Cab Sizes - L101 vs. L99

[Zilch]

They're tuned to 35.5 Hz. Maybe I give 'em a little "bump" there and see what they sound like.

As is, they're pretty impressive.

Sound better with B380's runnin', for sure....

If there is someone who lives within driving distance of Santa Rosa and wants to put this advice into use, I happen to have a set of badly abused L-55 cabinets available. Actually, they don't look too bad from the front. Send a PM, then come get em.

Last chance before I have to break these up for the dumpster. I really need the space. The grills and glass tops are included, but no drivers, crossovers, or emblems.

[Zilch]

NO! NO!

Donate them to SCIENCE!

Alas, I have no way to haul 'em.

Can I tempt you to drag them down here with the promise of hearing Hotrod S99's, Mini-Everests, and Q&D 4430's?

[Real 4430's, too?]

[Don C]

That first pic made them look better than they look in person.

[Zilch]

O.K., well, you don't get to hear the REAL 4430's then, but the rest of the offer stands....

Don C's L-55's are diminutive floor-standers in comparison to L200 (rear). Special thanks to Johnaec for snagging these for experiment. With a little cabinet work, they'll be quite nice with glass or travertine marble tops.

And their sculptured grilles will look VERY cool in JBL Monitor Blue.

BB6P says the stock tuning is 40 Hz (blue), but suggests they are near optimum size for hi-fi tuning of LE14A to 32 Hz using one 3" port, 6.25" long (orchid). Beefing up the damping with more insulation will improve them, too.

Shown in photo with 2342 biradial, my first thought is a 4425 clone, easily accomplished. The existing holes in the baffle make reconfiguration somewhat difficult; the crossover was in front at top, too, looks like.

Also, maybe, Project Array configuration via DDS vertical format horn.

Tractrix anyone?

Ideas welcome here....
