    Very Nice ! Mr Widget

    -Apart the great job on aesthetics ( which have become a given from you ) , I particularly like that slide-in mounting board .

    Yikes! I am now quite certain after seeing that work of art that I will never post a pic of anything I made...
    There are two theories to arguing with women, but...neither has worked.

    ...but Widget is a professional and his skills are evident here.

    Very appealing to the form and function sides of things, Widget.

    Jerk...

    Made me dig-up some fotos of the 3145 - not nearly as pretty, and buried deep in the cabinet...

First off the 3145 is a four-way that is switchable to a three-way... this adds a bit to the complexity. Second, for some reason, JBL chose to parallel piles of similar caps... not sure why they would do this, one reason might be that it will statistically increase the tolerance while using inexpensive 10% components... maybe they got a deal on certain values?

    Look at those fine sand cast resistors and mylar caps.

    Wanna take some hourly work? I'd LOVE to get something akin to those you built, and they don't need no fancy woodwork cases. pm me - I'll bring six-month's worth of Guiness, and of course a new chisel...

    Very nice job on the crossovers, Widget. Let us know how they sound. Just a quick question. Do you know how the new owner of these crossovers will run the Mid, High and Ultra High speaker wires into the cabinet?

    Yeah but they will need to be charge-coupled Bo. I believe we've talk about his before.


    Excellent thread Mr. Widget!
    I'm glad you decided to post it!

    I agree with Hamilton though. The rest of us will no longer be able to post our projects.

    Except Zilch, he has no shame.
