    The Carnage

    For those who followed my post regarding hanging the L112s to replace the Cerwin Vegas as front and rear surrounds, I noted that the back had pulled out of one of the speakers.

    At 16 feet below, it would have fallen on, everything to the right of the screen (modified L200, Sunfire Signature, fine art work, etc.)



    And this is what had happened to the speaker.


    I don't think it would have stayed up there much longer.

    first problem is that you had CV's hanging lol that would have been a horrible event to have happen. gotta support the inside of the cabinet then use a piece of rod through the whole cabinet from back panel to front baffle with large fender washers that way the box won't rip apart (im sure you know that one now). very lucky man though and a very lovely looking room there

    Wow!

    That is amazing that it did not fall.

    Good thing you noticed it before all heck broke loose!

    No problem, John. If it won't fit L40, I'll make an adapter for a deeper box here....

    How goes the Hot Rod? I have another pair of 2425Js, this time on 2370 horns headed my way.

    I was thinking that these horns could be good for the front surrounds as they face forward along the ceiling line and can't be toed in. (The L,C,R,LR, and RR all point directly at the listeners.) Thus, one would want good horizontal coverage to reach the entire seating area, but limited verticle coverage to minimize ceiling effects.

    If you have one around, maybe try it in the "Hot Rod" too.

    Thanks

    I was at a pro-audio auction and many of the JBL 4312s had big Omnimount ball in socket brackets still attached to them. Not sure if they are the 60 lb. or 120 lb. model:

    I believe these were attached with just some tee-nuts inside the back of the cabinet (I would expect the JBL pro cabs to be better than the CVs intended for home use)
