barefootpoet Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Thank you JL. Its basically a combination of me not having any experience with cutting plywood and the know-how. I've messed up cuttting the curves of the top part of the 200 cylce horn three times and twice on the back part # 22. And 4X8 plywood is $35 a pop. In addition I should have researched this beforehand but I doubt I'd be able to find the two A8419 plastic horns that backfire for the mid bass as well as a 18WK so its probably for the best. My hats off to those who've build one successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK Obviously you haven't seen the house the beer buddies built for free. [] On the positive side, there is a built in keg cooler in the living room!

My hats off to those who've build one successfully. A project that may be a little more within your abilities is a Bill Fitzmaurice design speaker. He has a lot to choose from, and they are all buildable from obtainable parts. I have built 2 Tuba Home Theater subs, a 2X 10 guitar speaker, and an Auto Tuba. I had very little prior woodworking experience. Last month I built an entertainment center. I would have never tried that before I did the speakers. It is a great way to learn.

barefootpoet Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'll be the first to admit that I no doubt bit off more than I could chew with the particular project. My ambition oftentimes gets me ahead of what I'm actually capable of. I looked at some other EV plans such as the Empire & Cornet and may go that route sometime in the future.

GPS _Jon Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I built two of these back in the mid 80’s from the plans that EV sold. My father built one unit back in the 50’s. I just finished revamping the tweeter and mid-high horn with Klipsch 77 and 55 drivers. My build looks like a very large set of Khorns. I’ve been pleased with them for many years but the current upgrade I did brightened them up from the drivers I had originally built them with. I’ve enclosed a picture. Hope the best for anyone building these. There were a few things in the plans that had to be figured out during construction.
