- Page 3 Assembly manual Step 2 - Base and Side Panels The front and rear panels have circular cut outs for drivers, port and terminals. Lay out the side panels as shown. Apply glue to the trench around the perimeter of the front baffle.
- Page 4 Assembly manual Apply glue to the edge of the top and bottom panels as shown above. Now assemble the side and top panels, aligning the rail on the edge of the top with the trench in the side panel, as shown below.
- Page 5 Assembly manual The smaller side panel goes on last. Before proceeding, check that: there is adequate glue visible along each join the panels align correctly Wipe off any excess glue with a damp rag.
- Page 6 Assembly manual Step 3 — Fix crossover on back panel Screw on the crossover board to the rear panel. It can be done after assembling the box but it’s easier to do it now. Two sets of pilot holes are provided – it doesn’t matter which you choose. The orientation is also not important.
- Page 7 Assembly manual Apply glue to the trench around the perimeter of the back panel. Avoid the temptation to use more glue than you see here – you will simply waste glue and spend more time cleaning up. Press the back panel into place ensuring that each corner aligns. Wipe off excess glue.
- Page 8 Assembly manual Step 4 — Clamping One of the benefits of this kit is that neither clamping nor biscuit joins are required, making assembly simpler. However, one may optionally choose to use clamping. Clamping offer the benefit of slightly improved alignment of panels and potentially better joins. This is more important when using a painted finish.
- Page 9 Assembly manual Before clamping, make sure each edge is carefully aligned - a little care here will ensure the best result. Once you have clamped the box, ensure you wipe off any excess glue that has been squeezed out. Once the glue has dried remove the clamps. To obtain a smooth finish, lightly sand the edges of the panels with a fine grade sandpaper, about 180 grit works best.

- Page 11 Assembly manual Above: Damping is being pressed into place. Step 6 – install the ports Now press the ports into place. The fit is quite firm so there is no need to glue them in place.
- Page 12 Assembly manual Step 7 – install the tweeter The tweeter terminals are easy to find as they are the only pair of white cables. The spade connectors are different sizes to ensure that the tweeter polarity is correct. Connect the pair of white cables to the tweeter terminals. If you find they are too tight, avoid undue force that could damage the tweeter terminals.
- Page 13 Assembly manual Above: here we are carefully prizing open the spade connector. Use care when installing screws. We recommend screwing by hand rather than using a powered driver of any kind. These devices can cause over-tightening or the tool can slip off and puncture a driver with the tip.
- Page 14 Assembly manual Step 8 – install the woofers The cables that remain are for the woofers. Pull the longer cable out the hole that is furthest from the crossover board. Both woofers share the same crossover network, so it doesn’t matter which cable goes to which woofer, except that one pair of cables is longer.
- Page 15 Assembly manual Fix the woofers into place. Note how the screw driver is braced with the other hand. Wire up the speaker to your amplifier and you‘re ready to rock!
