Old? I've got hemorrhoids that are older than you are!

LOL Well I hope they don't hurt as bad as this 25 year old injury!

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.

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.

Are you screwing with me Ian? Just because i feel those screws screw up the baffle?

Personally I hate seeing screws... and I'm sure he's not done yet... and this is a fantastic build. Kudos to the OP.

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.

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.

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 shape

I had that happen and I just used my mouth to pop them back out.

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.

Those are spectacular. Utterly.

Thanks electrical tape worked great!

Thank you, The crossovers arrived and they look great!

So I have finally completed one! But have yet to hear It, I still need to purchase a AVR, hopefully I can get one here soon.

I would love to hear a comparison between the SLA's and the H80m's. My friend has the yamahas and I'm building TLAH's .
