    I usually put photos on my own web server if I can't use space on a forum's own server.

    I hate when photobucket, image shack etc images disappear from old posts. I thought the idea was to create a semi-permanent archive.

    For example, this very thread has some rare and useful information compiled in it. It would be a shame if it disappears.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response !

    Did some modifications:

    1. Adjusted the front baffle so it fits the 604E?s.
    2. Added 3/4 inches to the side panels. (I?m not any good at Vb and so on - If I?m off please let me know)
    3. Added brackets on both sides + additional bracket between front baffle and rear panel.

    Does anybody out there know the dimensions on the side brackets in the original 612C?
    Should I put in the bracket that goes across the whole enclosure ( one of my first questions ) ?

    I will use GPA?s crossover and will probably use a pair of monoblocked Quad 303?s as power amps.

    Do you have the tools to determine the TS parms for your 604Es?
    All you need is a signal generator and a voltmeter to do the old-fashioned way.
    Something like WT2 or DATS makes things simpler.
    Then you can do the math to determine your Qts and Vas, and from those two, you can get Vb.
