Welcome!

Great job, especially considering the lack of equipment.
If this is a one time thing, you at some point might do a proper speaker reconing and enjoy it.
If t is a beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and archaic electronic equipment, you might invest in a Variac, especially considering a 500kVA type is below $100. Mich more convenient and manageable than lightbulbs.
