Nice paint!  That's really quite lovely.  Spray?

I take it you're not going to cut off the dust caps and shim the voice coil when refoaming the woofer.

Hi, Thanks! 

 

I work in a spray shop so I got one of the guys to paint them for me!  

 

I am just going to buy a pair of rings off ebay and glue them on when they arrive.

 

Cheers Nick

Hi Nick

I'm very sorry, but I've changed my mind...could I have the speakers back please.😂

They look great!

Cheers

Nigel

What did you do with the text on the front and the stripes on the sides Nick?

Dear Nigel, dear Nick.

Do not start a fight over a pair of speakers, good freinds are worth a lot more, so I sugest that when you finish the CX 50s, you send them to me, and to show that you are still good freind, you split the shipping cost. 😁😁😁
