David > Woofer Crosover. On the Tweeter Crossover, One stack of caps is : Solen Met. - Poly, + Dayton Film - Foil + Theta Film - Foil. The other is : Solen Met. - Poly and Theta Film - Foil. All internal wires are my 12 AWG " PG " OFC Copper from PE, just because I had a large spool and because it looks so pretty !
David > More of the same ! I had no router, and didn't want to buy one, so, all holes were cut with a 21", parrallel - arm Scroll - Saw from : " P S Wood Machines " in Bethel Park, PA. I cut the inner, MDF hole a bit larger in diameter, so that the poor Peerless wouldn't think it was in a tube ! Ten holes to cut on each speaker - box, ( counting the two on the front 1/8" ply overlay ) !! HOWEVER : TOTAL MDF DUST : 1/2 Teaspoon !!!
David > Speakers " Popped - Out " for you ! Those four little , square pieces of masking - tape just say " T " + " W " etc. I got a bit dizzy with all the " PLUS " and " MINUS " ends, while connecting the wires from the crossovers to the speakers and to the Terminal Block ! Everything soldered, using my 50' spool of " PG " 12 AWG wire from PE. Ends of wires on the Terminal - Block, however, have round lugs from Radio Shack.
David > Tweeter crossover. Crossovers were built on separate boards, because, due to all my by - pasing etc., it seemed too crowded on one board !! BUT, I couldn't stack them on the bottom, because no matter which way I layed them, the coils ended up on top of each other ! So, I put one on each side. Held down with glue, and 8 brass screws, as large as the peg - board holes would take. They aren't going anywhere ; but, if I want to " Tweak " , I have to do all soldering through the Woofer Hole !
David > Bottom / Top. 3/4" MDF on the inside of front and back. A lady / Pilot friend sold me a half - sheet of veneered Birch plywood for $ 20. All the MDF I needed came from a piece about 6' or 8' tall and 12" wide, from Lowes. Had a half - round on one edge. Cost just $7 ! The tan - colored MDF on the inside, is glued and screwed to the outer - plywood with six , # 12 x 1 1/4" brass screws. Should be there forever !!
David > Three holes in the side are for dowel cross - braces. 5/8" diam Three of them = one square inch ; ( almost. ) Holes very slightly tapered. Ends of dowels cross - wedged at the time they were glued in.
David > Rear. Port and Terminal Block from PE. Just an accident , but note the grain - pattern on the side : Doesn't it look like sound - waves fanning - out from a point beside the Terminal - Block ?
David > Same as above, but on black velvet !
David > Front. All screws are # 12 Brass, 2 1/2" or 3". Left in to provide mass / stiffness to the sides / top + bottom. Kind of like re - bars in Concrete !!
