Naming of DIY speakers

Unread post by karatestu »

What am i going to call my speakers when they are finished ? Gotta call them something.

I need some help here. It has got to be a fitting tribute to Richard some how and not too long. Maybe use his initials RD with something else or ????

I am a bit stuck with this :think:

Very tongue in cheek Stu, but as you are in the NE, and you want to use RD initials, why not call yourself NERD Audio Developments ? :lol: :lol:

Your first product could be the NERD 1. 8-)

Chainsaw audio and FFStu :lol: :lol: :lol:

I thought of combining RD with Doc and NVA to make a word but it wont work

My current thinking is just calling them DOC or FFS. Short and sweet. If i want to make a plaque for the front panel of the speakers then that will be easy with just three letters.

What do you lot think ?
