    I just didn't want them.
    Too expensive?

    About 6x more expensive but not too expensive. It was mainly due to large size of air coils. I'll get them next time.

    Drilled the xover boards:




    And swapped out the active x-overs power supply transformer for a smaller one:





    Keep getting closer to finishing!

    Nice work on the re-edging and crossover. Patience has paid off

    I hate refoaming. It's the second pair of speakers I tackled and it's tricky business requiring plenty of thought through technique impecable precision and a bit of speed too. The glue is always setting too fast and it seems to be never enough (ticking, slap). still came out pretty good anyway. Now I must solder the underside of the crossovers.

    Is that a 9v battery in there?

    Most definitely there is a 9V to be seen on Krunchy's CC crossovers.

    Thanks guys. It has been quite a road so far. Will see if their performance will be on par with the cost. Hope so, since I have a second pair of speakers lined up though partly still in freight. I'd like to thank audiohack1 for hooking me up with a pair of 2307 horns at an unbeatable price. Thanks man! Now I really must get to work this week and finish assembling the networks...
