sand in there as well?

let's see some drawings already.

oh please
Like so many things I build around the studio the drawings are just a single piece of paper with quick sketches (after 4 years of architecture schooling you'd think I'd do more!) and these are tossed after the project is completed. Sorry. Really nothing fancy, the floor and walls are particle board with furring strips to hold the two layers apart and dried sand poured into them to add to the mass. The door is really pretty cheesy and if you look close you can see I cheated and just put two layers of sheetrock on top of the plywood and Sonex on top of the sheetrock. One side of the door is screwed into place and the right side is on hinges and uses slide lock bolts (along with a couple of screws) to hold it tightly shut. The right hand door is for changing the mic and to change out the cab you have to also unscrew the left hand door, which I have never done to this point. It would have been fairly simple to make both doors open easily I just didn't anticipate using it with different cabs as I have pretty good iso's on the studio. The entire cabinet is on heavy casters. You can't really move it around, but I wanted it to touch the floor with as little surface area as possible to decouple it.
