OMG, PLEASE do NOT do that to those wonderful speakers. Please, others, chime in. That's a hideous act. Alon/Nola speakers (are any well designed speakers?) are not designed to work inside a cabinet. The open baffle design requires open space, preferably several feet of open space behind them to attain proper soundstaging. Do contact Carl Marchisotto first before hacking these speakers and get his thoughts. If fitting speakers into an existing cabinet is a must, then consider selling the Alon II's to Alon/Nola fans and purchase any, ANY, speaker from Goodwill and shove them in there. This harsh comment is meant to say that anytime you shove a speaker into a cabinet, the intention of the original design is gone, and the subsequent sound is mediocre at best. Don't do it, please.

Good evening / Im thinking of shortning my alons to fit a cabinet set up in my liv room.Does anyone know if the speaker post are glued and can they be heated up so i can remove the 4 corners so i can shorten the speaker and do you think it will change the sound that much of the speaker
