[QUOTE="King_Julian_S, post: 848776, member: 14111"] I still agree with G. Re engineer with caution.!!!! (Assuming these were build by Daan) That bitumen has nothing to do with covering holes cut badly etc .. you will quickly see that the holes was cut perfect when you open them... it is to completely seal the unit , (mine although not all the same) is completely sealed using this bitumen ... all along the inside joints and even where the cable enters the box .. it is to ensure no air escapes the box.. Mine also has the real acoustic wool stuffing inside not aerolite .. Play the speaker and if you re-engineer you can quickly see if you going backwards or forwards.. Everything I tried with my Daans to try make them look ?more modern? was a step back ,, luckily all easily reversed and realized quickly just how good it was designed and made... Like I said they match extremely well for my tastes with the AU111.. so perhaps amps along those lines(push pull with decent power etc ) will be something to try. Even though we are talking different speakers and config , but since it was all done by the same guy, I guess he would be faithful to ?his sound signature? to some degree... [/QUOTE]
