Using it loosely and yes tried to throw everyone off (need to make the first clue tougher).And “Cornerstone”; singular... trying to throw us off the scent?
Now I can’t imagine the rest of the original parts are as easy to attain as these replicas, I will ask for thoughts on the following components:
Lows: 416 or 515? (Originals are unobtainable)
Highs: have 802D’s, there’s replica 801 Lansing’s, are they worth the try? 288’s are likely overkill...
Crossover: passive custom
Cabinets: debating on 9ply Baltic birch or more period correct CDX/ply, maybe basic birch?
802d are pretty nice. Barely different than the 8O2G to my ears.Now I can’t imagine the rest of the original parts are as easy to attain as these replicas, I will ask for thoughts on the following components:

Well I have 802D’s but they are green and my horns are black, as will be the cabinets....which means I’ll be looking for black drivers now.Maybe 808-8b? Cheaper than the 808-8g but pretty much the same once the loading caps are removed.
What about those black 808-8a’s for sale locally?Well I have 802D’s but they are green and my horns are black, as will be the cabinets....which means I’ll be looking for black drivers now.
Yes Sir, just like those.Like these?View attachment 23467
Got in the garage and let some dust fly. All but the back and inner baffle remain to be cut. Going to miter the panels together, because building cabinets isn’t hard enough.
Well I’m mitering all panels except the back, I figured it was overkill since it’s going to be removable and no one sees it normally.I've built a few that way, it can be a ton of fun fitting the back panel into 4 beveled edges. Anything worth doing, is worth over-doing
