JBL DD55000 Everest Enclosure Plans

[abnormal_vetter]

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this has been covered here before or not. I have scoured the net and have not been able to find any information yet.
Does anyone have the enclosure plans for the DD55000 Everest?
I have found threads here in the past with this kind of information for most 43XX series speakers and was hoping that such information would be available for these.
I have collected all parts necessary to build a pair and the only remaining works are the crossovers and enclosures.

Hope you can help and thanks!

More than one member here has undertaken a stab at it
and there are posts here with much dimensional info,
perhaps enough... But as for specific plans? I've not seen them.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
I feared that there wasn't enough information on the enclosures of these speakers.
Looks like this is going to be a challenging build!

Hi abnormal_vetter,
If You have appropriated drivers and horn ( I think 2346), then the box construction would not be a great problem.

Ivica,

I was hoping to make them exactly as per the factory originals.

All I can tell you, is that the net. volumina is 240litres and it has two 4" ports with 3,4" length tuning to aprox. 40hz.

Hope this helps a little.... :)
