Piped driver, a 3 inch full ranger from a surround cabinet

Actually it is not a day effort if you consider mental calculations, reading, assembly processes that went through my mind, ut otherwise, it got finished in one day.
On last to last Saturday I supplied food to my gear acquisition syndrome, bought a used Panasonic 5 DVD player with 4 speaker set because I liked looks of the drivers there in.
Last Saturday I opened those surround speakers. Tried to fit them on PVC pipes.
It seemed working by physical and dimensional similarities. Gaps and mismatches seemed manageable.
Then I took one of the driver to a hardware shop, and found out that an elbow actually is holding the driver nicely. 
Bought two of those elbows and two pipe piece.
Then I took some plywood plates to a nearby wood shaping shop to get required holes in them. 
Later I placed those drivers on the elobow with MSeal.

And ran earthing wires to connect. I put some synthetic cottons inside and mass loaded them at the end too.
Here is the result.




Here is the latest version with increase in line length for more lower bass augmentation.
