SDA CRS+ With an External Crossover Twist.... :-)

Well I decided to pull out my CRS+'s and finally put in the Jantzen Inductors, and the 16mh Solen Inductor.. The Jantzen's I have had for 2+ years.. 
Well I have decided to build a new set of stands that will house the crossovers, 16mh inductor, as well as the binding post cup.
I will use the Neutriks to connect them together..
Why am I doing this? ah because I have the means to do so, and it should be a fun project, also I have been wanting to build a set with external crossovers..
I'm thinking the stands will be built out of steel, and the case to house the crossovers will be aluminum lined with dynamat, but will bolt to the stand, this should free up the air space in the cabinet.
I'm not really expecting anything out of this, if there is an improvement, Great!! if not, no big deal, it will still be a fun project...
I will update as I go!!!

I actually thought about that but using acrylic..

I'm not sure how hot these resistors get, but be careful close to polycarbonate as it will sweat Bis-A and leak on your electronics.
I am also making new Binding Post plates, and Brass Spikes..
This stuff adds up fast when you go to ordering it..
I would really like to have the veneer re-done on the cabinets while i have them apart, I just don't know where to go to have it done..
So I want to do a left and right layout, anyone see this being an issue? I'm actually thinking about putting a wall between the 16MH and the crossover board, not sure if it's necessary just came to mind, keeping them separated..
Are you planning on laying them flat or stacking them vertical like amp boards in a single enclosure or each crossover in its own enclosure.
I saw a skiing ninja modification of a X-static speaker that put the crossover on top of the enclosure but had ball bearings pass the signal through the enclosure and it was pretty bada$$ looking.
They won't be laying flat, they will be mounted at a 45 deg angle in the case, because of the way the case will be designed to look good and fit the design of the stands..
Awesome man. I'm sure they will look great. Anything you touch turns to gold.

I agree, that's the only thing I don't like about the Dueland Resistors, but I will probably just leave it, it's been that way for a few years now..
