i always thought the gf525 had room for improvement in looks so i got rid of the nasty grey front grill to expose those nice chrome bits against the black,i also sprayed the little grills on the tweeters black as well as the speakers....i think it looks quite sweet now

should have left the factory looking like this, big improvement!

nice going -- looks much better your way

Looks much better than the original! Good idea! 

Good job Lee, looks mean.  I've got the 515...but i prefer the darker 525.

It's a shame how they offset the surrounds from the actual speakers... bit of a wtf from Sharp.

Thats nice. Funny I've allways preferd the look of the 525 to that of the 555. Your one looks great.

I wonder if hacking off the waffle style grills would improve the look of a 555 (or would it be like polishing a turd?) not that I mind cos I think its ugly looks give it character

Yeah, somthings ar just best left looking ugly, I think your right actualy, even if the 555 is ugly it has loads of chareter. i would still own one!

I luv my 555, the little brick sh*tshouse

yer i cant understand why they did that!!!

thanks guys for the big ups on the old 525

it's even earned a place in the boombox room now 

nice work Lee,

i had mine serviced last week by del its in great shape and is also a black key version,

the 525 has grew on me a lot lately they are good solid boxes

a truly great concept! well done Lee 

looks good lee
