Well that's no backhanded compliment!

It's really getting better!

Really beautiful execution!

How do you like those handles? I had them on a couple of monitors I built maybe 20 years ago. I grew to hate them intensely, since they absolutely require two-handed carrying.

Thanks everyone,

I always take my work serious, when it comes to make it perfect I always want to make it as good as I can.
Thanks Bill for the complement! If you want you can get the picture in high resolution.

I know what you mean Rune, but a monitor can be lifted with one hand, but with this cab you can't.
I don't know how much it weights, but it ain't light!

It's been a long time ago since you heard something from me.
I've been busy and didn't have the time to go on with the project.

Now I'm allmost done with the second Jack 15.
I'm going to use them as a PA top, I know that's not what there designed for but I also
need them as full range occasionally.

In the future I'm planning to build some DR280's.
For now I'm allmost done and I'm waiting for the duratex to arrive.
Until this has arrived I already started with my titan's 48, I'll make a different build thread for those.

Here are some picures of the second Jack 15;











Every time someone asks about jack I tell them I've made them myself.
no one believes me until I show them the pictures of me building them.
The sound quality is really amazing!

Last night I've painted the cab, now I know why I hated painting so much..
However, it's finished now. This evening I will install the compression drivers.
I Hope that the 3015 driver and the filter components will arrive this week!

Here are some pictures;

Almost done!
Yesterday I've placed the horn with the compression driver's.
Now the only thing I have to do is waiting for the 3015 to arrive, this will be today and Then I will break the driver in and place it in the cab tomorrow.

Here is a picture without the horn;



Looks good to me!

Most people can't make anything, and can't conceive how someone else can. The first time one of my friends came over to my house and saw my kitchen cabinet doors, all solid oak raised panels, she didn't believe that I could have made them until I took her out to my workshop and showed her some of the leftover pieces.

its sad that such useful real-world skills are so distant from many people in the last 20 years or so...never having been exposed to such things to know if they could or not.


+1 to how clean this looks.

Most people are ignorant of the fact that most of the world's great inventions didn't come from large corporations and think tanks, they came from individuals or small groups of people working in garages or basements. The Wright brothers were originally do-it-yourselfers. So were Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Bill Gates. Or DaVinci, for that matter.

Sorry, but Thomas Edison was a thieving hack.
I agree with the others though.

Ryan Sober wrote: Sorry, but Thomas Edison was a thieving hack.

He didn't start off that way. He came up with many very worthwhile inventions on his own before he traded his lab coat for a business suit and became management, as eventually did all of those listed save DaVinci.

Excellent work, well done

Yesterday a package arrived!
It's the Eminence Kappalite 3015!



I've made a little setup in the livinroom where I broke the driver in.
It's been doing that all night and in a couple of hours it's done.



Here's a photo of my new driverack and Synq amp.



This evening I will install the driver and I hope the filter components arrive.
If so, I will wire the filters and finish Jack so I can go on on my Titan's 48!
