As a Heresy fan, and looking forward to building a set maybe later this year, it’s great to see this type of amazing work. The capacitors are outstanding especially how they made your coffee mug grow! The capacitors drank my coffee too. Heresy are a fun build. About a dozen years ago, I pick up a pair dirt cheap. A dog had chewed them on several occasions. I built new cabinets out of used crate wood I had in the shop just to get them up and running. Used the motorboard and grill, just a clear urethane finish, so limited effort. A simple cap update and all original drivers. When I was done, I was blown away by them and wished I had used better wood. Now have three sets. Those, a fancy pair stained and cane grills and now these industrial looking ones. The last two were modified (but approved) versions of @ClaudeJ1 's Super Heresy. I highly recommend going this route. A more modern woofer with a port, adds the only thing missing from the original design, bass. Good luck with your build. Always an enjoyable project.

MC39693 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks, I have 1980s as original owner with E crossover I built and 1984 modified supers. The build project is for son in law. I have all the drivers and an E2 crossover I made, really just cabinet work to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt I need the HIP tweaks as these will not be used for dj or band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be the judge. If it is that much better, I will go that route and sign up for a group rate at my chiropractor. I was texting with @codewritinfool and he offered to do any lifting during our shoot out, it made me sound old and frail. I want to clear that up a little. I am old but not frail. I am strong as an ox, but am stupid. There is a distinct difference. There are thing you can lift and things you can't. There are items that fall in the middle where you have have to lift a certain way. I don't always know the difference. Glad I could clear that up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing has 8 wheels and 4 handles. I will try to hurry up the T45 so we can try it, the THTLP, and your new sub with the 4 La Scalas (want to make it 6?) and see what works and what doesn't. I really do think this needs to be OUTSIDE so there are no reflections to muddy things up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
