Laser cut delrin substrates
Custom component rings
Stainless hardware
Back pack build
Having a custom brscket made that mounts to the bottom of the speaker snd this will then bolt on to the bracket.

It's good to be on team Trey! I'm happy to be his guinea pig
The only shame is that these works of art will be out-of-sight on the back, but at least folks will be able to HEAR the artistry.

Expanded my aresenal of resistor mounts
- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Resistor mounts?

Yes you can see them in use on the original pictures, they clip on to the board via friction and the resistors slide right in, keeps them off the board, plenty of breathing room all the way around- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

The bottom of these speakers unbolts, so this is the mounting plate bolted to the bottom of the speaker.
I plan to add some padding between the crossover and the bracket and the bracket and the speaker. This is just to show it mounted

Im using a glowforge plus which is as powerful as the pro but is not cooled to where you can run it all day.
Still incredibly light duty for a laser at $4k but it gives me some creative freedoms that would be impossible if I had to outsource said fabrication.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

We're getting a bit tired of "hibernating," but we are fortunate to live in an area where we can get out for reasonably long walks from time to time. We hope for a mild winter! My age and medical conditions make me reluctant to get out where there are likely to be many people.
