Jdvann Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Awhile back I obtained the internals, drivers, horns and crossovers from a 1979 set of Belle's. After researching Belle's a bit I decided they were too complicated for my first DIY build so I decided on an Early Cornwall style. This required me to obtain a pair of K-600 horns to replace the K-500's which would not fit in the Cornwall cabinet. I worked on them every chance I could for the last month and I am in love with the result. Thought I would share a few progress pics...I had to break them up due to the 2mb limit.

Jdvann Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 (edited) I am blown away everytime I listen to them... Their volume and clarity seems to have no limit. I haven't decided on risers yet as they are already pretty heavy. Edited March 6 by Jdvann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82 Cornwalls Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Nice! You won't even notice the difference in weight when you add risers. The risers on my CWs had bad water damage when I got them, the new ones weren't more than a couple lbs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 So what crossover did you end up using? A Belle crossover? Belle inspired clones aren't too hard of a build. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used all the original components including the crossover except the K500, I went with the K600. Those Belle clones are beautiful. Awesome job!

soundbound Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 They look really good. How does the Belle crossovers sound in the Cornwall? Aren’t they different designed crossovers, one for a horn loaded woofer and the other for direct radiator woofer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually sounded amazing, but I recently upgraded to the Crites Type-B2 "Silver" crossover and I am extemely happy. Better and balanced is the best way to describe it. The mid horns were shouting a bit compared to now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
