   I've cut MDF on other speaker projects and have come to realize I'd much rather deal with these flatpacks. They are cut with precision and fit perfectly. No more driving down to the lumber store, waiting for help cutting the board so it will fit in the SUV, measuring, cutting/routing. The flatpacks also have grooves that make it hold together easily and add extra surface area for the glue to adhere so it's more sturdy than what I could make myself.

   This was my first DIY speaker, and the hype is to be believed. I am posting this in both the speaker and flat-pack reviews.
   
   
   Packing: safe and elegant
   Assembly: take your time, do it right. It's easy to get excited and rush. The flat pack is perfectly designed and Titebond II is the perfect glue for it. Don't bother with PL. I used the 1 gallon bucket of Duratex and only needed 1/2 of the bucket to do three 1099 speakers and two UM-18 subwoofer cubes.
   Performance: Excellent. It's a 3-way speaker and rocks at every part of the audible spectrum.
   
   Read the assembly tips. I read them, but didn't take them to heart and drove a screwdriver through one of the 10" woofers. I was too excited to get them finished and made a poor judgment. DIY Sound Group has replacement drivers for sale, but do it right the first time and you won't be cursing at reference levels.
   Price: Think about what you're getting - it's an incredible deal

   These are so easy to put together that even people with no DIY skills will have no problem building them.
