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 assembled 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.
As for bracing, put a cross-brace in between the woofer and tweeter spanning front baffle to rear panel and side to side. Make them approximately 1" x 1/2" and long enough to fit snugly. We want to preload the panels without bulging them. They also serve as a place to put a sheet of insulation that spans the cross-section, sort of breaking the interior into two sections. Bass will pass right through but midrange and higher frequencies are trapped.
