Big Boombox

When I found out that she wasn't as square as I had hoped I just went ahead with paint and stuff.

Boy it sure is loud.

I think the XO needs a little work, there's a peak around 1K that's a bit shouty so I'll probably add a notch.

Geez, a tweak and a twiddle here and there and this thing's starting to sound pretty good.

I would think the spacing from your LGs to the Whardales would make the XO more of a challenge. Impressive work BTW. If I had any use for a mobile system I would definitely follow suit(with piano hinge though).

Hi Boydon, thanks for the comments.

The spacing was due to them being separated by a 3/4" divider and the fact that I'm not happy crowding the drivers against a wall. Thanks for the compliment on the work but it really did turn into a utility cabinet when I realized the slight twist which eliminated the chance to use a piano hinge.
