How are you guys securing those boards in the bottom of the cabinets?

My decision was not terribly technical. The VCAP was small and it received great deal of positive/great reviews across several forums. As a first timer, it's my hope that I made an informed decision.

I am about to find out very soon.
Don’t worry, you made a perfect decision. I’ve had the stock setup, Copper caps, now VCAPs in my Studios. The VCAPs are the best to me. There are probably a couple copper cap brands out there that are just as good like the Duelunds, but the price goes up exponentially with size due to the huge amount of copper needed. Also the large size of those caps will take up too much cubic space in the enclosure and affect the frequency response of the speaker.

This morning, before anything else, I had to fit the the drivers.









I am very happy with the visual appearance of these bad boys.

Next up, installing and wiring the crossovers.

The Studios are worthy of such a finish. Great job!

Definitely makes me wish I would have spent more time on the finish as I was wanting to see how they sounded and so hurried a bit.

Am I seeing weird shading in your picture or do you have yarn in every hole of the tweeter?

I use screws with hard rubber washers under the board. I drill pilot holes through the board where I want the screws to go. Then I super glue hard rubber washers that in get in the plumbing repair isle to the underside of the board where the screw holes are using super glue gel. I also glue additional washers under the board if needed for support.

I like Spax screws since they cut their own pilot hole. A flex shaft screwdriver is handy when installing the crossovers.
