Puffin, you are very welcome
I just checked your posts out on Wammers for your build. I had no idea you had so much trouble getting the sound up to speed mate.
Did you locate the probem in the end was it the altered xovers.[/QUOTE]
Hi Dave,
Sorry for the late reply, have not checked in for a while. It came down to couriers damaging the units on two occasions so picked them up by hand and they are now fine thankfully.
Although i was happy with them i am building some more from BB birch to see how the materials used effects the sound, the front horn lips in to the drive unit a bit further a kin to the originals and i have spent a long time laminating the curved sections with a vacuum press and former which means they can be veneered with a vacuum press as they are not built in to the cabinet, they have to be machined on all 4 sides but with a few jigs and patience they fit perfectly.
Anyway Happy Xmas all,

Had to build jigs for a few parts but this is the one to add 11 degrees onto my saws max. of 46 to get the necessary fit for the flat sides of the horn.

The pics show parts dry fitted.
