the orange piece is part of the left over sticky back tape
the grill looks almost 50%, and you need to be more than 50% transparency for sound to travel through it, and as you can see, there is foam behind that also
 
I've had a close up of all this kit, and trust me, the build quality is spot on
 
and only from the badge and the terrible sound, you know it's not genuin

Mykey,

i am seriously considering a purchase of 8-12 of their W8C boxes.
Do you think that with a better EQ/processing they can sound better?

I was doing the math that if i had to change all the drivers it wouldn't cost me more than 700-800 EUR per box total.

That is as far as i am concerned a very good solution for getting a good line array system.

Don't you mean W8L/W8LC/etc?

W8C is a horn loaded trap mid top.

if you changed the drivers and badge, you would save a fortune, and nobody would know the difference

Classic Engrish! Love it!

"...which make the whole system outstanding with wide frequency response,long distance spread,strong passing tweeter,powerful woofer and big coverage."

Yes please! Seriously. Can these boys not even afford a TEFL worker? Nuff of my mates went and did that in China.

Bespoke, try n imagine an unhappy bloke sat in a factory with a phrase book open looking for the section entitled "Loudspeaker Design" and not having much luck :)
