this is a nice looking build. I love it!! I have some of these little drivers and was gonna do a line array but this looks better. how do they sound?
Sound good you might want to think about porting them to get more bass. I should have used better tweeter for better highs
Look precise, beautiful. How’s the surround sound? It appears you used mid-bass drivers throughout, yet its the highs that create the surround presence and brilliance. Maybe coaxial drivers? They look so well built and precise that, well, the cabinets look awesome.
I always wanted to try this. I have had 2 sets of the 901’s and was always impressed with the impact they had mainly in the midrange. Looks great.
