Before these speakers, I always scoffed when someone said they only needed some meagre amount of power with their speakers. I've been running these from just 2W RMS per side since I finished them, and although I do want more, I don't really need it. It can already get loud enough to get the wife covering her ears. You can feel the bass in other rooms. They're just that efficient. Awesome.

Weight of MDF in these two is approx:
((1.480 + 1.352) * 0.3 * 0.019) * 800 kg/m^3 ~= 13kg
Pine looks to be about 500kg/m^3, and I had about 2.4 * 2 * 0.02 * 0.02 in it. So about 1kg
We'll call the stuffing and wires and terminals 1kg all up, too.
The drivers are supposed to be:
Woofers: 1.9kg each
Tweeters: 0.5kg each
Then there was the screws @ approx 0.7kg
So, grand total:
13 + 1 + 1 + 1.9 + 1.9 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.7 = 20.5kg or there abouts.
I guess if I Pull the woofers out and pull the cheap stuffing out and fill them full of clothes or something, I can put up to about 8kg more in a bag with them.
Why am I figuring this out? Need to figure out if I can take them on a plane with me, or ship them via sea, or have to throw the carefully constructed boxes away for lack of funds. :-(
