I upgraded my speakers with bullet tweeters 10 or 12 years ago and would like to try horns with drivers. Not sure what I am looking for something that will handle the power from the WOPL 400... new or used but don't want to go over about $200.... also thinking about cross overs. Any suggestions??

Yea they look good but I like air to circulate when I crank it up... I don't even put the output covers on. I built a cooling fan set up to use when I crank it up nothing fancy but it works well

Thanks Lee I think joe has light blue LED's as well these are the dark blue I often wonder if it would look better with the light blue, those handles on it are from Perrys first batch. I got the chassis and face plate from Ron wire from Dennis meters from a parts amp I got off ebay and the rest...

Here it is all finished....
