This is not my listing. (If it is, I've forgotten why "I have about 150 of these. Two sizes." )

I assume the cabinets are sturdy and well-braced if they were really intended for Aerial speakers.

I seem to remember that member @617 is in the MA area and builds DIY speakers.... I hope someone can make use of a few of these cabinets.

I think I saw this a while back. Sort of odd sizes and layouts. Apparently from a never-released home theater lineup?

I can imagine it would be hard for a DIY project to make use of these cabinets, nice as they might be. On the other hand, if you've always wanted Stonehenge in your backyard in black MDF...

Yeah you might turn them into planters. I feel bad for the guy who has to get rid of 150 of them!

Are those quality control rejects?

As a former owner of their very first speaker the 10t, I can attest that those boxes are undoubtedly well made. Don't know why a talented DIYer couldn't find drivers and build a xover to make an excellent speaker. Even if he didn't like the cut outs on the baffle, he could just replace it and put whatever speakers he wanted in that box.

Wonder if Aerial would sell drivers/crossovers....

Yeah getting a truncated SB 150mm midwoofer won't be easy.

What size is the mid-range cutout?

Dayton RS150T-8 might be viable.

Why wouldn't you use your own front baffles ? Put it over existing one and route the openings you wish/need. You'd end up with Jamo D830 look.
