justinsweber Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So my clone Jubs came out of finishing today. Almost ready to play again. These are clones wernt made by me. I did tear them down to wood again, reglued the doghouse and resealed her. The Crites 12" woofers (K22/K24 compatibles) were bolted back into place and I remade a new wiring harness. There are doghouse doors on top and bottom. The top door now holds the binding posts and there is a corresponding hole cut into the top hat. ALK was kind enough to revist his ESN500 for Jubs and redid simulations. The project came with the Fastlane Eliptrac 400 and Faital HF200s so they were reused. The horn is fully glued in likely will never be removed again. I had to head to work before I could finish this. I love the look. Instead of looking like a science project, she now looks mighty respectable. I do have access to the famous 223 tratrix but the increased size and need for 3way operation dissuaded me. Deep down my favorite systems are 2way and this is the summit for that use. My wife has threatened to end me if I try to bring them in the house, but life without risk is boring . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlson3 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 gorgeous ! the elliptical horn makes me think of atomic age sci-fi movies (like a "death ray" lol) - -it'll be great to hear how they play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinsweber Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 So just setting by ear before being in and measuring. Basic table cloth math was 94db for woofers. +3 for parallel +3 for folded horn. Meaning 100db cab. Maybe wrong on this. The HF200 says it's 109db. So I went for 9,0. Cat Stevens doesn't have bass like that. So then I went t 6,0. Daft punk and Cat Stevens showed more bass than it should. Went to 3,0 sounds about right but ear started to itch. Next it's 6, -2. Seeming very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 We're those brush painted or sprayed? What black paint did you use? Contemplating painting Belles (my build). Those look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 LCD soundsystem dance yourself clean was fantastic. I didn't realize how loud I was listening. Closest feeling to standing I front of the speaker stack at a concert. So composed and so much SPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Sprayed. Lacquer. Satin on the luster. I love the look of oak veneer that is sprayed black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Spray via spray can or air sprayer via compressor? What brand black paint? Yes, black does have a nice look when painted on oak...I agree. Look awesome! I guess after we build our new house next year, I'll have to build some Jubilee's and call it good.

justinsweber Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 LVHP sprayed. Homedepot rents and sells. Not a can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 6,-2 was perfect to my ears. My wife thought too hot. So went to 6,-1 still sounds great. Bit more bass. These go deeep and don't lose output. They easily better for cornscalas and even Khorns but the size is hard to live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
