Congratulations! Thank you for purchasing our professionally engineered speaker kit designed
for maximum acoustic performance and accuracy. All the assemblies of this kit have passed our
quality control program to ensure your Make Audio speaker kit build will be successful!

All parts required to assemble this kit are included. The only tool you require for assembly is a
Philips screwdriver.

IMPORTANT: Excessive paint buildup /thickness can prevent installation of the transducers into
the precision CNC machined front baffle. We suggested limiting the paint in the transducer
mortises (recesses or areas machined to clear the flange of the transducer) to one thin coat.
