You should go and look at the cabinet volume spec for these drivers before you build, as if I recall right they need a tad less in regards to that then say, a K or E 140 JBL.
I have a copy of a question and answer session by the head designer durning the Hey days at JBL, and he said that in regards to the low frequencys drivers back then that the Aluminum dome added to them was more done more so for voice coil heat reduction than increasing frequency responce which it does to a larger degree with the guitar drivers!
The looks where just a side plus!
