Jamo D115 new cabinets

[thommio]

I recently bought some secondhand Jamo D115 for €10 because of the looks of the tweeter.

The cabinets are not my taste so i made an different design in SketchUp;

The volume of the cabinets are almost the same.

Ordered a universal holesaw that will be arriving soon. But i already started building the cabinets;

The rear will be removable so i can still reach the drivers.

Question: The big woofer isn't filtered, would it benefit the sound if i filter it with a filter a have laying around from a Wharfedale Delta 50?

Made some progress this weekend. The universal hole saw came in the mail so I could start making the speaker holes.

Still waiting on my chamferbit for the router. Will probably arrive this week. It will be used to chamfer de speaker holes.

Also sealed the tweeters from the woofer and added the bassport.

*Don't mind the dent in the dustcap. I will fix that soon 😀

Purdy!
What type of finish? Veneer?
No filter prob means they're letting the woofer inductance roll off the top end to mesh with the mid. Best to measure the woof to make sure theres no cone breakup near the x-over point. If so an inductor will help.

Realized I never posted the results. The paint finish still needs some sanding and polishing.

After all quite pleased with the results. And that all for only ~€15

Also did an impedance measurement;

Grand job.
Reckon you could be building one of these next.
