[QUOTE="Spenser Hamilton, post: 98527, member: 2272"] Re: FREE SUB PLAN: Dual Lab12 (Front Loaded) by Welter Systems Not sure on weight, I think it was mentioned earlier that they are around 100lbs loaded and I would think that is pretty close to accurate. I used one brace from baffle to back (3" wide piece of birch running between the drivers), the port walls seem to make the rest of the cabinet pretty stiff so I don't think any other bracing is necessary. I can lift one and stack it on another by myself although I'll opt for a helper whenever possible. It's also worth noting that I am 26 years old, 5'11 and 270 lbs and regularly stack dual 15 tops on dual 18 subs by myself, fight loaded amp racks out of the van solo, and all the other things that I'm sure will catch up with me in 10 years, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Handles are from Penn Elcom, asked my contact there to recommend a set that wouldn't vibrate and so far it seems he delivered. I would have to look up the exact model. Grill was from Penn as well, air conditioner filter was attached using 3M spray glue but it was hard to keep the foam attached to the grill without making a mess with the glue. I would welcome any ideas on how to make the grills look cleaner because at this point they are the only part of the project that I'm not happy with. The box goes together pretty quick, the port construction takes a bit of time however. I cut long strips of the 3/4" wedge and trimmed them to size on a radial arm mitre saw, wood filler and paint covers up lots of mistakes. :) [/QUOTE]
