sound like a plan ???

in a few weeks --with luck --these gorgeous 9 1/2" white grills should arrive --
thats the easy part

this dual 550 was designed by retro --a while back -
always loved this look-

so --the project is :::
to make an outer case - like this stretched 550 -with the biggie white grills-

for the inside -- i have a skanky// beater 931 - with some very strong bass-
which might sound pretty good in there .
would prefer a beater m70 inside --the top controls will be SOOOO much better for a clean front case design-

anyone want to sell a beater // working m70 ??

any other or better ideas ?
all i will have to start with - are the white grills

will report back here in 1/2 year when/if this actually gets real

 

[redbenjoe]

while waiting for the white woof grills
and WAITING |-) |-) for the $100 beater m70

here is one possible plan/ mock-up for the corners and frame construction -

the goal is to have a very solid looking // durable case -

but adding no more than 3 pounds = total

A stereo Diablo would be friggin' awesome.

That dual diablo design is absolutely awesome! If JVC would have made something like that in 78-80.....what do you think the pricetag would have been??

 

[redbenjoe]

m90 plus 50%

 

[bklyn sound]

gotta see this go ira

 

[redbenjoe]

here is a pre-pre-pre drawing --
but the basic design is shown -

the front view will be very clean looking -
as ALL the controls will be on the top panel = M70

size = 28 " x 14 "
woof grills = 10 "

in a short while -
lots of mock-up shots will be posted -
for opinions

 

[redbenjoe]

for starters - here is the striped down proportional model --

anybody like / love / hate the matching hardware ??

(the 'real' jvc 550 side bars may be $$ impossible to acquire)

 

[redbenjoe]

add a tuner and a few meters

 

[redbenjoe]

last mock-ups -
other than adding chrome trims around the 4 speaker grills and the tuner//meter glass

THIS is the design ..

so -- tell me what you honestly think --- like REALLY
1. abort
2 continue

at this early point --i have no irreversible $$ funds into this project -
so it would be harmless to forget it-
but a mofo to actually MAKE IT !!!

I like it but you are still crazy!


You really don't want the M70 meters I have?

 

[redbenjoe]

CRAZY is a main ingredient for making oddball products
------------------------

where can i buy chrome trim rings for the 9 1/2 " woofs
and the 2 " tweets

????

tried to google them -- no luck

 

[blu_fuz]

I have no idea who can make you those speaker trim rings you want

------------------------

joe - i know you can --
but i didnt want to bother anyone with ' custom $$ work '
just hoping to luck out and find some 'stock' rings

 

[blu_fuz]

Cool man, thanks for keeping me out of your madness ......... for now

 

[Ghettoboom767]

Looks very cool Ira!!
That would be insane-a dual 10"'woofer Diablo style!!

 

[Matrixambience]

I think its bad ass!
