Oh yea I forgot initially was going to try the ALK first before getting yours in Dean. I decided to go all in so yep shootout coming! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I like the look of these. What happens to the color the more coats of linseed oil you apply? Gets darker, more orange, etc?

Measurements on the pair? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I wasn't sure what it was supposed to be. I assumed 8 ohm [emoji854] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

You should be able to google the model number if it isn't on the back. Range should be close. If it's an 8 ohm and read 8.2-7.8 would be a good reading. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Take your meter and turn it to ohms. Put the black lead from the meter on the negative of the speaker and the red on the positive. The reading is what the speakers are measuring. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

This is something I was unaware of. I'll look into it. as much as I want to be a DIY'er of sorts ultimately I only want to have to do the finish once. So with that said I am going to look into both options. Take it to a cabinet maker and have them add the veneer as well as the plastic laminate. The satisfaction of doing it myself would be so rewarding, but taking it to someone for the veneer would feel like a smart investment guaranteeing a successful outcome. I'll post pics for sure when I have made a decision. Thanks to everyone for the tips so far!

Well I may have jumped the gun on buying the crossovers already. I wasn't really thinking active crossovers when I purchased the Cornscalas, but knew I like the ALK crossover. Deposit sent to Al at ALk so no turning back there. Can the CT125 be adjusted in the active crossover to fix its problems? Is that why you say do it first? I have been reading up on the Xilica and it seems like a route I'll look into after the ALK crossovers.

So Veneer make more sense if I am going for a certain look then, or accept the fact that staining them is really going to only do what the wood will allow. Any recommendations on purchasing veneer? Have a place you like to purchase veneer from?

I really like the color of my Focals. I have some stain that almost matches the color. I have decided to go with black on the front of them though. Here is apic of the Focals and a pic with the grills (no cloth) sat on the front lip of the Cornscalas.

I assume these will work fine? We have some that are discolored and have been replaced at work. If these will work do I just cover the insides of each box completely?

Would it hurt anything to give the staining a go and then veneer over if it looks horrible?

Anyone have a prefered place to buy the 120, or is there a better option before I purchase the 120 that someone might suggest?

Yes unfinished Birch. I'll be honest I have zero experience in veneer or staining. The last thing I want to do is mess them up. I might take them to someone to do the finish. Talking active crossovers--- Is the Xilica the way to go to tri amp these, or is there a more affordable route you can go?

How do you like the change from ct125 and original horn? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Will do! Would love to see pics of yours as I still haven't decided on stain or veneer. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Anything special for the internal damping? Dynamat or just some of the cheaper foam panels like these:

Good Idea. I do need to add the internal bracing. ALK crossovers are ordered. What about adding something to help with standing waves inside the box? Any benefit to that, or a waste of time since the box is ported?
