  1. I've restored the cabinets, hardware and drivers but the crossovers are toast.  The set came from a church and the "pro installer" had painted everything white with an oil based paint.  Cone replaced in one of the 480's and one drone in a 320.  Ran them active to test and sounded fine, but would like to go back to passive to reduce the number of amp channels.

     

    So if anyone knows of a set or good replacements, please let me know.

     

    TIA

    I had those ball bearing casters on a pair of Yamaha towers.  They will scratch the floor and seize up in a few years.  Then they will really scratch the floor.  Took them off and switched to heavy felt pads.

    Yeah, they are cheap and sound like they use small rocks for the bearings, but they are good enough for now and will be most likely be replaced.  Good enough for proof of concept.

  5. I've been wanting to move the Jubes around easily so I can play with the imaging in my room.  They are on a concrete floor, they will slide on the silver buttons they came equipped with but its quite a bit of effort.  I am a pack rat so I saved much of the packing material that came from Metropolis.  They go the extra mile to assure they do not get damaged in shipping.

     

    So after much libation and thinking, here is my solution:

     

    First I created a template of the shape of the base cabinet in cardboard, then cut it out reduced by 1/4" on all sides, this will leave a small reveal at the bottom of the cabinet.

    Screwed two of the 3/4" plywood pieces of suitable size from the shipping container together.

    Traced the template onto the plywood and cut it out with s Skillsaw.

    Separated the pieces and sanded the edges and rounded the corners so they aren't sharp.

    Painted the top and bottom edges with flat black .

    Installed 8 each 1" ball bearing casters from Northern Tool item number 60147.  They support 70lbs each, so 8 of them are good for 560Lbs.  The Jubes weigh 260 or so.

    Carefully painted the caster bases to hide them better.

    Set the base cabinets onto the wheel platforms, they move nice now.

    It did raise the speakers 2", but I'm ok with that.
