Adhering the foam to the grills is an easy but messy process. You will need some space to work in, and yes use 3M77. You'll need an area away from the foam to spray the grills. I set up a few scrap wooden blocks on top of newspaper to rest the grills on. Why do that? Because if the grill is laying ...

It will fall down in a pile at the bottom.

Got it, thanks Bruce. Couldn't find bigger pieces, will have to do the splice trick you shared, thanks for that!

Thanks Bruce and Corona!

What's the downside to not adhering the foam to the grill? I guess if it is too thin (2 mm thick seems to be a norm) there won't be pressure from the speaker front to the foam. Hmmmm.

BTW, Bruce Weldy, love those Wedgehorns! After the T39's I can see what the next project will be!

I spliced it together when I built the WH10s. Tape it on the backside, spray the back of the grill with adhesive, then lay it on there. Put a piece of plywood big enough to cover the whole thing on it and put weight on top. See the bottom of the first page of this thread.. http://billfitzmaurice.in...

For the foam, go to the hardware store and get room air conditioner air filters. Yeah, I checked at our local Ace. 15" by 24", 4 inches shy. Will go to a fabric or foam store in the next few days… updated pics…. photo 1.JPG photo 2.JPG Need to paint the screw heads black. I got the grills...

Seems you missed the March 1st deadline - LOL. I didn't see it in the thread anywhere, what woofers are you using? LOL indeed :loler: for March 1, I cobbled together two different systems and the group said it was great sound. I told them next year would be far superior! Woofers are the Eminence Al...

Bucked convention and stained these puppies. First coat was purple dye and then cherry stain and I got close to my desired result color wise: burgundy! Sadly my staining skills are not great and it isn't the most even job, but in darkened rooms I think they'll be fine. Worse case, I'll re-sand and d...

Got all the tops and bottoms on, routed edges, filled and sanded, tweets screwed and caulked in. Woofers in one cab. At Orchard Supply Hardware today, look what I found…. kwikmesh.jpeg This could be a great speaker grill, very fine mesh, but I think it is open enough. not heavy. Thoughts?? Available...

I have worked on the cabs, just busy in other ways. A quick picture for a question: 3 cabs are stuffed as shown but I am wondering do I need to put any polyfill on the inside of the front baffle? (The Alpha magnets will not be touching the polyfill) stuffing.jpg I did the stuffing before I added top...

Thanks Jools!

Well, i kept it quite literal. Next time though, I'm buying the completed crossovers from Leland. My abilities with soldering are minimal to none. Was up til three the other night soldering. I have better uses for my time!

I'll try to get a picture posted here soon. So close!

Thanks Chris! Never done a crossover before, wondering if this looks right before I solder? Image.jpg My uncertainty is if pieces are too close together or anything. Looking at the picture I realize there are no labels! :wall: Bottom left is to jack neutral and bottom right is jack positive. The res...

Did some work in the last few days, mostly today....

Thanks for bringing up the plaster lath idea, David. I will have to see if I can find that locally. While very inexpensive, $7 a sheet?, it is fairly flexible and could catch fabric, skin and other things. A local contractor gave me the idea. Another idea is "Hardware Cloth" about 1/2 inc...

braces.jpg Nothing big, just glued and nailed the back braces to the center braces... The PL is a trip, just keeps oozing out. Will cut tops and bottoms tomorrow if the sun shines, drill and cut out tweets and alpha drivers. Larger assembly Monday? Chris, the aesthetics don't bother me, but the I w...
