Let me know each time funds go in so I can keep up to date!

Yeah it's fine, you can use the ridge at the front or grip the 2 side panels but there was nothing at the back to grip unless I put them there. I would've put more on but I didn't want them to be visible in the mouth or to disrupt the signal path so I just left it at that. No doubt when I come to carry them up a narrow staircase I'll wish I'd put more on Big smile

Yeah its a tough one. On the looney bins they put 2 where I've put mine then 2 at the bottom, but you can see them in the back of the mouth. So far those 2 have done me fine, once you've lifted them you can just grab them underneath anyway.

I think I would go with this. About the wheels Wrighty  does it not rattle during the set especially if you laid them side ways?

Nah, they're rattle-free castors. Loads of people use them.

7 or 8 speakers, 5 coats with one can? That is a lot.

No sorry I meant I did 7 or 8 coats on 4 speakers, I used a can and a half. You can probably make do with one can for 4 speakers but I got a much better finish with the extra half can

Did you spray it or roll it?

Oh and another thing. Some folks here say that warnex is falling of the places where you put a nitro filler. Screw holes for example. Is it true?

that's been said about aldcroft...

I was thinking about spraying but the finish was nice enough with rollers so I just stuck with them to save me buying a gun. Haven't had any problems with paint coming off so far, only taken them out once tho so haven't been bashed around very much.
