Long story short, the deal fell through on the EV xi1183A's that I was considering But, I stumbled on a deal for 4x SLS960's and 2x SBS25's. It was too good to pass up, and now I'm the proud owner of that system. They were from a church install, which is great, but poses 2 issues:

1- They're white.

2- They don't have handles.

#1 is easy to solve- gut the boxes, sand down them down and paint them black. #2 is a bit more challenging. Community doesn't list handle dimensions or placement. If someone could tell me where they are located on the boxes(depth from front and top) and what size handles they use, I'd be greatly happy.

Also, since I've got a pretty blank slate, I'm considering putting 2 handles on each side of the SLS960's for easier lifting. I know the RS660 had them, but is there room on the 960 for side by side handles? Or does the horn flare interfere? Option 2 is placing 2 handles one above the other, but I don't know if there is any cabinet bracing in the way. Comments? Thoughts?



Thanks!
Evan

I can get you the handle measurements when I head to the shop this afternoon. I don't see there being enough room for side by side handles with the horn flare the way it is in there.

The handles Community uses are 6 3/8" x 8 5/8". They are located 5" from the rear of the box and 8 1/2" from the top of the box. They are located at the center of gravity.
