The bass is the place...
I am loving my brief but actual experience!Works incredibly well in a 10' x 14' office room!Tried 1, then 2 subs. Couldn't get the muddiness out of the sound until subs 1 through 4 rang through clear as a bell! 
Swarming!

Thanks for the replies!Well they are hooked up and playing (beautifully through a new Hegel H190).But the cloth is still stuck. Especially tight on the three round protrusions (?) that are vertically aligned along the upper middle of the panel. Lo...

@Mahgister - I was just thinking the same thing.  Will likely not bother with monofilaments.@Millercarbon - Yes, very cool setup!  Lots of it still way over my head but very cool! Been taking your advice in some of my setup.  Not complete yet.  Ye...
