Got a pair of XM9's, now its time to paint 'em!

[ian ashton]

I ordered a pair of XM9's from Brian and they arrived last week. As always I am very impressed, they look to be a very nice speaker, and the Quick Release Clamps are KILLER!

At any rate, I have decided that I want to paint them to match my boat, since I don't really have any black on the boat I thought that the standard black can's would look goofy. Plus, I'm all about matching and all that jazz.

So, I started with a fresh shiney pair of Exile XM9's, with Chrome grilles;


Popped the grille off;


Removed the back Exile name plate and found this nifty switch (Note: The switch comes in the 1ohm position, I just played with it before taking this picture)


And for fun, I figured I'd check out the inside of the can;
