I sat down at the puter today and got started on my LE14A project. My goal is to improve upon the S99 using the LE14A's in a 3-way system. I had originally thought that I would modify the existing enclosures but have since settled on building new cabinets, saving the old ones for sake of comparison between original and modified.

The new enclosures will have the same intenal volume as the original S99 taking into account the added midrange/enclosure and additional bracing so the external dimensions will be slightly larger. The front baffle will be in two sections, woofer section and mid tweeter section. The woofer baffle will be permanently glued in place, the mid/tweeter baffle will be removable allowing me to experiment with other drivers.

To make room for the additional midrange driver, I reshaped the port into a rectangle and placed it at the bottom so that sides and bottom of the cabinet form the sides and bottom of the port, simplifying its construction.

This is just the first step. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
