    ah... I thought you had made a recess in the bottom (still solid) you would need holes to route wires. I Couldn't tell it went through and there was a lip.

    I was thinking a recess wouldn't be bad... it would keep some more weight in the pommel.

    Thats what I had in mind madcow. I have done similar setups just not with c-clips. I probably wont make it so the speaker is held in place like that though. For you it works but for a screw on pommel you have to deal with the wire twisting issues. I will probably go with the speaker mount that is held in place by the pommel similar to the led heatsink and then the different pommel end pieces held in place by c-clip. I might even look into having that speaker mount possibly attaching to the 4aaa battery pack for a more custom look.

    How about a speaker holder piece that runs double-male with the speaker inside and held down by a c-spring, that you can screw on a pommel top on one end and into the hilt on the other? That would let you straighten your wires out and get your speaker locked down before applying the pommel piece.

    I know old

    But I was wandering what all was in the works.

    As soon as I get the cash to finish this one, I need to have the pommel I do have machined.

    Tim any ideas in the future for this MPS(modular pommel system)?

    I know the wire twisting issue is a problem, but say have the speaker mounted to a heat sink type disk, then whatever holds it in like the rest of the mhs then the pommel is machined for the sound to escape and no wire twisting problems.
