematics used to calculate the tranny line enclosure specs. Maybe next time I will build a set. But for now I am very satisfied with the performance of my current project.

Good comments,

I will rehash some lessons I learned long ago and it got me interested.
The secret to a good Transmission Line is in matching it to the speceific woofer.This is done by obtaining the measurement of the woofers resonant frequency(the tone that the woofer naturally "rings"much as a bell does)
This measurement is supplied by the manufacturer as the Fs parameter.
It is then a simple matter of determining the correct length for the transmission line.
There is a formula to use.
