Friends,

Looks like there's been quite a bit of interest in DIY finishing of our products.  Well...ask any speaker manufacturer - nobody really likes finishing to begin with.  That goes double for us.  It eats up a ton of time and slows down production because of handling issues and such.  One little "bump" can really ruin your whole day!!!

But...we like to build the boxes.  With our big-ass SCMI - CNC milling/boring center, we can crank out the parts pretty quick.  Assembly still takes quite a bit of time due to the constrained-layer damping and internal chambering, and building/testing/tweaking crossovers is a major time hog.  Then the parts add up to quite a bit of cost - especially due to the complexity of the crossover, but...NOTHING'S WORSE THAN FINISHING!

So for the twisted individuals that actually enjoy the task (OK, it is a lot more fun when you can go slow and time does not = $$$) - we've got a deal for you!  Finish 'em yourselves and have fun!  You can save some $$$ in the process as well.  In fact, if you have the skills or know a friend that does, you can finish them in any exotic veneer you want or whatever and really save some dough - and have them exactly the way you want them.

OK...so here's the prices.  We're talking the full MSRP here, so these prices do not reflect any dealer or other discounts.  No grills are included and all included upgrades (if any) are listed below as well.  Otherwise, all upgrades (if applicable) remain at standard pricing.  Also, these systems will all be tested and ready to go should you decide to delay the finishing for whatever reason (if it were me, the word "laziness" comes to mind).

Have fun,
