Yes.

Thanks Leland!

More work tomorrow. Last sanding of the TLAH and spray paint them.

Put together my curved SLA while waiting for the paint to dry.

So this took forever:

Sorry for the crappy phone photos. Will update at some point. Still don't have crossovers or backs on them! So I have just turned them on with only the full range 3" woofer so far.

They sound great lol ! I am still getting good response at 110Hz without the backs on, so I am positive they will dig more than deep enough when complete. I don't know if they will open up more with the tweeter arrays going, but I have noticed the sound is definitely best mid array. Sounds good above or below, but great at that mid point and boy does the sound carry through the house.

I also swear they are not nearly as loud as I thought they would be. Maybe because there is less/no distortion. Not sure. I have tripled checked the wiring. Going to get them sealed up tomorrow. Hopefully get crossovers by the end of the week. Then I just need an AV Receiver and my TT's lol.
