Lol! Sorry... but it's worth it (easy for me to say)! I just went through your pics again. Holy ****, you pretty much gutted it and made exactly what you wanted out the of the shell!

Edit: I moved this post to your thread

Id like to asap but I can't find any in tn. Are they really worth it?

Makes the midrange and top end better, even with the stock kegger.

You could make your own 50mm instead of a 52 tho. Best case scenario that's what I'll be doing.
