Haha that picture is pretty damn fine lookin'.
Also Koan's productions all tend to have the same sort of punchy midbass in them, not a bad pair of producers at all. As a related link try this beast on them and see if you can keep time with it...

Looking GREAT, Bob! Once you get them installed in their final positions and get the system tuned, all doubt will be erased from the doubters' minds very quickly. Fantastic work you've done on those cabs!

Thanks 88! I downloaded a few of his tracks last night but when I got to the shop today my DriveRack 260 shit the bed

Probably a good thing though, I need to get back to work and stop playing with these dam things..

Thanks buddy.. I really want to take their breathe away on the first demo.. I was going to have them come by and set up the mixer and CDJ's and give it a test run from a cleaner source than my Iphone, but my driveRack died on me today. So I got back to work instead and got the grills installed..
I'm not sure if I'm going to install a strip of steal along the cut edge of not?? What do you guys think?

You should become an authorized builder, seriously. That curved look is SOOOO DAMN SEXY. Caps required.
Moving on: That's why you buy a dcx 2496, for when the driverack dies on you. Teasing of course.
Those have got to be the prettiest DR's I've ever seen (just need some deep purple paint on the grills

)

Bob, I can point you towards a couple used DR260s for around 450, but maybe you want to go new.

Did it just lose the display? Or, did it stop working altogether?

A million thank you's my friend!! After I'm done with these two clubs I'd love to build speakers and I will talk to Bill and see what the requirements are. I love doing this that's for sure.
Should I seriously consider the DCX2496?

The Display just lights up but no text shows.. It doesn't work either.. Its done it to me a few times and I just unplugged it for a few hours and it started working again..

The DRPAs have ribbon connectors in 'em. Take it apart, pull the connectors and clean all of them with a Q-tip and some denatured alcohol. Or, you can use a clean pencil eraser. Then shoot 'em with some DeOxit 5 and put 'em back together.
The band I run sound for picked one up for next to nothing because the display didn't work all the time. Did the above fix and it has worked perfect ever since.
You might have a bigger problem, but doing what I described can't hurt it in any way.
