They look great! You are going to love them when you load and power them up.

Nearly done... Hope to fire 'em up on Easter.

They are looking really nice, you gotta be very excited, Easter's almost here!
The cabs look great, did you reconfigure the dimensions? (you may have mentioned it earlier in the thread, I have not read it entirely) & the three holes next to the mid are those the slots for the L-Pads?

Great work, and I will second what Rob said, you are going to love them! Hope you have a lot of time to listen & get acqauinted with them

Is that a 9v battery in there?

Abbysolutely! Hi Mike, didnt mean to ignore your inquiry, I must have missed it as I bounce in & out of threads.
Gotta change those as a matter of fact, have not replaced them since I got them a while back.

Krunchy - the only dimension different from those in Ahaboh's plans is the C shaped support under the cabs which is 8cm high instead of 3 or so.

I'm supposed to recieve a crate this week, thus I finally got hold of the soldering iron and managed to finish off one crossover. It was my first ever so I'm very happy ho hear it works:

And the pair is done.

[Krunchy]

Very Nice! you should be very proud of yourself.

[Ken Pachkowsky]

Nice job your doing on these...

[Amnes]

Thanks for the compliments. This thread would not be possible without the support knowledge and other contributions from forum members.

Recieved a spcial delivery today and got straight down to business. Noon:




Late evening:




Need some sleep, and plan on wraping it up tomorrow so I can start blasting music.

They are looking good!

I'm jealous. Still waiting for my recones (hopefully I will have them in a few days).

[Amnes]

Just4kinks I can confidently say - there is a high possibility you will enjoy your speakers greatly. Definitely worth waiting for original recones. Mine are in operative condition as of now. I did some quick tweaking of spl levels and that's all it takes to make them sound very good. Base response is simply the best I've heard. The 250ti's can't compete in my room - I guess due to rear placement of the port's. The 10" midrange 2123h is an exquisite driver. It makes "In the air tonight" drums sound perfect. Le85 are spectacular on trumpets.

Somewhat finished since music is playing:





It will take me some time to seal everything up properly but as long as the cabs are operative and don't look half ass I'm happy.

great looking speakers and nice neat X overs - Well done
What sort of wires will u use for the internal wiring from X over to transducers?

[Amnes]

Wired with 2,5mm^2 and 1,5mm^2 ofc copper.

[1audiohack]

Very very nice! A project to be proud of for sure. What's next?

All the best,
Barry

[Amnes]

Thanks Barry. What's next? I beer or perhaps many beers chillin in the sofa listenin' to music. I need to get myself technics turntables, an Urei 1620 mixer and much more vinyl to keep occupied. Swaping gear is nice but from some point on only more music can be the anwser. Since I now have a pair of state of the art monitors + some pretty gear I shall learn to produce music and my goal is to release a pressed single or if I happen to be good at it an LP from the regions of house/trance/hardcore/dnb.

Congratulations... looks like a lot of work that has paid off handsomely!

Enjoy those beers and the tunes!

Beautiful! Having completed a pair od ayaboh's design last year myself as slightly modified 4344, i can only congratulate you for the outstanding finish of your speakers, enjoy!

Now comes the real difficult part (at least it is for me!) balancing these 4 ways as best as possible... good luck for that next adventure!

Cheers,
