Alon II Mark II

OMG, PLEASE do NOT do that to those wonderful speakers. Please, others, chime in. That's a hideous act. Alon/Nola speakers (are any well designed speakers?) are not designed to work inside a cabinet. The open baffle design requires open space, preferably several feet of open space behind them to attain proper soundstaging. Do contact Carl Marchisotto first before hacking these speakers and get his thoughts. If fitting speakers into an existing cabinet is a must, then consider selling the Alon II's to Alon/Nola fans and purchase any, ANY, speaker from Goodwill and shove them in there. This harsh comment is meant to say that anytime you shove a speaker into a cabinet, the intention of the original design is gone, and the subsequent sound is mediocre at best. Don't do it, please.

It's not clear what you plan on doing, but I agree with Btaudio. Alon's need room to breath. The other thing to consider is resale value. Hacked up equipment is worth a lot less and it's harder to sell.

Gotta agree with the above posts, though I'm not sure what you're doing to the cabinet of the speakers. The enclosure (or, in the case of the Alons, the lack of an enclosure) is an integral part of the design, and changing that, or enclosing it in another cabinet, essentially wrecks the speakers and all that they do so well.
