Hello Ray, I have made the cabinet myself. You basically take a piece of 1/2 inch plywood to make the bottom and attach it to the frame above the windows. The you make a front piece with a cutout door, scribe it to the ceiling and attach it to the plywood as well as to the top. I also installed two rear speakers in the front panel of the cabinet. I don't have any photographs which could be posted. Cheers, Bj�rn At 11:04 PM 12/04/00 -0400, you wrote: >>>Been there, done that. A pop-top conversion is not as difficult as it >seems.
