I ended upusing a set from before. These are 3/4 ***** ply. Hole is cut for the 15" woofer. Build the box and add the port and youre done. The motor board should make a build much faster. They are 22 1/4" x 22 1/4" not 22 1/2" The slightly smaller size should yield a slightly smaller cab. The side diff in insignificant. In my exp there was no difference. Using cab modeling software, it actually improves the bass response... a hair flatter. $60 for the pair + shipping of your choosing.

Does any remember the part number to order the K401.
What is the telephone #? I have a close friend wanting to replace his cracked K400 horns.

You're correct as to the horn. I demo my speakers a few times a year for people near LA wanting to hear Dave's horns. The Circle track is a demo piece... I have it hooked up to an iPod to show how efficient these speakers really are. The tops are planed as being planed as Eliptrac 400s/ DE85TNs or DE750TNs with an APT-12-600. Have the APT-12 500 and ES5800 with a switch I know the 2way sound and really enjoy it. Ryan Moses romoses3@yahoo.com or 425-248-8136 has been really awesome in cutting and finishing my cabs. He built some cool cases for 3 amps Im built too. Dave horn fit in the top hats like a glove. Have room to run Faital HF200s or almost anything but the big selenium's.

the pics dont do justice, bad lighting and an iphone is a bad mix... but I hope you get the idea.

From Ryan re: the stain. "I tried many different color tests today after assembling cab #2; oil-base walnut stain, water/alcohol base walnut dye, oil-base mahogany stain over walnut stain, etc. Finally went to my library and found a recommendation for Old Masters gel stain. I settled on one that's more red than the walnut, which just looked too dull on the birch. This is Old Masters 'Rich Mahogany' gel - it looks really good without any finish, so once it's top-coated it should really pop."
I will ask him about the screws and joinery.

The orig idea was to make use of motor boards I made 2 years ago... but seemed wiser to do splits. Ive sugested to rayne that many of us would do more if the cabs were avalible/ shown easy enough to work. I secretly have a dream of runing my current set and and putting the new set in my garage :-). (Cornscalas/ any klipsch heritage is wonderful as you can really run it with 3/4 watt SE amps.). Once cabs are made, Ill have to build and sell some amps to fund the parts to stuff them and make them sing :-).

Did a bit of late night planning... The original plan was to use M2380 horn/B&C DE85TN and the Baby cheek tweeter/horn combo. As usual my 1st response was short sighted... I now am planning to go with Fastlane audio Eliptrac and HF horn. The top-hat will now need to be 22" tall to acomidate. The depth will be 18" as I wont need any deeper. I may try some lazy Susan idea under it allowing me to turn the tophat. Wood work has not been my handy work but Ryan Moses (romoses3@yahoo.com) (425) 246-8136. Ryan came to hear the econo-waves Dave built and fell in love with the 2way cornscala's I got from Dave last year.
Long story short...Ryan does bad *** wood work, esp veneering. I had planned to buy a cheap table saw for my birthday in June, but bought some records instead.... and was advised that a cheap saw is a very bad idea. Ryan stepped up and offered to cut the cabs and help... with years exp he added to my basic layout and turned the ply into a new speaker :-). -
It built out of 3/4" baltic. The woofer will be front mounted... I love the idea of 1.5" motor board, but having tried and failed to remove a woofer from the recessed cab... face mounting is just fine with me. The motor board, shelf and back board are removable, by removing the screws from the inside. I cut the motor board at home depot... seems no 2 cuts were the same... we will use the irregular motor boards as jigs now... and recut them on his table saw. Im till in the air weather to go 2 way or 3. Prob start out 2 way and go from there... but who knows.
