Difficult to assemble? I have reasonable woodworking skills. Is the XO included in the kit?
You've got mail! Kits include the speaker drivers, the connector panel, hook up wires, "π" logo decal and a printed copy of the plans. For larger speakers that incorporate a compression tweeter and crossover network, kits also include the crossover, Zobel woofer damper, and all cable assemblies are completed and ready to install. Every kit containing a compression driver also includes the horn flare and the bolts to mount the driver to the horn.
Thanks Wayne Pdf is my take on the insulation placement within the towers. Is the insulation glued in place? Are the panels butt, rebate, or biscuit joined? Regards Bert
How you build depends on the tools and clamps you have but this is what I do, using braces cut on the same saw setting as the tops and bottoms to square it up. No fasteners, just Titebond and Butt Joints. I just use dabs of glue to hold the insulation in place but I usually have to "convince" some pieces to stay put with 1/4" staples.
Is insulation placed in towers as illustrated in my drawing?
