Some new Lf cabinets Ive been fooling with and have made it inside finally. This is a JBL2245 with box tuning help from Wayne and his Pi alignment. Sitting on top is 4pi pro with 2226 and on top of that is a wood horn with a 2426, soon to be replaced with another horn in matching wood to the cabinet moldings.

So far the sound is well......... I have no need for a sub any more!
WooHoo! Or anything else in the lower octave.

Still messing around with amps, crossover and Ultracurv. Sounds nice, very nice.

In a word..GORGEOUS! I'm working on a smaller setup with dual 2226 bottoms with 2122H lower mid and Emilar bowtie horns and Emilar drivers. Your bottom cab really looks great. Gives me some styling ideas.Thanks for posting the pic. Enjoy!

Thanks guys for all the nice compliments. Some how they ended up being more work than I was thinking. The reality did sound better than the dream Till! The reality also looks a lot bigger in the house than in the dream Too. Woa! The wife likes them they sound great.

Ive been fooling with Hafler amps and active crossover for hours now. cant seem to get that pro audio buzz/hum/hiss out when no volume. one amp does this, another does that...... switch it all around, change interconnects. ugggg!
They do sound better TriAmped but a passive crossover and plate amps on the LF cabinets is silent operation when music is down.

OK, here is a link to some construction pistures and a dimensioned sketch if anyone is up for a challance.

Next will be some new 4Pi boxes to sit on top. Black is beautiful but I need wood!

Thanks,

Bill
