john toon Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 first off, glad to see the forum back online. I've been wanting to show off my newest project. I was looking for a belle as my center channel between the khorns but couldn't find one for sale anywhere nearby. So I decided to build one. It was a fun project and challenging at times. here are a few pics. I was unable to find a k500 horn to use with the k55v so I ended up building it as well. it turned out really nice and sounds awesome. My dad already ordered two more for his 2ch set up... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
