I E-bayed the driver an 801C and got the schematic and inductor d4rawings from JBL. Had to wind LI as it was a multitap. The speaker is an 811C clone. The box is a little smaller but the crossover and tunning are close to the original.

Hi Don

Thanks!! Sound's very nice. I can see why the Urie's were popular. They have very good transient response and vocals are clear and clean. I don't know if its the time align or the drivers or both but percusion sounds are really natural sounding. Very impressive with good sound tracks. The Fifth Element is a real treat! Makes for one big center speaker though!! :)

Very nice indeed! I bet it sounds most excellent. Look at that crossover will ya? And nuttin wrong with a clone either. Nizzzzzze Gotta luv building yourself to achieve superior results. One can make things that you just couldn't buy at a reasonable price.

I am getting hungry to build more speakers! :dammit:
Now have the wood shop needed to do my own cabinets this time too. Thanks to my new retired neighbor. You see, he buys this property next to me. Adds a big ole garage. Then he stuffs it with all his wood working tools that he brought from CA. I am like total heaven cause he said anything was at my disposal. What a bud eh?

Thanks WildWest building your own does have advantages. Sound like the saws in your neighbors garage will be cutting some wood soon!


Hey Thor sure no problem man!! We can put the CV next to the Jbl's and see how many of the neighbors widows we can break:cool:

That would be some fun!!!!
