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

| 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. |

7 or 8 speakers, 5 coats with one can? That is a lot. ------------- Marjan Milosevic MM-Acoustics www.mm-acoustics.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/MM-Acoustics/608901282527713 |

| 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? ------------- Marjan Milosevic MM-Acoustics www.mm-acoustics.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/MM-Acoustics/608901282527713 |

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?

| 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. |
