Page 3: Enclosure Assembly
Enclosure Assembly: First, take the back panel and cut or drill holes required for the speaker termination of your choice (binding posts, terminal cup, Speakon, etc…). Next, set the enclosure parts out on a flat level surface and ensure that all pieces are free of dust and debris. - Page 5 Make sure all mating surfaces are flush with each other and clamp glued joints together. Using a damp rag or paper towel, wipe away any glue squeeze-out on the outside of the enclosure (excess glue on the inside is fine). Allow to dry according to the glue manufacturer's recommendations and remove clamps.
- Page 6 Glue front baffle on being careful to line up all edges. Make sure the port opening in the rear is at the top of the enclosure (behind the tweeter opening). Repeat step 4. Sand and finish enclosure to your liking. See our web page for examples. Note: For the baffle only version of this kit, build your enclosure to the following dimensions.
- Page 7 Crossover assembly: Arrange the components as illustrated in the point-to-point wiring diagram above so the leads can be connected together as shown. Take careful note of the component type and the value of the component. (The crossover schematic is provided at the end of this assembly guide.) If you would like, the crossover can be mounted to a scrap piece of wood or cardboard using hot glue to make handling it a little easier.

11) Finally, cut one length of 2-conductor speaker wire approximately 6"-8" in length, and label the length of wire "Input". Final Assembly: 12) Insert crossover through woofer hole and glue crossover to the bottom of the enclosure (polyurethane glue, high temperature hot glue gun, or epoxy is recommended). Ensure all crossover components are securely held in place to prevent rattles. - Page 9 Additional parts used: 260-309 Gold Recessed 5-Way Banana Speaker Terminal Rectangle 081-422 #8 x 3/4" Deep Thread Pan Head Screws Black 100 Pcs.
