    I was thinking of using a Bozak 302a French Provincial cab, if I don't like the sound of the Bozaks in them.

    Assuming 5.0 cuft., and employing 124A parameters, it's too large for closed-box alignment. You run out of cone excursion at a relatively high frequency (35.11 Hz, top, red).

    Tuning to 26 Hz with 1 x 4" x 6.44" long port, you're good to 20.54 Hz (-10 dB, bottom, black), where it's also displacement limited. It'll retain L100's boomy bass, but play lower. Use an infrasonic (highpass, aka subsonic, aka rumble) filter at 20 Hz to protect the drivers:

    123A-1's in 3 cubic ft sealed!

    Sounds like something I want to try in the near future.

    Great thread, there's some info I can use here!

    Just have to pick the mid/tweets and crossover to go with it.

    Thanks, Ron

    Yup, they worked in the closed-port L88s pretty good, so I'm gonna drag some Barons up from the dungeon to try. You can bet I'll jump on the next "distressed" L100t/t3 I encounter, too.

    Easy. 2452H-SL on PT waveguide, NL200t3.

    O.K., O.K., BMS 4552nd on the JBL $10 waveguide, then, 3120A to start....

    Viscounts, instead. Better for stacking horns on top.

    Gotta make baffle adapters; these are cut for a single 15".

    Alas, no stilettos, but these inverted obelisks aren't bad looking in person.

    [If they work, they'll look even better in JBL Monitor Blue.... ]
