Shrink Totem 1's?

Hello 

New here. I have a pair of Totem 1's which have been in storage for a few years, in order to get them to fit on my bookshelf I plan to cut them with table saw and take about 4" of depth away. These are rears and space is limited.  I have low expectations on the outcome but I'll keep this post updated as what materializes with this project.  PS these are about 5/10 condition so not too worried about the outcome. Also fronts and center are all Totem (in better condition). Wish me luck. Thanks

This has to be an early April Fool's post.

 

If not, I'm just SMFH.

No pictures…it didn’t happen.   Show us the picture of the cut down speaker.

Instead of taking 4" off the speaker cabinets, just add 4" to the shelves they will sit on.

Are you out of mind?  Sorry to use that wording but chopping 4" in depth will turn the 9" sealed box to a semi-open baffled speaker, completely ruin the structure, design and sound of the speaker.  Consider donating them to a caring / loving home / owner please.  I will be more than happy to take care of them.
