gunna have some fun today. Listening test of my new subs plus a shoot out against a THTLP! We will let you know how it goes.

Rest in Peach Sancho, you will be missed here. Condolences to his family and friends.

Get better and get OUT! Best of luck.

I'm not a real stickler for keeping things "near" original, but if you veneer the back panel, you can reverse the panel to put the label on the inside. If you want to go back or someone wants to confirm the label, you can switch it back easily.

Exactly Well put!

My objective was to make subs that hopefully can keep up with the LSi s and be portable. I really like these pro drivers and they put out plenty of db's. My goal for the portable angle was not too large or awkward and try to keep it under 50#. Well, two out of three aint bad! These weigh in at 64#!!! The driver is 27# so I thought the wood could be done under 23#ish. Guess I was wrong. They are sturdy!

No offense taken. I hate dislike people that use track saws. To design the cabinet and do the layout on the router still takes some skill. The easy part is when you do multiples.

Hate? That's a bit harsh! It would have taken you twice as long cuz it would have been a horn instead of simple box!

An attempt to make some subs to keep up with my 4 LSi for outdoors. Eminence LAB15 sub driver. I have a crown amp with DSP/bandpass to drive them.

going to finish these out and give them a good work out. I may roll your THTLP over and compare if I still have time. I'll see how it goes.

Made some ports and added some corners.

You have far too many new toys to be sitting in a hospital bed. Get better soon.

I had so hoped that on this fateful day of you and Carl having the same thought that possibly you could both be correct, but alas.......

That's a big room. I prefer the LS over Cornwall by a huge margin. BUT never heard the LSii or the Cornwall IV. Both are highly regarded. For that size room the extra punch of the horn loaded low end (along with your two subs) gets my vote. Others will be along to tell you otherwise. It is good that you have two really good choices. No wrong answer in my books.

I can personally vouch for the modifications. I have done this a couple times now and they really kick the Heresy up a couple notches (and they were great to begin with) It doesn't hurt that these are also gorgeous. Great job on the veneer and I have always thought the cane was the best look for those speakers. GLWS

As long as she did not giggle, then NO! Turtleing is a common medical condition given the circumstances.

Next project in full swing.

I doubt you will blow the fuse. I never blew mine. I think it was for bands, concerts etc. where they would get pushed hard for long periods of time. The industrials were always fused as far as I know. That x over was used in non-industrial LS also. Maybe just skipped the diode when fused and put it in when no fuse to protect the tweeter. My LSi have AA and still have the diodes. Go figure.

If you look closely, I have the tweeter in mine off to the side instead of stacked. The cabinet did not need modification that way. Not sure it is the best array, but sounds nice to me.

I didn't question the slot in relation to the "points on the ramp", the ramp is on the opposite side of my concern. Your drawing clearly show a 13" tall x 3" wide slot that needs to be covered entirely by the 15" woofer inside dimension (13.77" diameter for the Kappa C) on the inside of the doghouse. His converted dimension into mm is not correct which adds over 1/8" to the length. I have put kappa C in a couple times and they barely cover the 13" slot (when you factor in the width of the slot which his is also is over 3") He is long past the point I thought he was, so my hope of trial fit to adjust if needed is moot. I hope it works out just fine. It should. He is doing great.

purely conjecture on my part but maybe the diodes were not necessary for the industrials since there was a fuse.

The plans I have put the slot at 3" x 13" which the 15" driver covers just barely. These plans are in cm and 77 cm x 335 cm coverts to a slight increase in the slot size (335 converts to 13.189"), which may or may not be an issue. Good time to double check is right now. If you have the woofer, set it in there and check to see if it seals the opening entirely. I have also seen some older LS with much smaller slots. I hope this isn't an issue. I've scrapped a few (hundred?) boards in my day.

I agree with most of the above. Easily worth a thousand. You can test the waters at or above that and adjust if no bites. If you have the original tweeters still, you can swap them out and sell Dave's tweeters separate. someone would be thrilled to get them. Key is to get someone to hear them, then they will buy. My supers sound wonderful. Is that cane grill cloth or a linen?

RIP Kirby. The world needs more funny, smart and friendly guys, not less.
