My Khanspire build

[NJW56]

Started this build during the winter. Finished them the end of March except for the paint. Doing the finished painting on them now. I have listened to them for a couple of months now and am very happy with the speakers. Thought I would share some of the build pictures with everyone. Will be adding more pictures if anyone is interested.

A few more pics. If any Canadian's are interested, I ordered all the speakers and crossover parts from Solen's, here in Canada.

The number of Canadians that build speakers always surprises me. There are quite a few of you.

If you quote Madisound prices they won't match but you can get 10% of your whole order and that can be worth it in saving shipping.

Don't worry we are well on our (USA) way to be taxed to death.... How do you like your government health care?
