Bit of an update finished the boxes :-D and tested them they sound excellent over the moon with them but they don't play very low but iv got a little active sub to fill that in

Can anyone recommend me a program to see where the speakers cut off to help Decide crossovers to get for the high horns when I get them sorted going to get a DBX mic to use

Looking good, certainly a living room fixture. Try REW for measurements as a starter perhaps, it is free. But if you have a decent mic then any software that calculates an accurate enough FFT based on the input (play pink or white noise for all frequencies) will show you what is coming out of them.

Do away with the rear baffle if you're only using them for hifi. And move the rear baffle up further

Then fill the rear chamber loosely with Dacron

Lovely job,nice crisp finish too,very smart.

Cant help but wonder what they would sound like with a more up-market vintage driver,as opposed to your vintage Celestion twin-cone,im betting the ATC PA75 long-coil 12" would be a great one.
Be seeing you.
