I finished this earlier this Summer for use at a couple of Festivals.
The mids and top drivers are from some old JBL cabs and the Subs are Tham15s.
Runs off three 2400 Macrotechs and a DCX.
Sounds super sweet like a big HiFi

Oak Veneer MDF mid cabs with solid corners simmed on winisd for the JBL 2226G.




Fender style Oxblood stripe grill cloth.

Prepping my old Thams for recovering.


Filling in the handles.


Covering in Fender style Tolex Tweed.



Metal bracket to attach Subs to mids.


Metal Tripods for Tweeters finished in vintage wrinkle black.



The whole lot together


Finally in our venue.
My Tinnitus is coming along nicely!!

Nearly all Vinyl, mostly easy listening and Jazz with some Funk & Soul but we also had a Glam rock Heavy metal DJ for our Air Guitar and crowd surfing competition!

Nice 1. Look real good.

Better than the basic poles/sticks or whatever you call them, in my opinion.

...i assume you was playing death-metal....



Lol. Dude, that is a seriously beautiful system! That is love and care put into a system. I envy your dedication. I wouldnt even want to take it out is so beautiful. I'd give you a massive pat on the back and buy you a beer if i could just for the dedication.
If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.
