    Almost there. Soldered the wiring together today. Tried using my 30w solder to heat up the binding posts but it was a no go. I do have time, Trey is is building the crossovers and the inductors are about six weeks out.

    LOL, like all things in my life there never really is an end. If it isn't my J.E.E.P. (Just Empty Every Pocket), motorcycles, computers etc. The perfect anything is always one step ahead. Still fun chasing thou....

    DONE! Finally had time to finish the soldering. I have been running cat 6 the past two days throughout the home. Pretty much walking away from wireless for an entire media server.

    The 100watt gun made quick time of this. Thx guys for your info.
