Zaph's 'all metal system' questions - Page 2

I built 5 L18 last year to go with my new 7.1 receiver.

Great project, like them a lot. I have no carpentry skills but managed to finish them with veneer. Look ok, they are my 4 foot speakers, from at least 4 feet they look great.

I had a pair of 30 year old speakers, 2 feet tall with 10" woofers and tweets in them. Set the 2 front L18's on them, disconnected the tweets and used the back 2 receiver channels to drive them as subs.

I'll probably replace these "sub" drivers with either real subs, maybe daytons, or maybe L26's.

In any case, with these make shift subs, movie watching is a whole new experience. Music, depends upon what I'm listening too, but I find I leave these "subs" on all the time.

Good luck with your project.
