There's not quite, but just enough room for this arrangement, once l grind the frames partially or off completely. Am l asking for trouble this way?

Like others said you did an excellent job on adding those to the existing cabinet.
I had to look twice just to see if it was a photoshopped layout.

The top two are 21 gauge, and the bottom one is 18 gauge (I looked up the part numbers).

Roger, who knows what went on there, thanks Tom.

Cheers Grant!

I'll hope for fitting the filter & having a listen during the week, out of free time for this weekend..

Sounds great man! I feel the Jaycar filter components must've been average, anything I've refitted with Jantzen has always been noticeably better SQ. Also one thing l noticed mucking around with this cab is the adhesive has bulged a little under the paint, which is annoying. I think it was a "Soudal" branded one a house builder suggested.
There's only one problem, now this Curvearray doesn't match the TLAHs, good enough reason to build a 9x...
