K400 He was bolting it in and broke one of the mounting tabs... Ive told him to upgrade... he has chosen to just do it this way.

Sorry for the lack of extra pics. I will take some tomorrow night. I have Eliptrac horns form Dave... need sanding and Ive ordered 6 pairs of binding posts. After that it make be a minute before finished... Need to purchase Eminence 15C woofers or Bob's, pair of Apt-12-600 crossovers and 2 B&C drivers. I want the promise of the large JBL studio monitors with the more relaxed sound of Klipsch. Having heard this combo before I can tell you its both engaging and very hard tp beat for less than 5K and the efficiency allows use of flea watt amps.

I waited 2 years to use. These are Single cab Cornscala motor boards.... 25.5" wide x 35.5" tall. The hieght cab be adjusted down by 4". Lots of variations to get the 6cu ft to 6.5cu ft. I build this cab previously and the bass far exceeded the corns walls I had on side. These are 3/4 birch 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. $50 for the pair + shipping of your choosing. Justin 323-868-9722 justinsweber@hotmail.com

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. Justin 323-868-9722 justinsweber@hotmail.com

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.

ALMOST DONE

GOOD TIMES

with stain and some decent light :-)

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.
