its here, and it is beautiful, the build quality is very good, tiny bit of glue over squeeze on the spider, but nothing to worry about, the end cap is very pretty, and the weight is more than I expected, this has got to be the most solid and heavy 12 I have ever played with, don't worry I already started to take pictures, I am just not at my personal machine to upload them right now, I hope to build some tonight, little pissed because Home Depot stop carring the mid size sheets of MDF, it was either the 49x97" sheet (which is too wide to fit in my truck, and fittingly their in store saw was broken) or the 24x48" sheets, so I had to spend more on the smaller sheets I hope I have enough to build both the sealed and ported boxes, I smell an article out of this if I play it right
