Yes, it is wool felt thickness 10mm, the seller calls it Acoustic Eco felt, 1.5 X 3 meter costs me 1.5k.The damping material is sheep wool felt or something different, whats the thickness of same & what was the cost?
I have completed the enclosure and fixed the drivers too. Initially, when I listened to it, I felt like something is missing in HF. Then I checked the wiring and found one of the tweeter polarities has been reversed. I fixed that now it sounds good.
For the finishing, I am planning to do laminate with 0.8mm mica. If there are better ideas, please comment.

Nice build. Appreciate your passion and interest in DIY speakers. It is not an easy job to do wood work unless you have skill, good tools and off course a open yard or shed which can take care of all the mess and dust.I have completed the enclosure and fixed the drivers too.

I did laminate, and got busy, didn't get the time to put the drivers back. I Will update soon with pics.Hi Jeanpher, beautiful speakers. What finish did you finally use on the speakers. Request you to kindly post pics of finished speakers.

Looks really good..Hello Everyone,
Finally, I could take some time to finish my speakers, I used Virgo 0.8 mm Laminate and it looks good. I tried to match the pattern from side to side and it came good. If you see in detail there will be minor amateur mistakes but overall I am happy with the finish.

Firstly congratulations on your third build. I'm in the planning stage of my first build.Yes, it is wool felt thickness 10mm, the seller calls it Acoustic Eco felt, 1.5 X 3 meter costs me 1.5k.

I have a question thought. What is the GSM of the felt and where did you source it?
I didn't get enough time to listen to it after finishing it, It did sound very good, the only issue is I need to crank up the volume over 60 % to get into sing with enough db, which I am aware of from the designer's note.Well done Jeanpher. Any more impressions about sound quality ?
regards
addition : earlier you said you were going to buy good router. Which did you buy ? are they easy to work with ?
