Well got home today from work and got the bad news. Apparently my 2 yr. old son knocked over the Left LSI. The cabinet is cracked. My older son knocked over the Right one about a year ago. I had installed guy wired to help secure the speakers but I guess it wasn't enough. Thankfully no one was injured. I need to contact Ken S. for a replacement cabinet. Look like these speakers will be going to the bedroom. Might get some RadioShack mach 1's for the living room, much more stable, just kidding!. Ken I forgot your number.

Thanks Jockos

    Contacted Ken and they do have the cabinet in stock. However funds are tight right now so I'm going to seal up the cracks on the inside of the cabinet with hot glue. I was reading the posts that frys only had left speakers for $300. Unfortunately I don't see that deal on their website anymore.

    Thanks Jockos

    Frys they only have them in store now. Which state are you in? Maybe that might help narrow down if they have inventory.
    I think they still have one in my state.

    You might want to look into Gorilla Glue to seal those! I had to install bi-folds to keep my kids out of the listening room when they were younger. You are VERY lucky nobody was hurt! Good luck fixing these!

    I live in Hawaii so we have no Fry's. Most of the cracks were around the bottom of the 5 1/4 driver. I took off the driver and used hot glue on the cracks. The cracks were around 3 of the screw holes. There is also a few cracks on the top left corner but upon inspection theres a healthy dose of glue on the joints. The black vinyl finished cracked with what appears to a trim piece on the front baffle but does not seem to extend to the inside mdf. I'm thinking that theres not much air pressure inside the top part of the enclosure especially since its ported. I'll be working on creating some new stands to to help stabilize any side to side motion. Thank god the kids weren't hurt.

    Thanks for the support
