This is a "first", a "Fortress" round plate series - tricky way to mount it for sure!

Thank you!
Nope...
We mounted the old terminal on the inside, threaded rod to the outside and attached the aluminum plate via acorn nuts...- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Nice aluminum plate.Do you by chance have square alum plates that would fit the standard plastic dual terminal plate opening(ie LSi 9)?

Yes sir - here they are for a LSi9 modification

have you done any 5JR+? curious about what mods are available and costs, i know little to none about what actually goes into modding them, i do want new caps and modern terminations though, cardas ccrr is what im leaning towards. new wiring is a thought as well. i havent heard them yet, found a good deal and had my dad grab em for me. i can email you if you would like, and we ca discuss different options, orif you have different mod "packages" available already, i would love to know what they are.2 Channel(work in progress):DAC: Schiit modi 2 uberAmp:Parasound 1200 MK IISub:RBH 1010-SEP Speakers: Monitor 5A peerlesscurrently running some krk rokit 3g since the HK pre outs died and i need to start breaking everything down to move in a couple monthsHeadphones:Source: tidalDAC: schiit modius epre: schiit sysAmp: AQ dragonfly black/ schiit magni2 Cans: Velodyne V-True, Grado SR225i, sennheiser x drop gaming headsetPC:DAC: schiit modius e(over spdif)pre: schiit sysspeakers: prenous eris 5 xtSub: Earthquake Sound MiniMe-P63most of my comments are passing on of info, im a noob, im just trying to help how i can, if im wrong or out of place to comment, dont hesitate to let me know"WITH WILLING HEARTS AND SKILLFUL HANDS, THE DIFFICULT WE DO AT ONCE, THE IMPOSSIBLE TAKES A BIT LONGER, WITH COMPASSION FOR OTHERS.
