Maybe I'll shove those EV's in them and dump them on craigslist.

Greg is Da Man!!!! Him and OldGuy said go big and they were 100% right!!! I actually think I'm shaking because they sound so good.

Yeah, we really are incredibly fortunate to have GM's expertise on this forum. He's given me invaluable assistance on multiple occasions..... We're also really fortunate to have this forum at all thanks to Todd. I've learned so much here in the almost three years I've been here. Lots of very knowledgeable people with a real passion for great speakers and music who have a very helping nature.....

Now I gotta go watch those Saturday night live clips you posted they sound like some funny stuff. OMG!!! he should have done a Ted Nugent one too when he had that chin spinach on!!! LOL

I was literally laughing out loud at those clips. Zoolander gets the word "tourists" confused with the word "terrorists" for one....

That's fantastic news. It's always an amazing feeling when you "hit paydirt" on a project like this (especially after multiple cabinet attempts and the mismatch with the Heathkit cabs). I had a feeling from your description of the sound that those modified Heathkit cabinets were never appropriate/suitable for your 604's.....

Yes I can totally tell a huge difference, before when I'd put on a Married with children to lisen to while I sleep I would have to turn it up so I could hear what they were saying. But when the theme music was playing it was wayy louder. Last night the theme music and their voices during the show were all the same level. so much nicer now.

Roll up some towels and wedge between the back edges and wall.

FWIW, doing a quick calculation......... hard up against a 1/2" baseboard, it appears to have a ~68.25"^2 area vent and due to wall loading, my swag is a several inch long effective vent, so ignoring some strong reflections off the wall back to the driver that's bound to be audibly modulating them in the lower mids similar to what one gets with an Onken alignment [if he hasn't installed any damping 'blanket' discussed earlier], I figure they're tuned around 34-36 Hz like one too.

Ideally though, a lower tuning is desirable, so experimenting with some towels or similar to reduce the vent area and damping the wall if need be sounds like a good plan to me.
