Again, big thanks to @dkfreebird for dropping these off. I've looked for ages for another set to build. I'll post everything that I do to these here. Will work on these over the summer. Thoroughly listened to them bone-stock last weekend. Goal is to get them sounding as dynamic as the SDA-converted RTA-8TLs, yet WAF friendly.

First question for the hive is what speaker grill cloth is best for sound transparency in white?
I'm going to strip and shoot the cabs white with all 100% machined brass parts and fasteners.
Thanks as always.

Already started the grill frame update...

    1.25" solid oak dowel
    cross-cut 8 3/16" offset either side puts it angled and centered between front and back weak points...

    This clears all drivers and factory crossover.
    Reason why I cannot use the larger point to point board....

    Yes, the inductor fits where the old crossover fit

    Very nice. I'll machine an adapter that mounts the Erse Super Q/factory X-over in factory location as well, mounting with 1 bolt. All other hardware will be machined solid brass, including the terminal plates, tweeter plates, and custom grill pegs.
