Re: SLA ht build
Here are some pictures of the finishing process. This is 3 days in the making a little more than half way done applying finish and then buffing begins.

Re: SLA ht build
Your cabs look nearly pornographic!  
 
I never understood why people put screws in the front baffle anyways. But seeing them in your piece of beauty made me cry a little.

Re: SLA ht build
Well I thought I was one of those freaks that preferred the screws in the front, But turns out I don't like them either. I am going to look for smaller screw heads so they are not as noticeable.Bas Gooiker wrote:Your cabs look nearly pornographic!![]()

Re: SLA ht build
So after waiting patiently for the speakers to arrive they do and I am stoked to get one put together. So I set them in place to make sure they fit nice, and then i leave the room for a short second. When I return I see my son pushing and making dents in each. He ended up doing this to 3 speakers is there a simple way to pop the dent back out? I sure hope so.

Re: SLA ht build
Sure, you can easily pop them back out if you use a piece of cardboard roll and your vacuum cleaner and gently suck them back into shapelancemhorsley wrote:So after waiting patiently for the speakers to arrive they do and I am stoked to get one put together.

Re: SLA ht build
I used some semi sticky stuff....like rope caulk. It was the stuff PE sells for speaker gasketing. I wouls suppose tape un adhesived a bit (stick it to your shirt a couple times first) or one of those stretchy slap hand toys would work too.
