    Amnes,

    My speakers and up and running - the only thing left are the grills. I am very happy with their performace. I will try to upload some pictures in the near future.

    All in all, I highly recommend 2" for the MHF (as oppose the 2425 1" in the original 4345s). I made my 4345 almost all stock, but installed jumpers behind the speakers so I could use the JBL 2441+Westlake-like-smith horns on top of the speakers in lieu of the 2307+2425 I installed in the speaker cabinet. If I was to do this all over again, I would simply use the 2311+2441 inside the speaker. There is no reason to even try the 2307+2425 if you are building from scratch.

    It's not that I don't like the 2307+2425, I just personally prefer the sound of the Smith-horns+2441 more. I'm guessing this may be due to the fact the I am using crossovers that were designed around the 2441 (i.e., Giskard's latest 3155 equivalents networks) as oppose to using crossovers that are designed around the 2425.

    Good luck with your project.

    Yes, they are truly GORGEOUS! He should post some pictures here!

    I was by his home Sunday picking up a 4641 Pro sub I bought from him (at a great price, too!)
    and I asked him for a brief demo of the 4345s - Flat out WOW!!
    The sound was superb, the quality of his craftsmanship -
    exceptional ... the cabinets, and the grills - just fantastic!

    Haha! Absolutely - I'd love to have you guys over sometime. I'll see if I can set something up. This time of the year is always difficult as we roll right into tax season (I work for an accounting firm) after the holidays. I'll keep you all posted.

    I will post the complete new equivalent filter in my DIY 4345/4345 Mk II thread along with the fix for a 2441. Naturally I will have to build this and listen to it myself before I truly accept it.
    Are these changes the changes for the 244x (2") use or for a 8 Ohm version of the 242x (1") compression driver ?

    I made the 4355 network for now but I woul like to go to full passive 4344 with a'2" driver, sinds I lack the funds for an active crossver that can keep up with the rest.

    I ment to link to post #149 But that somehow failed, thats the schematic I ment.
