I made a pair of boxes a few years back, but kind of lost interest in them. This last Christmas I was up in north fla visiting and I asked the director of a small church if they wanted a large movie screen and projector. She said "That be great for outside movies".
So when I got home I saw boxes in the corner and thought, they're going need sound, and I can get them out of my room and the reconed 417s I have too. Since I already had the cutouts for 931-12s. and I have a pair I got cheap, I could put eminence drivers In them and get rid of those too. I used an L pad and a 5500 high pass That setup sounded terrible. Almost no bass and the hf was,,,,,, odd.
I tried 419s and they sounded really good and decent bass. I had a pair of 902s that came from a pair of speakers I got.
And that was it. All I had to do was replace the l pads with resistors. After I got them together I tried them with my little test amp and I was surprised with what I ended up with. The bass and treble pots on my little test amp were right in the middle.
So I took the outdoor movie set back up to Newberry new years weekend. Carol was just thrilled. Now they're looking for a little warmer weather.
Now I'm building a set for myself. I really like the design. I'm going to try 414s in this set. If I don't like it I'll use my 412s.
