hi
already have the answer,
two mission 710 cabs .
very solid , nice veneer, thick internal wall damping, all for a pound with tweeters thrown in.
If I had to buy wood and make the cabinets the project would never get started.

PR on the sides or the backs. If you put them on the sides, mirror them. Your room will tell you which is better, inside or out, try it both ways.

To be on the top a PR needs to be specifically designed for it. A PR is a mass loaded cone and the B139 being designed for vertical mounting would sag to death quickly if mounted on the top.

Hi Dave,
below is a pic of the cab I'm using.
I'ts 520 x 290 x 245 H W D.
I'm using a big magnet B200 and the Mission tweeter(temporarily).
As they are mirrored which side would you suggest I put the B139 radiator on and whether in the middle, top, or bottom of the side.
They will be stand mounted.

cheers

The tweeter looks like an old H107 Seas to me.

Flip a coin is as good an answer as any... i'd put it on the side oppisite the tweeter and i'd space it closer to the bottom using the Golden Ratio.

cheers Dave,
invaluable advice, as I'm pretty much in the dark here.
Remind me please, what is the golden ratio?

Hi-now one assumes you know what the "Golden ratio" is !
