Just finished re-wiring one of my cube tweeters. Will do the other one tomorrow. This week will hopefully yield an external crossover box.

I want these up and running soon, I miss their sound.

Without pics it didn't happen😜

Where are the pics Evan? Thought your "self mades" were already finished or did I miss something?

I'm not sure I want to show pics of this! It's a real spaghetti junction in there. 😂

Leslie, they are finished except I decided to re-wire / cross them.

They had a couple problems which prompted this procedure. They didn't have equal output in all the drivers, and one developed a loose solder joint.

I also think my crossover was not the best. I'm going to finally use those caps that Rich sent me, so I can experiment.

Finally had time to finish my 10 glasspanels for the Ouverture/BC2500.

I've let these glaspanels made at the same size and thickness as the original ones with the same dark teint. Made the brackets myself and fixed them on the glaspanels with the proper glue. The right unit on the picture is mine and has chamfered edges. The original on the left has rounded edges. See what the result is and it slides as a whistle👍🙂

Thanks my friend! At least now my 5 units can be completed. Next project I'm working on, finished within two weeks, is the Beogram 6000 acrylic cover with the aluminium strip on top of the lid incl. text. Let's see how that will work out!
