This was a great project for my 10 year old. It definately required some adult help. Would recommend using glue to finish it off as it is not a sturdy as I thought it would be. But overall- nice product!!

All parts showed up as ordered and on time.  Product is good and I think it is a good value to get all the parts and the winding bars.  All the delivery and product features actually get 5 stars.  The real test will be the long-term product quality and to see if they last the 10,000 cycles, as the other spring was on there for 22 years before it broke.  If I get the 20 years out of them, I'll come back and revise this to a 5 star review. :)  This is an advanced handyman project, make sure you have a buddy, you watch the install videos, and use caution.  If you're wondering, you'll be able to hold the tension on a standard spring with the winding bar if it is a 200-218 with a steel door even with your left arm.  I recommend getting an 8-point socket, which is hard to find (I went to 5 stores including Sears which didn't have it).  Amazon does have it, and I went to a tool supply store, paid $8 for the 3/8" by 3/8" for the set screws.  I went with a little bit bigger springs and heavier gauge and only had to wind them 7 instead of a standard 8 for a 16'x7'.  The bigger springs should last longer.  If you think you can do it, you can do it.

Great project!  Like all kits, no instructions and you pay for what you get.  I have noticed most complain about the nut but I think it's fine for what your buying it for.  The wiring was a bit more difficult that the Strat kit but search 'wiring a telemaster guitar kit' on YouTube for a perfect guide.  The body took dye great and after 7 light coats of spray polyurethane, sanding with 320 between coats and got a great finish.  I ordered a black pickguard for mine - if you get another pickguard be warned, it won't fit like the one that comes in the kit and will need to be tweaked.  Adjusting the action was not to difficult but to get perfection go to a music shop, while there ask how much to oil the fretboard, smooth the frets and upgrade the nut.  Mine sounds great without any important upgrades thru my Frontman amp, the volume knob works well.  The tone knob doesn't give much range but it's enough to hear when adjusting.  When building this do a pre-assembly to get the bridge in the right spot.  All in all I'll probably buy another one and build it with my son - and you should see the headstock designs he has made :-)
So many kits to choose from, I have made a Strat and Tele, both exceeded my expectations...

Very nice.  Hold the tubing well and should last for a very long time.

Sounds really good. Install was different as it came with an install plate rather than the dog ear clamps. The plate was easy to figure out however the included instructions didn't have information on how to use the plate. Basically, you cut the hole out with the supplied template then using the long screws, connect the speaker to the plate (dont forget to connect the speaker wire) then insert the plate through the hole. Screws the sub down and the plate and the speaker compress the dry wall and holds in place. No rattle. Make sure to use an appropriate amp. I paired it with this ---> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BLSM9M/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I never write a review but i must say this product deserves one! First off it is a major 'PROJECT' so be prepared to put in work! Took me two days! It's sort of like a puzzle, best way i can describe it. There were a few pieces missing which was very frustrating and the pieces sticking to the paper was even worse. But overall i was satisfied with the end result. Even with the missing pieces it came out nice.

So far everything looks OK and feel really solid.  I will post more when I have it actually up and installed.

I'm posting this to show people how to get the two post pieces together without a helper.  You just need some scrap wood, grease, and a heavy hammer to get it started.  The pic will make it more clear.  Here are the steps;

1. Mark off the correct distance on lower section
2. Apply grease liberally to lower section above the tape
3. Arrange both pieces as pictured (pics removed by Amazon and can't add back in edit mode)
4. Make sure scrap wood is between lower end and wall, and have a piece of scrap against the top
5. Lightly tap top piece on to lower piece - pay attention to alignment
6. When top is 1/2-1" on to lower piece you can now slide entire assembly FORCEFULLY against wall until bolt holes lineup

**FINISHED COMPLETE INSTALL**

I finished the complete install this weekend and will add a couple notes.  I am very happy with the complete product.

In NC we don't get a lot of cold so my hole was 30" deep and 24" around.  I pounded (5) 1-foot lengths of rebar into the ground from inside so they act as additional anchors for concrete.  In total I used 9 50lb bags of Quikrete and needed to buy 2 additional 60lb bags of regular concrete.  So....550-600 lbs of concrete and the pole about as solid as possible.

My advice is to forget the entire sleeve setup!  It's a stupid idea and I don't know anyone who has ever moved a goal when buying a new house.  Put the post together and set it directly in the concrete, and then pour 40-50lbs down the top.  An old laundry detergent bottle w/ the top cut off makes a great scoop.

Assembly of the backboard & rim was pretty straight forward.  Just take your time and read the instructions.  The entire project is a one person job except lifting the backboard which required a helper for about 10 minutes.

Regarding the stability.  The backboard does move a bit, but it is 100x better than anything temporary goal and the cheaper permanent installs.

In regards to appearance I think it looks GREAT!

Very nice product especially if you compost (and I do). Would have given 5 stars if now so pricey.

Seemingly solid build and components. They seem very heavy duty (I hope they sound as good as they look)... I'll update this review down the road, although I plan on keeping these on a permanent install in my dj coffin.

Purchased this as possible party items or party favor. Upon first impression, these are nice quality. Can use these for a long range of ideas. They came wrapped together and also individually wrapped. Quick shipping and product matched description.

Very cool product!  We have it screwed into an outdoor light that is housed in glass on 3 sides but open on the bottom.  The product has withstood high winds, weather, rain and other elements (remember its in a glass surround however - except for the bottom.)  Easy QR code install of software.  Wide color range (can blend colors and revise shading, not just "select" a pre-defined color.)  Can be just plain old white light too.  Sound is really quite impressive for a single speaker (probably helps that its in glass open-ended surround.)
Really a neat product and a perfect gift for the gadget lover!  Very useful.

Neat little diy soldering project.  Soldering, installation, setup all in about an hour.  Fun toy, sounds great, now all it needs is a case. Also pictured in the stack is a MakerSpot USB hub board.

Nice product.  Seems very high quality.  A little bigger than I thought but that's ok....

This was a great first, serious project to take on. I bought a nice hammond chassis, mounted the board inside with the tubes and transformers visible outside, and added a selector switch. I'm using it for home theater. Nice nice sound. Note of warning: Don't follow the directions - they tell you to ground the potentiometer to the circuit board - which kills one audio channel.

So far this product has worked well. It feels heavy duty all around.  I wouldn't pay it's retail price for it, but it is definitely a quality product. I would like it to be 50 ft long but I know that would be a much more expensive product. I have referred this product to others.
