Yes it is. I was trialling different port lengths but the hole in the cabinet is a little bit tight and I haven't had time to lay the speakers flat to enable me push them flush.
Edit: My son has been in the lounge today and I didn't want to bring his attention to the holes. I have a feeling they may become a garage to park his toy cars

It might be a shame to spoil the aesthetics by covering the port opening with a small metal mesh speaker grille, but could be better than the alternative.

I thought about that, but I'll see how we go.
I really do need to fit some grills to drivers, I'm going to be on tender hooks at work tomorrow

Hi
I am currently putting together an audio projects website and I will be featuring my Brines speakers.
I don't have the pictures to hand at the moment but I will post a message on this thread when its up and running.
I hope this helps.
Hi
I am thinking about adding a super tweeter to my speakers but would like to know if you have any suggestions for an enclosure?
Bob has recommended the FT17H. I would like to mount them in a small case on top of the existing speakers if possible.

I don't necessarily need to use the FT17H you have better suggestion.
Thanks

Well, they don't need an enclosure, so you can make a simple box with the same finish as the main enclosure to stick on the top. The FT17 is a nice little unit, good as anything else you'll get for the price & works well with the 167.
Thanks Scott
What would you recommend crossing the tweeter with?
That's one of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions TBH. Depends on what you happen to like; I'd probably cap it off at ~12KHz initially & adjust from there. It shouldn't need any padding, IIRC Bob took some measures a while back & found its sensitivity to be pretty much identical to the 167.

Scott...what value cap would achieve ~12Khz?
Try ~1.5uF. Just get a handful of cheap caps. & see which suits you best. Once you've done that, you can buy something fancier of the appropriate value if you feel the need.
Thanks Scott, that's good advice.
