You're welcome. This is why Bill recommends putting the crossovers on two separate boards, so you dont have to worry about this..

Arrange them like this:

Do you think if I stand up the small coil for the tweeters that will be suffice? There's a ton of hot glue holding the big one in.

Actually I just realized thats a stupid question lol

Hah! I guess I read that to fast, I didnt realize you were talking about medium density fiber board. Yes this is foam, its supposed to help midrange response according to Bill.

I did mine at 30HZ, most use 10 volts.

Yep, +1. I use 10v @ 30Hz for 8-12 hours.

LMAO! If only it was that easy! Testing piezos is a draining experience. Constantly hearing pink noise through this things just knocks you out.
