I see....
So upon further inspection of Saeman's pictures...they seem to have a 3/4" Birch baffle & 1" PB sides/back.
In 2008/9...is MDF better than PB for this purpose or is there some other reason to use a particle board?
Thanks for the info. :)

JBL used to use particle board, but by the 80's like most everyone else they switched to MDF.
It would seem that based on this secondhand account of a study comparing cabinet materials, it would make sense to use MDF for the main cabinet and use plywood for the dog house.

Here are some pictures of 4345 clones I just completed last weekend. It was a really awesome project and I want to truly thank everyone who posted plans, schematics, and advice on this forum!
Is that a sheet of glass on top? Are you running one amp, or bi-amping them?
Hi, I modified the design of the case a bit to include a recessed area on the top for a sheet of glass. Basically they are exactly the same as some L65 Jubals that I own. Figured there was about a 100% chance of my wife setting plants on the top of them so glass was the best option. Unlike the Jubals it is veneered underneath, not black so I used clear glass rather than smoked glass. I built the charge coupled crossover as detailed in plans listed on this forum. But I added the 6 pole switch like the factory original so they could be switched from bi-amp to single amp. Currently I am powering them with a single amp. Picture of crossover attached.
Congratulations on completing your project!
They look great, I hope you and your resident indoor gardener enjoy them.
Thanks for sharing.
