Sounds somewhat similar to the SASS sound. Though I'd need something 
that was spread over a wider area to really compare well. Nice bunch of 
frogs.

You might want to note that the SASS housing is actually hollow between 
the mics. Filled with a large block of foam, but no solid barrier. Don't 
know if that makes a difference in the sound. I note you used solid 
plastic with a thin foam layer.

Also, as far as building a SASS cheap, the "official" housing bought as 
a part is so inexpensive it's hardly worth going to the trouble to 
duplicate it. If I remember right, something like $26 for that single 
part. What is the cost stumbling block with the SASS is the mics. I 
originally went to all the trouble to work out designing my own too, 
until I found out the cost of the ready molded one.
