CustomAudioTechnology 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Website should be finished within the next week guys, I look forward to it's launch.Thank you guys for all the interest in this thread. As time goes on I hope to expand the business.I figure it's a good time to explain how I want to get started here.Ok, now I understand that buying subwoofers can be a pretty easy process. A lot of people have them and like to write reviews, take pictures, talk about customers service and so on. With a review it gives people an idea of what they are getting into. With that said I'm going to need some people to review the speakers I build. I'm always willing to give my input, but an unbiased opinion is always better.Ok, so here's the deal.I'm going to be building a couple of different prototypes, and this current build is one of them.The next build will be a 3-way, I believe, utilizing a Dayton DA-175 midbass, Aura 2" Whisper, and Dayton ND20FB up top.I also have a set of Adire SF-7's I may swap the Daytons with, but currently I haven't gone much into the design phase of it.I will also build a higher end set using the Vifa XT large format tweeters, and either Peerless Exclusive mids, or Seas CA18RLY/RNX.I will demonstrate different build techniques and finishing styles on each set.Now I need some knowledgeable members that will write reviews.Basically I will ship out a set of speakers to a given member, let them audition them for 2 weeks or so, and all I ask is an in-depth review.If you are interested in participating please PM me, or email me here.Thank you so muchCT 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CustomAudioTechnology 0 Posted April 16, 2007 My cam batteries died, so I only got one shot of them today.I should have more pics in the next couple of days. I have a process I'm going to take to get them to really shine, right now this is just with 2 coats of paint.Read the post above this one also, if you get a chance.CT 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you can't see it in the pictures well, but in person you can still see the woodgrain, which I think is desireable.Let me know what you guys think.CT 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
