    Hey, what a great thread!

    Yeah, I know. Kinda late to the game, but I just acquired an original pair of SDA SRS speakers. Build date of 1986. In the process of rebuilding the crossovers. Working through all of DarqueKnight's incredible posts.

    Wanted to take the wood off, strip it, and dye it black. Looks like more work than I want to take on just now, despite the fact that I'm an accomplished woodworker.

    Speaking of which, anyone reading this thread and thinking about using exotic hardwoods, please use caution! The dust is ultra-fine and some species can be quite toxic. You may not feel it immediately, but it can settle into your lungs and be incredibly invasive.

    Also, some woods are oily, and plain old yellow glue won't cut it for the long term. My suggestion is to go online and do some research. There's tons of advice out there.

    Love this forum!

    Welcome to the forum. A few of us have refinished the wood trim on our SDA's. Lasareath's discussed his work in this thread and on his website.

    I replaced the wood trim on my SRS's and 1.2TL's with tiger maple:

    Janne refinished the wood trim on his 1.2TL's with gloss black:

    The top and bottom end caps are easily removed after accessing the retaining nuts by removing the top two drivers and passive radiator.

    Once again, DarqueKnight, I have found in one of your posts information I've been looking for: What do I need to do the tighten up the bottom end cap on my SRSs.

    Thanks.
