Howdy Oliver 🙂
Thanks for the information. I'll try to learn that.
I am not a speaker guy (clearly), I repair computers and build arcade machines. But once I built a big server computer for a customer and he was a speaker builder, a self proclaimed "audiophile". His name was Dana Crooker and he built giant speakers the size of refrigerators. I had never seen anything like that before and was amazed. He was into building Altec Horns for theater if I recall. He gave me the plans and some parts and I built a small Altec cabinet myself years ago. It still fills my basement workshop with tunes 🙂
I happen to have a photo of Dana's "smallest" speakers, it was taken around the time I joined here :
Ever since then I've found speaker building interesting and I occasionally come over to this forum. I am impressed by the wonderful works I see here !
OK, that's my story 🙂
Cheers!

Hi SpyStyle,
Don't know how we got from piezo tweeters to Voice of the Theatres and Altec 511 horns (still one of my favorites), but great picture.
Good luck with your project.

It's my back-story 🙂
And here is the Altec cabinet I built back then too 🙂
Dana had given me the plans, the driver, and the horn. What a nice fella 🙂
Anyway, as advised I am letting the calking dry with the drivers out of the cabinets. I think it will take a week.
I also found some other parts he gave me, a JBL crossover mostly intact. I suppose I can use the coils for the woofers 🙂
OK have fun!
