    Yeah 1800 miles in 3 days for my SDA SRS 1.2TL's. Worth every mile I might add. Seat time gets you some good scenery too!

    Some friends of mine own a restaurant, Johnson's, in Northwood...bought it five or six years ago...

    Know it well, about 8 miles away at the other end of town from me. Excellent ice cream, quality food. Across the road from Johnson's is the granite / stone place from whom I get all my free pieces that I use for isolation, etc. Small world. ;)

    I did my run for the 1.2 TLs with my son too. It was very enjoyable spending all that time as we don't get to spend much time together since he's become an adult.

    You should seriously consider upgrading your crossovers. It make such a huge improvement is overall sound, tone and bass response.

    I will definitely do the crossovers or look to have them done. I haven't done any serious soldering in a long time. I do have the compendium II and I will tackle it some time this spring. Tweeters will be done soon though.

    When you are ready give me a holler, I have detailed pics of when I did mine and I'll be glad to help you out.

    It really is very easy. I hadn't done any soldering in years. The biggest problem is getting over the fear of doing it or effing it up. Once you beat that it's a breeeeeeeeze

    I am definitely in the don't want to eff it up club. I think that the biggest concern about it is if I screw it up can I at least put it back the way it was or is it possible to buy a replacement circuit board and start from scratch. Or am I simply making mountains out of molehills? I really appreciate your offer of help and I will definitely contact you.

    Conquer your fear of effing it up. It really is not that big a deal. A little planning and patience plus the pics I have will get you through the planning part.

    Not to mention the dozens of guys here who have done up their crossovers. All you have to do is ask a question before moving on to the next step.

    PS: when you're ready PM me and I'll send back my phone number.
