How time flies! already over a year since the last time I checked the status update section or added any of my own!
Well here is a long over due update (one among many) now that it is my business's off-season and I have time for personal projects and doing blogs and status updates.
Below are pics of my finished DIY, powered subwoofer for my audio/video sound system. As good as a manufactured subwoofer costing hundreds, it was made for substantially less than $100, the speaker being most expensive, but bought at 50% off. Vinyl material was purchased before for making dust covers for consoles and peripherals and cabinet; reused from an old karaoke machine were already in my possession. About $5 worth of the vinyl material was used for this project.
@save2600 You commented that you hoped my DIY subwoofer sounds better than it looks, and rightly so as it still looked bad while I was concentrating of making it sound good. I told you not to judge a book by it's cover, but now you can in this case. Here are the overdo pictures I promised in the last sentence of my last reply to this update. I completed the subwoofer close to a year ago, then got busy with my business,. fully vinyl covered and completed aesthetically. Though I must admit, as proud as I am of my final product in this DIY project, it does still sound better than it looks. I've made more upgrades and additions to my sound system too, including a vintage reel-to-reel tape deck, but I'll show that in a new status update soon.
This all was also posted in a reply of the original status update about my DIY subwoofer, for those who need to catch up. Posting only there would have meant only those who saw the original update and replied would have been notified apparently.

I have decided, just today, to add one more aesthetic and protective upgrade to the subwoofer and both my front tower speakers (that I also completely rebuilt this past year with all new 3-way speakers, protective covers and new paint job). I just ordered a 24-pc metal corner protectors for all three. I'll post pictures of all three speakers once the corner protectors are mounted. below is a picture of what I'm getting along with a speaker example, that I copied off of Amazon.
