This is my first build in a while, so I decided on something very simple just for fun to build over the christmas break. I ordered 10 Hi-Vi B3N drivers with Ian's group buy after I stumbled upon Zaph's design when looking for tweeters. These little drivers are very impressive in their build quality and look quite nice.

Zaph's design is documented here: http://www.zaphaudio.com/audio-speaker18.html

I have some images on my mobile phone, but its bluetooth radio seemingly gave up on me so no images for now.

I have the drivers, most of the filter components(odd saying that becasue it's not a crossover), MDF cut up at builders becasue my usual supplier is closed and imbuia planks. I will steal an idea of Ian's in using a hardwood baffle/top and MDF sides painted in a black 2k. I'll forgo Ian's french polish special finish and use a straight 2 part automotive laquer.

Edit: I copied the B3S designation from Zaph's page, this is the round flange version B3N.
