Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?

i'm also interested in the specifics of this inexpensive OB project (e.g., exactly where in the baffle is the driver mounted etc.). one wonders how to make such a thing more aesthetically acceptable--maybe triangular MDF braces along the sides for support/stability and the proper angle, sanded and painted an unobtrusive chick-friendly pastel, along with some type of removable (? magnetic) grill? certainly a challenge.

Musicdoc,

I see that litekeys has posted his upgrade kit to the Presidians on ebay for $27.50. He says he may not make many of them because of the expense and labor involved so if you're interested you might want to jump on them, do a search on his user name, 'litekeys' or on 'Presidian.'

Thanks for the heads up - just bought them. I'd assume he'll post another set soon.

Now wondering if I should have waited for a litekeys upgrade2.0 - which would undoubtedly convert these into a line-array 3-way design with the addition of two more pairs of Presidians! :)

Opalchip, please let us know what kind of difference the upgrade makes. I was on the verge of buying the kit myself but in a rare moment of self-restraint I backed off, remembering how many pair of speakers I already have littering my basement. I did order one of the kits for the Minimus 7, though.
