Thanks.

Its bass reflex and turned out quite nice sounding. Vent is located at the rear of the cabinet with a flare to the outside.

This is my Dipole Line Array,

it needs a subwoofer for full bass performance
below 70 Hz, so it is a FAST system in fact.

On the rear of the open baffle there is a
tweeter panel which adds the highs missing
in the backward radiation of the fullrange drivers.

This is to optimize polar radiation characteristcs
and to ensure enough power above 2 Khz in the
far field.

For listening distances up to 3m you won't miss
(or even notice) the tweeter panel. At higher
distances it is a real improvement.

These chipboard speaker cabinets are sealed. The inside volume of each is 3 cubic feet. It seems that originally they were meant to be bass reflex subwoofers. Someone removed drivers, reflex tubes and terminals, and abandoned boxes. I don't know who built them or why they were left in the cellar. It would be interesting to know. I installed 8 inch Goodmans Axiette 101 full range drivers into them. I filled the boxes with polyester wadding. I am quite sure that the edges of front baffles cause diffractions and colorate the sound, but I like the speakers anyway.

I did not want any filters. The only electronics in the speakers are the drivers, some wire and terminals.

For those who wonder what is in front of the drivers: It is a stainless steel wire mesh.

I scored a pair of interestingly-shaped cabinets on *Bay. Petroff Labs.
(Some Googling revealed they had never been anything that had set the world on fire.)
The veneer was in virtually perfect condition, though the woofers' and mids' surrounds had rotted. (They were nothing special anyway.) What was a real bonus was they were each fitted with a vintage Foster ribbon tweeter. A quick check confirmed the ribbons were A-OK.

What to do ...

I had seen - on the Planet 10 site (Thanks Dave!) - the plans for the Alegria Rosa TMM:

I also saw the Occam Audio site:
www.occamaudio.com/Products.html (refer to "Occam MTM". See also the box plan.)

I was encouraged to give it a go, and the results are pictured. (Excuse the untidy state, as I've not yet puttied, sprayed, etc.)

Four WR125ST's were obtained from Darcher Audio. (Thanks Dan!)

After a few hours burn-in, the sound is great!

Frugal-philes of the world rise up! :-)

Doug - Big box, might be good to explain what volume you reduced the innards to and what dia/length port you used?

Cheers- Phil
