I think he meant 4350 w/6 vents become 4351, 4355 w/2 vents would be 4356
Well, it's too late now I had the guys in Italy make foilcals with 4351 on them, I hope I can sleep tonight. On second thought those were so cheap I can probably have them make another pair.
Here's where we are today. I cut the ports out and rabbitted the back of them out 3/16x1/4 so the cardboard tubes would recess into the hole. Then I marked and drilled the HF driver holes, those puppies are REALLY heavy I am going to give some thought on how to support them. I could make a metal frame to attach to the driver bolt holes but that still puts a lot of weight at the rear.
Keep 4351 I was Just joking!
your 435...6 will look super!!!! Finishing? Jbl Classic?
Todays highlights. I was going to use clear fir but I would have had to taken a second out on my house so I used kiln dried 2x4 that I cut down a 1/2 inch instead so I have a 3in. kick. I may cover it with a 1x4 of clear fir, MUCH cheaper! As usual I glued the crap out of them.
I also drilled the holes for the 2405's. Next I am going to install inserts for the speaker clamps, I hate those T nuts that JBL used so I have some 1/4x20 inserts and will cut the bolts down so they are not so long after that I believe I will be ready for assembly.
Today I drilled the holes for the speaker tabs and installed the inserts and cut out the last two ports. The inserts are WAYYYYY above what JBL used. They do not supports anything anyway the holes are cut so close that the speakers fit snug and the speaker tabs are only to keep them from falling forward. I also covered the 2x4 supports with some 3/4 clear fir. I'm going to assemble on thur. if everything goes well.
Don't try to assemble one of these by yourself. I looked at the panels and said "I can do this" Well, I did but it was a chore. I waited on the second one until my son came over and we had that thing together in nothing flat. now onto bracing, making the back, etc.
Mine are even taller than yours, big & ugly, but I never cared for the horizontal arrangements of 15” woofers in larger JBL monitors, be it 4350, Everest or whatever.
I stacked the 2235’s in vertical alignment with separate 5 cu. ft. enclosures for each, used ¾” birch plywood and ¾” particle board glued and screwed resulting in 1 ½” thick sidewalls, zero resonance, feels like concrete, but these are heavy as hell.

Post a pic of those puppies, I would like to see them!
More like 800 pound gorillas.
