I can't endorse it of course, but it's being done the right way, with the steel carrying the weight of the array, not the cabinets.

:hyper: Thanks Bill. I feel highly motivated when you comment. I was wondering how one could become an authorised builder. I have good woodworking skills and have been thinking of becoming an authorised builder. Please PM me.

Thanks.

I have built some arrays with this hardware and they are solid but a bit crude :D . Check the pix. BFM has offered me the opportunity to refine it. Thanks.

We had to modify the back cover. The most important thing here we considered is making it air tight.

There should be between 5.t to 6 lb additional weight added to the overall weight of the cabs.
I'm using the Delta Pro 12A and RCF N350 compression drivers for the cabs. These I know is heavier than the neo and piezos but the hardware makes it safe to carry. Even if it goes up to 50lbs, I believe it will still be lower in weight compered to the competition.. KF730 is about 77lbs

Folks we are gradually getting to the finish line. Today we installed the drivers and lined the cabs with foam. Before then, we finished fitting one cab and player music through to inspire us as we worked. Without any equalization, the music already sounded clean and crispy. Every detail came through clearly. I just cant wait to llisten to the full array. we will finish with all the connections ane back covers ill post some pix soon.

We ordered 3buckets of roller grade and 2buckets of spray grade duratex paint from acrytech in the US. We hope to take delivery by the end of this week. (shipping and clearing) Hopefully we will complete the cabs by next weekend. Guess what, There's a gig on standby for the cabs already.
