In the bottom pic (for APT80), I recommend undoing one of the inductors (pick one, do the same on both boards) off the board, and standing it upright, as well as rotating it 90 degrees.
You had it that way in your first pic, so use that as a reference.
The other 2 are fine, solder away...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

Ok Grant will do thanks for looking, I will solder away and use the first pic for the Apt 80 as reference standing the inductors up 90 degrees. I just want to let you know if the direction is right, the bottom Red/Blue lugs are from amp up arrow to drivers, correct?

Also Grant is it possible to do this cheap terminal 3 way lugs for the +1/-1 for NL 4 NL2 connector. All 3 positive attached in +1 and all 3 negative attached in -1.
Thank you for the help. :idea:

Yep, do that then!

Use NL4, +1 to the red connectors, -1 to the blue...

Ok Tom and Grant will do. Also if I don't like the sound of the tweeters can I put an L-Pad after the cab is finished with paint? I can manage to put a hole on the side of the cab for the mounting of the L-Pad. Also can I get away with just turning down some of the high frequency on the EQ. Thanks guys :idea:
