JohnJ Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 @longdrive03 You excel at this hobby of yours, or have you done custom cabinetry for years before! The speaker cabinets are seemingly always a unique beautiful veneer and definitely a quality job! GLWYS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speaker cabinets are seemingly always a unique beautiful veneer and definitely a quality job! GLWYS I can "date" how long he's been wood working and he'll hate me for this as I'v mentioned it to him before. I got my first car, a 1981 AMC Spirit (one step above a pacer) when my grandfather made a deal with me that if I would sell my motorcycle, he'd buy me a car. Bad part is, I should have found out what car that was going to be first. ha. But it was mid October 1982 and I was 16 years old and had a car with no stereo....and I loved stereo things already. I went and bought a Concord AM/FM cassette and an ads Power Plate amplifier that I bought brand new from the local store (Softmart in Searcy, AR I believe it was). A friend at my church knew that Ken built speakers and got me in touch with him and he made me a set of 2-way cabinet speakers using a 6.5" woofer and dome tweeters (Can't remember the brand) but this little system jammed in my hatchback and set my direction into a 25 year future of home A/V and car audio employment. @longdrive03 aka Ken, is a great guy and does outstanding work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdrive03 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Coytee it depends how unmottled she was to begin with! We can always put on more coats of poly! Mookie I need to get with you on the cabinets. My friend not longer travels to good old St. Louie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharp1 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Member for several years, but, not much of a poster...more of a stalker I guess. Interested in these, that's some beautiful cabinet work. Curious as to what the crossover and mid/tweeter work does for the sound signature? Depth? Smooth out the edges? Anyone had any info to share I'd be very appreciative.
