    Hmm I didn't post pics, just a blank slab of wood with two terminal cups towards the top. Maybe I should glue some green shag carpet to them.....

    And that birch veneer is paper thin. Sucked to work with. Avoid that Home Depot birch plywood. Not worth $100 a sheet. Anyways these are what I was looking for sound wise. Warmth, detail, sound stage, bass goes low enough I think.

    The birch is the veneer. They can always be veneered later.

    Lii Song W 15 Open Baffle 15"

    Maybe run some open back planar, ribbon, or electrostatic tweeters with em? I'm surprised they go to 5khz being 15 inches and all

    Me neither. You can't see the gaps in the pictures I took :) I did borrow a track saw to give myself the best chance of getting a straight cut, but the back panels have to be belt sanded before they can fit lol

    Let's take this thread back to the 70's

    The cars from my glory days sucked, maybe except for the nuchargers/challengers. All the 90s JDM cars are now wayyyy too much $$$ and are slower than my lesbo wagon. As for the girls, the juice ain't worth the squeeze, not to me anyways. Maybe I'll hot rod that old Ford at some point......

    I know that 422/418 cones break up sooner than the 416, which is problematic for HiFi use. I may mock up that 422 to use in one of my open baffles when I take the 604s out of them.....

    Let's take this thread back to the 70's

    I'm just old enough to remember the early internet, windows 3.1 and 95. I did have a Commodore 64 setup which predates me by a few years. Sold that for a pile of cash. As for the "glory days" all the girls hated me and all the cars sucked. Had to nerd out to not go crazy.

    The 422 is supposed to be like a 418, it has an alnico magnet and an aluminum dust cap. IDK maybe it's actually a bass speaker..... Univox U-320apb I think. 7591a outputs, has reverb and tremolo

    I have those 422 woofs earmarked for a guitar amp project, I have an old Univox chassis that needs a cab and a speaker.....
