Sorry it took so long to reply, been super busy. Here is the only picture I took after I wrapped the vinyl. I have about half of the stuffing installed here. I pulled it around and used staples to make sure it held tight. Probably overkill, but I always tend to do that in my builds. I painted the back black and when installed, it hides the staples, etc...

They look great! So are both the tops and bottoms removable as well? I really want to do a Vinyl build now!!

I finally finished the grills a few days ago. Here are a few more pictures. The grill cloth is black. Not sure why the picture makes it look different.

I have really enjoyed listening to these over the last week. With a sub taking care of the lows, it really does sound good...really good.

Tomorrow, I am giving them away to the HOPE Center for their conference room. They have been using a cheap clock radio and it's time they had something that sounds good. I'm using a small Lepai amp. See the pic below for the little amp mount I made. It has a place in front to hold an iPod.

My next build will be a FH Mk3 using a pair of A7.3's I have here that are ready to go. I'm working with a local shop to CNC cut the cabinets. I'm hoping to be able to offer some flat packs here in the South if things work out. The shop has been really busy with bigger projects, so they have not been able to get to it. If the FH Mk3 sound better than these Pensil's it's going to be awesome.

The top is help on with a few wood screws from the inside. For the bottoms I used small tee nuts I had on had.

Excellent, similar to what I would have done as well. Thanks for the pics and tips!!

Nice work!

Good choice on your next build - FH Mk3 is one nice speaker too.

Very cool. If those are going into a conference room then be prepared to build more just like it. They will be advertising themselves.
