Baffle plans of the JBL 4344?

[DogBox]

I know the new design has been posted, but I was hoping someone had the front baffle layout for the plain old 4344?
Nothing wrong with the 'new' offset 15"... but I seem to prefer the look of the original one with the ports to the side of
the L-Pad plate & 10" !
Hoping someone could help as I would like to build a pair (as original as possible) on that design.

Thanks!!!

Hi Rob, Thanks for the link to the: Discussion Thread JBL 4343 to 4344 upgrade. I already have it in 'My Favourites' !! However, your link got me to pge 3 [posts #251 to #265 of 295 posts!] The discussion at that stage was on crossovers.. I went a few pages either side, but I think I will have to go through the whole thread to find the Baffle Plan layout. Looks as though it is still a popular topic by the number of views my question raised. Goodness knows what sort of reaction my "first choice" would have generated ? : Baffle plans for the JBL 4343- using a 'single' baffle board [re: No rotatable top half.] ; utilising all the "nice things", 2235's, crossover tweaks, etc. To have "a real classic" in appearence with goodies under the hood! But I think the pic. in that same thread in post #2 - are the boxes I'm looking for- the one where Lancer says:What a mess! ...well, I for one tend to like that 'mess' look! Were there ever any plans done on the 4343? As far as you know? If in fact I do want to build that design instead? mmmm......?????Thanks for your help!!DogBox[Steve]

Hey Rob,

Interesting thing... If I "sign out" , it puts things : just as you say it: pge 3! ...but all I could find were Ian's plans
of what eventuated into the "new" 4344 where I graciuosly got a lot of info from those 'graphic's drawn' plans..
I suppose there's not too much difference in the driver placement for me to move the ports back up beside the 10"...

No 4343 plans were ever done?....

Hi Rob, Just as I remembered I also had Mozilla Firefox installed, I used that browser to see the difference.... Wow! Everythings different... the smilies "move!" First time I realised! Just goes to show how much your browser can 'stuff things up for you without you even knowing.. :confused:
You don't have a sketch or "mud map" of the 4343 do you?
Thanks,

Steve

In asking for the "layout" dimensions for the 4344...

Can I please get that to include: the rotatable top of the 4343...

maybe the front layout for the 4340/4341...??
In my 'Advanced Search' , it seems closely held information... Doesn't it classify as "Library Research Information"...??
Without trying to infringe on copyrighted design.. If I can't afford to "buy" a genuine pair..[wish I could!!].. Why cant I
"build" a pair properly, according to the proper design dimensions and parts available? :)

DogBox,

Steve
