Well you can get the point of the sound on these, but sorry for the wind noise. The speakers have another gig this Sat with a full band, I'll get better footage.

My part of the gig was at 9 am, so I felt comfortable wearing pjs. My friend Ryan is the live looper with all the pedals and tricks, including an octave thing to sound like a bass.

We are all impressed with these so far. Crisp and warm, the sub is smooth and thumpy.

The board is an Allen and Heath pa12, amp carvin 4 channel with the drive built in. I made both guitars as well as the speakers and mixer case.

edit: I just read the sticky about inferior videos. I know these are not great, if they should be deleted that is fine. I do realize now though that I should post what it was recorded with to give perspective, this is a Sony HDR-MV1 which is the musician's camera with nicer mics.

We really love these speakers and I enjoyed this project for the well done plans and the incredible result.

I really like that natural finish.

I don't know if it's an optical illusion, but that T39 looks very deep.

The camera is a fixed wide angle so there is distortion from the lens. The T 39 is 1/16" under spec in depth, so just a tiny bit small. The natural finish matches my guitars and is part of my "thing" as a style, no logo on the guitars is also part of the style.

What drivers did you use in the SLA Pros?

Sorry for the several year delay, they are the 5" drivers 5w-8 eminence. They still kick butt, loud and clear, but the best part for me is that they can be soft and clear. I personally play dinner music, I can fill a room with sound and still leave plenty of space for people to converse.
