    Still beautiful workmanship Jesse, I'm not sure how you felt after spending a couple of days putting together the crossovers. I know when I got mine back from VR3 I was thinking these look stunning and then having to install them was a tad disappointing. On the plus side the improvement in sound is stellar well was the money and / work involved.

    Cheers

    Yeah, it is kind of a shame they are hidden, but I know what they look like. On the other hand and like you said, it's the improved sound that matters.

    Too bad they are stuffed inside the speaker.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Nice work Jesse, well laid out.
