Excellent progress! The light at the end of the tunnel is in view, and love the amp!Well, I got the grills about ready for new fabric. I rebuilt all of the damaged corners using Bondo wood filler which worked very well. Painted them flat black and now I just need to get working on the fabric.

Bad pic, but here's the finished product.

Also, I didn't mention it here (started a thread in the SS forum), but I picked up a new amp for these guys. The sound is just sublime!

Thanks!Well done!
Thanks! Yes, they are sitting on risers. They're just about 3/4" shorter than the factory ones and, once pressed into the carpet by the weight of the speakers, it looks almost as if there are no risers at all.Looking great! I must have missed it - no more risers on the carpet?
Outstanding! These are spectacular looking and you should be proud of your accomplishment!
Thanks, Glenn! I'm really pleased with how they turned out.Outstanding! These are spectacular looking and you should be proud of your accomplishment!
Now you can sit back, open a cold one and bask in the sound!

Thanks, Garry! The tape really worked well. I was able to gently set the fabric in place and reposition as needed. It wasn't until I applied direct pressure that it was firmly stuck and, even then, I could pry it up and reposition if needed. The tape also leaves no residue on the fabric.Wonderful thread you created for posterity here Matt. Thank you!!
- What GD70 just said. Outstanding Matt. I am so very glad you kept that fabric my friend. You can clearly see why that was important now. I was considering that tape myself on my project at one time. Now I'm going to let a professional do it. I know my limitations!! (smiling). Just Beautiful. That said, I can't thank you enough for the super quality of pics you took of your frames. It was funny, I was at Home Depot and thought to get that aluminum square bar that I knew they had for my surround build and low and behold, right there in the same bin, was the solid square rod just like in these frames. Too short for your or my Lxx30's but not for my surrounds, and subsequently my center which I've chosen to re-do this summer.
