Hello, I am new to this forum & was hoping to get some advice. I am an Antiques dealer & recently purchased a pair of very nice baker cabinets inside of each were mounted on a 3/4 plywood baffle JBL LE-15, 375 driver with a metal throat attached & plastic vents, along with an lx5 crossover, all drivers are 16 ohm & have blue or black wrinkle paint. I purchased these from the estate of an amatuer jazz musician & I believe he used these with a keyboard because they had 3/4 jacks wired to the crossovers. i checked the drivers with an ohm meter & they all matched very closely, the woofers voice coil doent seem to rub when pushed with gentle pressure. My question is can anyone recomend cabinet plans for these drivers? I also have 16 ohm 075 tweeters I can use for a three way system. I have a harman kardon Citation II amp & am not interested in biamping. I plan on having the original cabinets restored to their intended use (servers) & have a good cabinet maker That can build whatver I need for the speakers. I f I just measured the original cabinets would that be good? or is there something better. Thabks in advance for any help & sorry for the long post.

Matt

Could find some JBL 15" passive radiators and go Olympus...
