Been searching the forum for clues to mount the crossover in the box. Glue to the rear baffle? Nest it in the fiberglass? Or...? I especially liked the one about embedding it in beeswax!
There's some scotch tape around the copper wound thingy. Is that for shipping and should be removed (it has a trailing end) or left alone?
I should probably read a book on speaker-building but I've spent a lifetime filling my head with cabinet-making and there's just so much room.
Ask me about ironing on veneer with your S.O.'s steam iron and yellow glue. Or why it's silly to use biscuits on a speaker cabinet. Or why not to use yellow PVA or polyurethane glue. How to make a plane or chisel "scary sharp" in 5 minutes, every time. Why your panels aren't square even with a properly set-up table saw. How to keep your laminate trimming bit free from gunk for $2.95. Go ahead, ask me.

I usually mount the crossover to the bottom of the box inside with screws, but sometimes I mount it on the inside back panel. You can make a gasket out of cardboard and mount the board flush or put it on standoffs. The tape on coils can be removed, but it isn't hurting anythiung so you can leave it there if you want.
