Update, unfortunately I currently don't have the funds for the plate amps. Those will have to go on hold for a while along with the covers for the bottom cabs. Initial testing tells me that the top cabs play loud and clear, bass is tight and punchy but can go quite low (Top cabs alone would probably keep most people happy lol) Vocals are very crisp and not too bright, but very revealing of the recordings. So far I'm happy with how they sound but not quite the sound I was originally after... I'm currently getting pricing from different machine shops to get some aluminum rings machined for the tweeters and woofers, going for a look similar to the rings on these Canton's:
Almost done! (These things are monsters lol, I haven't weighed them but I'm guessing that they are about 80-100lbs each)
Oh yeah, these aren't final placement for them... I have to find room.
