Dear fellow PakWheelers,

A o A,

I feel pleasure for being a humble participant of this website, which actually improv and chang my lifestyle.

I must say many many thanks to the founders and all the kind members of this website.

My hobby is to repair different stuff.

Here is my project repairing technically and improving cosmetically the infinity kappa 8 speakers.

This is my first D.I.Y. experience with a pair of speakers.

Completed this project 2 months back and been enjoying these speakers since. Apologies for not posting pictures on regular basis because of my busy schedule. Suggestions for further improvements are most welcome.
