I am 100% certain of what Rubio is capable of, as well as my abilities. Never stated my opinion on what you should use, I merely stated which finishes are appropriate for what based on experience; and why I chose what I used. Don't take my word on it, research it for yourself. There are hundreds if not thousands of YT vids on it. What you use is all on you.

Top to bottom: black walnut, burl/curly/ambrosia maple, spalted maple, red oak and black walnut. All cut and milled on the farm where my shop is. All are finished with Rubio Pure (no pigment/tint). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneair Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Crossovers finished and installed, new Ti domes installed, frequency response original and new. The audible difference is night and day. Credit to Crites for inspiration for my first go at a project like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Just saw this thread. Nice work. Almost brought a tear of compassion to my eye when I read these were your Father in Laws and you were doing this for your bride! Well done. That said.... I'm thinking of a project. I'll create a new post..... be interested in your thoughts (as well as any others who make sawdust without being a termite) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
