Geez.I bought a set of nice RTA 12B's a few weeks ago and i'm trying to put Larry's rings in them.I have NEVER seen so much glue in all my life!
I wonder how many horses gave up their lives for these beauties.
Solid light colored wood cabbies too with molding glued to the inside of the frame.
And the braces inside are made of the mdf side panels with red veneer on them.Talk about using all the scrap pieces.
They sounded phenomenal stock.Can't wait to here them modded.If i get thru all of the glue that is.

    I found alot of glue in mine too. I removed what I needed to with a utility knife and needle nose pliers.

    Depending on what mods you do (I'm presuming xovers) you'll be amazed at how good they can sound.
