Thanks srm51555.

Finally they have been finished. It was a hell of a job to lift them from the floor. But my wife is very strong person :D

Unfortunately, I havnt yet listen to them, my amp...

Im getting close. My wife and I manage to move them in to the house from the garage today :p

I have built mine using 1" Baltic Birch plywood. I used MDF as bracing. The curved baffle and the angel on the edges are there for one reason: acoustic :D
Maybe Pos know more about that? :)

No its not. This cd is for the VTX-seris what I understand. You could find the original M2 cd driver here:

But I dont know...

Well, I checked and I manage to lift it out of the cardboard box. :crying: It was easier to lift it with the handles than without the handles. It felt more balanced :o:

The threads are UNC, 1/4" x 20 treads per inch. :)

Look at that :D

Thanks all of you for the valuable hint. Yes, I can confirm that this is the case. I have checked the thread is 1/4" x 20 as mention here. Fantastic, mounting problem solved. :p

Wow, is that true? Any idea what threads they have, 1/4" ? :blink:

Thank you Mr Widget for those words :)

Now, I was thinking on how to mount the 1501 speaker. Its a heavy weight one and havnt figured out how to drop it in place.
Its approx 10-12 kg heavier...

First layer of Danish Oil: :)

It was a difficult job to glue the four ports. The glue would not allow me to keep it inside the rim of the curved baffle, it came outside
no matter what glue I used. But now they are securely glued...

Thanks sguttag. Well, if we didnt have the dog in the house, then the speakers could have been used without grills But I want to protect the 1501AL-2 from the animal..........:o:

The ports came...

Thank you all for the positive comments :)




Its my daughters Aprilia a super scooter :D

When I was finished sanding I glued a thin approx 3 mm plywood on top of the curved MDF baffles. That removed the small irregularities that was left from planing/sanding and added a better surface to...

Hard work with a plane, then sanding. But at first I made a template of thin plywood that had a perfect fit to the curved area of the M2 horn. It helped me
to get to the right curvature on the...

Slow progress, but have done som painting last week. :)

Absolutely baldrick. But I lack amplifiers, DSP and all round that. But we will see when things has settle down ...... :)

Thanks al of you for the positive comments. Today Im going to start the painting work. I think Iĺl start with the.......... blue :p

Thanks Rob. I have the "Danish oil" in stock. They will be much darker than they are now. Planning to paint the mid-baffle like JBL blue. If its not looking good I can always paint it black as the...

Slowly progress but finally I manage to veneer the cabinets. Im working in a garage without heating and I cant work with temp below 15°C.......:o:

But there have been some days with warm weather...

Wow, nice cabinets lesliew. Yes, you are right about the hard job to copy those grilles...... I was thinking of if it could be possible to make them out of GRP though I have done a lot of job with...

Thanks Fitero. God to get the dimension of the originals. Looks to exactly fit my M2 clone. Now I have the choice of two alternatives: either purchase the original grilles or make them...

Thanks Pos. I only need the total Width and Hight (largest) of the original grill. The profile baffle for the two ports are already finished and have the same contour as the resting lip of the WG ;)

Thanks Mr Widget. Yea, I have been thinking of it. But Im unsure about the exact dimension of the original grilles, I havent found any dimension data for the originals. Though I have built the...
