Finally put the University UC-123 co-axials I got from Dave M several years ago at the CAF flea market into some cabinets.... Not half bad...

The construction was pretty easy, I just put new front baffles on old Altec model 15 cabinets ;) I may even stain the baffles at some point...

Nice. Pretty soon you will have some type of Altec A5 setup, similar to what you had 10 years ago! :D

They're still around. The University UC-123s sounded pretty good on the open baffle with a 15" woofer crossed over at about 65Hz.
