Good job

Nice ! Congratulations on getting finished a build that you really like ( I must say that at our age / 60+ , we deserve it ) !



I think it's great that you went with that Eliptrac horn / you should be able to achieve stunning imaging with those .

I have a pair of JBL H5038 ( paragon horns ) that offered wonderful imaging ( though a mite narrow ) when I was using them .



I could easily see myself trying out a pair of those Eliptracs in the future .

As a sort of thank you, I'm going to make and install on the cabinets Lansing Heritage badges made with the same 1/8" aluminum as the other ones. I've already copied the logo, flipped into mirror writing and printed 2 of them on a transparency. Now I've got to make the aluminum parts They'll be done maybe today or tomorrow and I'll post a pic or 2.

Here's a couple of pics showing the new Lansing badges. I'll post another set of pics after I get all 4 JBL woofers back from the repair shop and installed.
Thanks again,
Henry

I've been told that the TAD 4002 doesn't need to have a tweeter and I'd like to try it in that configuration, but what would the crossover schematic be?I want to use the same woofers and their low pass crossovers as they work very well. This is the present crossover's schematic. What would the proposed new high pass crossover look like? I would like to keep the same 800 Hz crossover point. Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks for posting pics of those monsters you've built. Very nice work! Very impressive to look at!

I especially like the badge work you've done. Those really make for a professional presentation.

So you want to convert the horn crossover from a bandpass filter to a highpass filter. I'd start by shorting across the series .27uH inductor and removing the 2 3uF caps that drain the HF off and see what that sounds like.

BTW, the 238X flat fronts work really well with the 3110A equivalent circuit that you can find here on LHF. I use it with a 2445 and a pair of 2226J's in my HT system as Front L & R. Needs a sub, not something you need to worry about with 2234H. I only have 2 of those, so they are the sub in 8 cu. ft.

Nice looking cabs, BTW.
