Anyways, update on this project. Well I screwed myself. If you notice on the original T/S parameters I posted, there's no test lead calibration figure.๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ New laptop, hadn't used the DATS on it yet. ...and I wondered why some of the parameters were off so much.๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
After calibration:
Now the electrical Q is definitely closer, but now I see how worn in the suspension is by the Qm,Fs,and Vas are. Oh well, it still sounds fine, yeah the box could have been adjusted to favor the new specs, but all is not lost. Amplifiers have EQ knobs๐
I'm a sucker for the light wood and exposed plys. Love it!
Any plans for a grill? Maybe a couple of those long stainless bar cabinet handles to straddle the driver could provide some additional bumper action while not looking too out of place..
Got the tube unit up and running again. Man, this thing is bad ass. I never would have ponied up for a new or used one, but aquiring it the way I did, I'm really impressed. Teamed up with this JBL, it's as total old school cool as it gets.

How goes the tolex covering ? Did you decide on the speaker grill?
Right now, black tolex and some sorta red/oxblood color grill cloth. None of that will happen till the weather isn't so shitty.

Never heard of "Badwe" amps before - is it of South African manufacture?
It's and upside down ampeg. I can't tell if your joking?
Don't feel bad, I didn't get the upside down Ampeg either
It looks really great, BTW.
Badwe! ๐
Chalk up another one who saw Badwe.
First song done with the Ampeg and JBL units. Happened after watching a bunch of old skateboard videos.
