Hello all, I know we have all seen the builds for these amazing MTM setups so I will not go too crazy with it. Just wanted to post some pics and some thoughts of the final product. I re-did the center channel and added 2 additional for front mains. I wasn't completely happy with the outcome of the original center channel. I did a 5/8" round-over all over and it just didn't look right. So on these ones I only did the round over on the front face. I also finished that one with Duratex and on these ones I wanted to do more of a painted finish, which meant I had to do a better job of priming and sanding. I decided to use Bondo instead of wood filler. PLEASE if you decide to use Bondo, make sure you know what you are doing and read directions. I thought I knew what I was doing but ran out of time and let it sit curing for a week while life took over and it was incredibly hard to remove. Had to bring out the belt sander. Went with 2 coats of Kilz primer with 300 grit sanding in between coats. Then 2 coats of Valspar Satin Black from Lowes. Let it dry for about 3 days in the garage, its been in the low 30's here so it took longer than normal to dry. As I have mentioned before I am not a fan of the purple cones on the mids so they have been painted flat black. Another hint, if you decide to try these, I suggest paying the extra money and getting the crossovers build already. The build quality is amazing and its nice to be ready to go. Enjoy the pics.
