Hi Mark,

There are a lot of hours and dollars in my LowBoy:

- Brand new 145-size cabinet from Valhalla Woodworking, sprayed (locally) with Rhino Liner
- 800W Eminence woofer
- 225W Selenium tweeter (it weights 19 lbs.!)
- Custom-made bracket/bearing for the tweeter
- Custom-made 500W crossover
- Custom-made solid-state speed control
- Hafler P3000 amplifier (375W bridged into 8 Ohms)
- TC Electronic compressor
- Speakeasy Preamp w/Barker

Not exactly a weekend project ...

Regards,

-BW
