Wow Lee... Your kicking some ass there !!!! Now I'm dragging ass... I just dont know what to do... It will be Sat night before I can get back to my work. My next step is spraying the horns. Then .... I think I have pretty much decided to raise the top of the horn box ! Then I think I'm going to order Veneer and do all the wood that ya can see... Mainly the front and top ! Trying to find a good place to get Veneer now... Hint ... Hint... Anybody ????

Hi Kevin.
I have been following your project. Looking good .
I have used a a veneer from these guys.

They have just about every wood species available. The type with the "sticky back" is probably the easy way.
Check them out, lots of info there.

Kev, I would pop the top plate and then make the cut out for the mids then figure out what ya need for shim and pop the top plate back on..

 

[kevin]

Yea... I'll Only have to make a new plate that the horn and tweet fit in, two little side plates and the little on in the back.. But yea, I can use the same top.. I've got a couple places lined up for Veneer I just gotta measure and get it ordered.. It won't be bad at all... Just getting the time to do it is my prob..

I'm goint to try and get the horn boxes off and apart tonight !

 

[laatsch55]

One done and going in the horns for testing...

A VERY noticeable difference between the original x-overs that came from Al Klappenberger as a kit, and the new ones. I went with Sonicraft caps in the 2.2uf position and the audio grade Mills resistors. The smearing of the sibilant S'ssssssss are gone...




Kev's gonna love these!!
