For those members who have requested my L-100 drawings, I have attached these. All dimensions were taken from a real L-100, and are the same except the overall cabinet depth, which I made 1/2"...
I am using a JBL EC35 as my center chanel with L100's as the front mains. The EC35 blends nicely with the L100's and has good vocals. Found mine on that big auction site, new in factory sealed box,...
I used the plastic duct tubes from a dismanteled pair of L100's, that I purchased on that major auction site. The cabinets are the same heigth and width as the factory L100s, but are 1/2" greated in...
For those of you who haven’t read my thread on constructing a pair of L100’s please see the following thread under the DIY forum:

After listening to these speakers for several months, I have some comments and a question to the experts out there.
My previous speakers were a pair of L-26's, which I still enjoy. My L-100...
For this project, I used a pair of original L100 crossovers. I tested the L-pads and found them both to be in good working condition. I then installed .01 by-pass caps. as others here have done.
...
I had a request to post a few more pictures. These were taked without a flash, so the color of the wood appears a little different. If it ever stops raining around here, I'll take them outside for a...
And finally, with the grill frames on with "sonofagun's" wonderful foam grills.
Below are pictures of the completed speakers with all the componets installed.
There's another improvement that I made to these. In the above pictures, you can see that I installed a T-nut for that one crossover mounting screw that is located under the foilcal. In the future,...
Well, I'm pleased to report that my L100 project is complete. And they sound wonderful.
First, I have some pictures of the cabinets after they were stained and painted. After sanding with 200...
Well, the cabinets and grill frames are finally done. Here are some pictures taken before the finishing begins.
Finally, here are some pictures of my progress on this project. I haven’t glued the front baffle to the box yet. I plan to install the fiberglass insulation to the box sides and back, and install the...
Thanks for your response.
In reading this entire thread, I didn't find a description by "Audiobeer" of the finish applied to these cabinets. Could you post the steps you did in the refinishing...
Thanks for the information, which leads to another question. I have read descriptions of several members modifications to the L100 crossover. What would be the difference in using a .1 or a .01...
After reading this thread, I have a question on the crossover updates. What does the .1ufd bypass Cap. do?
Well, this project has certainly not gone as fast as I would have liked, mostly due to summer family activities. And not having access to a table saw doesn’t help either.
I have cut the top, bottom...
Since I have never been able to listen to an L36 in the same room with an L100, I would like to know if anyone has compared these two classic loudspeakers.
http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/images/smilies/smile.gif Thanks again for everyone’s input. I now have all the materials and plan to start construction of the cabinets in the next few days. I am...
My thanks to all of you for your response and opinions. I now have all the required components and I'm in the process of creating CAD construction drawings from measurements taken from a friends...
The foilcals I have are perfect. One is completly flat and the other has a slight curl to it. Neither one has any wrinkles in them.
Thank all of your for your feedback.
For those wondering why I would go to the trouble of building the L100 cabinets, let me explain. First, I enjoy woodworking. Second, I have a friend with a pair...
HI All,
I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for your input. I have been slowly acquiring the components for a pair of L100's with the intent of building my own cabinets. I enjoy...
What are the differneces between the 123A-1 and 123A-3 12" drivers? I understand both have been used in the L-100 speaker and others. I've seen both for sale on ebay and was wondering if one is...
