Seadoc Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 22 hours ago, Marvel said: Those are looking super. Wanted to remind you, as I can't tell from the pics. Looking at this one, if your t-nuts aren't pushed in from this side, your woofers will fall off the baffle (unless you made a double layer to hold the nuts in place). Thank you for your advice @Marvel. Backs are removable and woofers are waiting to be installed. I countersunk the 2 t-nuts before I installed the upper and lower angled diverters. The remaining t-nuts will be face attached on the baffle. Should have, barely, enough access to all 8 machine screws inside the doghouse.

Seadoc Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 Woofers mounted. Used 10-32 T-nuts and 10-32 NF 1 1/4 Truss machine screws. @djkthank you so much for this real world advise on using 10-32 in lieu of 1/4. Started using my vintage 1884 Hay Trolley to raise and lower each cabinet. Not sure what they weigh but they exceed my lifting capacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 DJK had a wealth of knowledge, may he rest in peace. He is sorely missed. The basic first gen LaScala runs right about 125 pounds. I never got mine off the ground!😆 They are looking nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Awesome build! You really have thought over the details, I always admire that in DIY projects beeing build. Adding braces during the build is another great advantage I know from experience. Will be a joy to listen to (and to look at.) 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadoc Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 The end of the build and the beginning of the enjoyment. Challenging builds for sure, veneered plywood was not friendly. Looking at Super Heresy's for the next builds, Hehe! might have to get with @MookieStlon these. Just wanted to say thanks for all of the encouragement and words of wisdom. Handles being an awesome suggestion. On 5/5/2022 at 1:48 PM, Marvel said: DJK had a wealth of knowledge, may he rest in peace. He is sorely missed. Sadly, I did not know this. I agree 100% as his advice helped me. On 5/9/2022 at 4:10 PM, DirtyErnie said: Have they spoken yet? Oh yes! See the EQ pic of some listening adjustments. At testing, at less than 50 watts my tinnitus is getting fired up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Very nice build. But they deserve something better than Crown... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Not to pry, only from pure curiosity, do you have a cost on materials ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labor was free but spanned almost 12 months. @Shakeydealyes you are correct. Looking at a Mcintosh mc275 but I may not make Santa's nice list this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyErnie Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Maybe I missed it somewhere along the thread, but why have you built four of these? Great work, hope you enjoy them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass badges and brass screws for the handles. Only flash allowed. And with the few leftovers that there were I made outdoor bases. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 WOW! Those are some beautiful La Scalas. They look great, quite a bit better than my unrestored 1974 LSes. The handles are a good idea, too. Nice work. Congrats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Worth every penny and they look fantastic. Should sound ahhhmazing. Congrats on the new additions to your family! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I’d like to find some plans that would use two 15” drivers. I have a pair of JBL horns2446H mounted onto 2385 lenses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
