planet10, your trash is my treasure.

Saved the boxes from Dave's bonfire.
RS 1354 EnABLed running full range with a little tweeter from Jesse on a 1.5mfd cap and 10 ohm resistor.
Eastech 5.25" on the back running full range in series with the RS. (12ohm total)
Reckhorn W-130 woofer either side in series (8 ohm total) with a 6.2 mH choke.
Two sets are paralleled.

Sounds pretty good. Might have to bring these to the island this year.

I guess this is a FAST with a cheater tweeter?

They are a little power hungry but when you give them the juice, they really open up. The neighbours are away so I kinda let my hair down. The Reckhorns need some break in time but having just listened to an hours worth of bass heavy music these little babies, with the bottom firing port open, are very reminiscent of a 70's party speaker. Cerwin Vega / Realistic Mach I kinda thing. (read: high Q, warm bass)

With the "stick a sock in it" aperiodic loading, the bass is very controlled. Almost PA-ish. Nice chest thump.

I guess the port can be left open for outdoor use and closed for in the bedroom.

Man these are fun!

Lovin the coil lashed to the stool. Looks like some of my combos. I just discovered how handy a Niles type speaker switcher can be, including the effect of the "protection circuit" resistance on the sound. Makes for quick comparisons with only half the wire nuts in some cases.

Whose place are those pics taken at, Cal? I see floor and... drywall

Cheers!

Ha, it took all I had to resist those cabs. Good thing I took some open baffles. They're flat
