4345 Project

[JBLCanuck]

Uh-oh...

A few more weeks of this and we'll being going through all that electrical polarity / acoustic phasing stuff with you, too!!

You got that right Bo!
Ian MacKenzie's building my crossovers & I was explaining to him today that I hoped he was capable of explaining to a 7 year old, how to hook them up & get them setup properly...because that's what he's dealing with here when it comes to electronics
When I see you guys posting graphs & schematics...I may as well be looking at a novel written in Russian!

Almost finished the cabinets...I primed the backs & bottoms today...couple coats of satin black & some insulation inside & they'll be ready to start installing drivers & networks

Whoa - VERY nice lookin' boxes!
You should be real proud of this project ...

You guys are gonna make me sell off my puny 4341s
and get something of substance, aren't you ...

The only saving grace is that I haven't actually heard a 4345 yet
(Phil isn't granting an audience with his yet) ...

It's all yours if you wanna come get her!
I used to ride on that thing 40 years ago. I can remember my feet slipping off the pegs...it was a painful experience that I can remember well

Gorgeous cabinets! I'm more of an Altec guy, but have recently become intrigued with JBL. I've never gotten the colors JBL put on their speakers.... white cones, orange grills, etc....... looks weird and/or gaudy to me. This blue looks great with the nice wood, Though. I really like it.

I like the rocking horse too. I have the plastic version from the 70's that my sister and I had. I'm hanging on to it for my own kids..... when I have some. I've been concerned about the plastic breaking. I never thought about making one of wood, until I saw yours. Granted it won't be the one my sister and I rode anymore, although, the frame would still be the same..... at least it'll me a bit more than a modern store bought cheapy.

Oh..... I like the shop floor, too!

Do you want to post details as in pics, wiring diagrams of the crossover "here" or leave it to later?

Looking sweet but are you sure you got all the bracing in those cabinets? The bottom looks to have none but I think the factory had 2 on the bottom panel running front to back?

I'm sure Mr. Canuck has read in the 4345 plans page for the base where it says: "Base provides bracing for the cabinet bottom so cannot be ommitted." (That's not my spelling!)

Canuck: I continue to be impressed by what a superb job you're doing on the cabinets!

I just got this picture from my sister-in-law...

This rocking horse is now sitting in my shop on top of 4 4341's that are awaiting restoration...

It's my wife circa 1961..sniff...
