I'll look into that option, especially for the pieces I wish to paint black.
We received the Super V kit yesterday.
Incredibly, non of the boxes were destroyed. The only issue centered on one of the subs (haven't unpacked them all yet). The binding posts had come off and the associated parts were floating around the box. It looks like I'm short one little plastic thingy (grommet). You can see one of the remaining 3 on the table next to the sub. I'll perform one more search this morning.
I'm guessing the crossovers are built on one of the wooden parts
If you look closely, you'll see the jupiter caps. It's funny how little I know about these speakers. I wondered from all the pics I've seen, where the tweeters are located. On the reverse side of the sub, there's a driver. Looks like a mid, maybe a tweet, maybe a wide range driver. Guessing both as I don't see any tweeters in the kit.
I've always wanted to build my own speakers. I'm a big believer in quality signal transfer and the effects wire have over sound. I cannot afford the high dollar interconnects so I've built many a cable using some recipes from the web. I've got a pretty decent pack of Magic Link II's to compare my home brews with.
I know Danny uses some pretty good wire in his kit. At some point I wouldn't mind trying some gold over silver solid core with only a cotton sleeve. I found the wire in
can't remember, need more coffee, small Asian country (tough getting old).
Dad is really excited to get rolling on this build. He bugged me all last evening to get started but with Jr, company and needing to cook dinner, and, a lot of music playing on my second system (Montrose, Shiny Toy Guns, Porcupine Tree, Pat Matheny, Al Dimeola, Annie Lennox, Sia, B-Tribe) I couldn't get going.
Off to pick up some screws and a countersink.
