    My Drew Daniel's inspired DIY project.

    Well, I have finally gotten very close to finishing the construction phase of my little DIY project. So, I decided to take a little break and take some pictures to share.

    As you can see, it just a plain brown box. Why, I didn't even try to make it look like any existing JBL product. So, this enclosure is a total sleeper...

    Well, the system is quad amplified, and I am feeding it with just a wee-bit of power.
    An Ashly XR4001 4-way electronic crossover feeds to a K2, K1, and 3 D-75a amplifiers.
    So, in my small apartment, clipping is never a problem.

    Here is another view of the back, and with something that you don't see every day.
    I will give you a little hint, it's not a port.

    OK, this really does give it all a way...It's a lift handle.
    These boxes started out weighting in at 75 lbs. each, with just the JBL drivers alone.
    So, lift handles really are a helpful addition.

    And here is a close up view of the Doggy Box, which will house a 2012H driver.
    It has a net internal volume of 0.5 cu. ft. and 2 - 2.03125” diameter x 2.1" long ports.
    The WinISD program calculated the port tuning to be 98.5 Hz.

    Here is a close up view of the LF enclosure section, which will house a 2226H driver. The LF enclosure section has a net internal volume of 5.0 cu. ft. and 3 - 3.937" diameter x 10.5" long ports. After running some test, my plan is to shorten these ports down, until the enclosure is tuned to 40 Hz. precisely.

    A close up view of the LF enclosure section again. This time with the fiberglass installed.
    I must thank Zilch for the 3M spray adhesive advice.
    The 3M spray is really the best way to install fiberglass.

    I also sprayed several light coats of flat black paint on the areas that might be visible from outside the enclosure.

    Here is a close up of the HF enclosure.
    The plywood and cork ring is to provide support for a 2446H "Big Boy" driver.

    OK, I will finally, stop teasing all of you, and show you a front view with the grill frame removed. I made the opening for the 2405 "Slot", 2382A horn, and 2012H 10" driver, so close together that the drivers actually kiss each other. And the opening for the 2226H is only slightly off-set, its’ outside edge is vertically aligned with the 2382A horn.

    Last Picture For Now..

    Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I will be moving the components from these temporary quarters and into the new boxes.

    Baron, you are an inspiration and an admonishment to people who blog too much. Very nice indeed.

    Great project!

    I will be watching with interest for the final product!

    If you were to leave the tuning of the ports flexible, you might use 2235 in the future for deeper LF response. Just a thought!

    Thanks for sharing with us!
