Hi,

This is my first post here, I've been emailing Wayne for a while for my 4 pi project, and now i'll show some of the work i've done.

I've followed Wayne's plans, and used JBL 2226h woofer/mid and b&c de250 comp. tweeter. I modified the bottom of the speakers adding some MDF solid feet and made the front face thicker to cover the woofer.

I hope you like it, the photos are quite bad, as my iphone is quite destroyed. Next week I'll post some photos with a better camera.

BTW, thanks you all in the forum for all the info posted here Smile

Lucas.

I forgot to ask what kind of cable is recommended for internal wiring.
solid cooper, stranded? 16awg? 22awg?

thanks,
Lucas

Your boxes look nice. For the wiring, I think 20 or 22 ga would be a bit small. 16 or 18 should work fine.

Thanks Tom.
So normal 16awg speaker wire should work ok I think.

Looks great! And yes, 16 guage stranded speaker wire is just perfect. That's what we provide in our kits.

Is that way cool parallax in Pic #4 or did you build in a tilt?

Excellent casework!

Thanks Bill!

The feets on the front are taller than the ones on the back. So the speakers are tilted 5 degrees, its subtle, but it works great in my room. And I liked how they looked tilted!

By making this gap with the floor, I can install the binding posts on the bottom of the speakers, hidden

Here is a side view of the speaker:
