    I have a question about these crossovers, but I don't want to cluster up this thread. PM sent.

    i know right!

    Whats interesting is there is a solid cinder block wall that runs about 75% into the living room and it removes ALOT of the vibration that the rest of the house sees.

    Thank you. Never heard a modded speaker that didn't sound drastically different than the stock one.

    Excellent deal awesome speakers for that price.

    Makes me wonder if I have the only pair of @VR3 modded crossover 703's in existence.

    I will never do another internal mod on them again so..... yes! :p

    Internal mods on the 703 are near impossible. It is much better to go external, which unfortunately is much more expensive.

    All of the lsim stores is much harder to mod with the split board design. You would have to completely rewire every speaker to mod them.

    I have a stock versus mod video on Facebook of the 703, the difference was night and day.

    Hi VR3!

    I’ve been aware that your mods existed for years but I’m am just recently getting into the LSi series and quickly joined this website when I received the first 3 LSi speakers. Are these crossovers still available?
