Sorry, forgot to reply to the questions.

Was kidding about the coffee. Had a couple stress related heart attacks a few years ago and the meds give me the shakes once in a while.

No, my father was in Army Intel (covert) and then an designer/engineer for GM. He passed away in 1965 in Los Angeles. His name was Wally.

No rain here. 100% sunshine 7 of the last 10 days and temps in the mid 60's to low 70's..

...you didn't need to answer that crap!! ...but now that you did- I feel we all know you a little better.


Man, that's a bad break in a bad spot. I bet you have a PM right now with people wanting to sell you another 066 or kit. Am I right?

Lotsa luck!
take care,
Travis

No PM yet, and thanks for the heads up on where to post...

Will update this thread if needed.

What "Old cinema cabs" do you have?

For subs, 8 cuft gets 2245 or 2242, 5 cuft gets 2235 here.

4628(B)'s a favorite Cabaret with several forum members. They do need subs, tho.

Same with the little 4612(B).

I at one time owned the "Whole Cabaret" series. I liked the 4612's too.

These didn't have a model number on them but they resemble the old Altec Lansing Voice of the theater cabs.

They have JBL Stickers on them, but I realize many companies used this design, so they might not be JBL...

Kind of like the pix here, but about a four inch port running the width at the bottom. I have them already so I thought I would try to use them.

What cabs are under the 4628's in the photo.

Bass cabs are 4625(B) with Sub1500 (NLA) in them. Both ports are closed. I subsequently decided I like the alignment with just one port closed better when I needed port plugs for another pair.

2235H would likely play well in those cabinets, though I've never tried that, and would have to work out the optimum tuning. They're not far off from my favorite B380 sub in size. For real sub use (they weren't really subs with the stock E-140's in them,) those cabs need cross-bracing added inside. Not a big deal to add that.

Note also 4628B's are inverted for MTM configuration in those stacks. An obvious remaining problem with 4628's for serious listening is that they are not mirror imaged. I may fix that in a pair I have which require rehab, and see how much it improves them. Alternatively, I've designed a new cabinet for this driver set with vertical in-line layout, which you can find in these forums, the "Z2".
