Greetings, Friends,
I've been racking my brain as to how I can get "something" together, which resembles my "Dream Speakers", even if I end up changing things a bit as I go on with this project.
It came to me that I have a pair of PA cabinets that I used for many years, each being about 4.5 cubic feet. Currently, I have a die cast CTS 15" woofer in each box, and that, plus a Community horn with Altec driver, was a fine small PA system for many years. I thought that, if I mounted my JBL 2235H woofers in that box, replacing the CTS woofers, and retuned it, that may well sound pretty darned good. I can then add a small box, with JBL 10" 2420 compression driver with horn lense assembly, and the 2405 slot tweeter, to complete the package. This will be bi-amped electronically, and may well sound good enough to satisfy my "needs", while I take more time to find and gather a nice pair of walnut veneered JBL emclosures. Worth a try, me thinks!!
My only problem is that the CTS woofer hole is smaller than that needed by the 2235's. The CTS requires a 13 11/16" hole, whilst the 2235 requires a 14 9/16" hole. This is a difference of 7/8", and I need to open up that mounting hole in the cleanest way possible. I'm thinking about using my router, but it would have to be free hand, and that could really make a mess!! Any suggestions, Friends? Thanks, very much, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc
P.S. In truth, I "blame" you folks for sucking me back into my quest to get my "Dream Speakers" together! Until I stumbled upon this site, I was blissfully happy with my little JBL 4408's, and my "make do" subwoofer!!! NOW, all bets are off, and I'm as anxious as a new Bride on her wedding night!!! :D:D;);):D:D
