So I finally placed an order last week for parts, and everything arrived today! I decided to go with the Nat P's since I was able to use PE's pre-built cabinet, and the crossover wasn't too crazy.
I worked on laying out the crossover this evening - just have to make sure I'll be able to fit it though the bracing to the back wall of the cabinet, and still leave room for the port's hole, before I mount and solder everything.
Read a neat trick about using a battery for a quick polarity test on the drivers, so I'll be doing that before I start wiring things up too.
Quick question: How much foam should I need for these? I went with the unshielded RS180's, which from what I read can be used as drop-in's, but need less volume in a ported enclosure. Does that mean less foam? Also, should I be using foam sheets on the sides of the enclosure, or stuffing?
I'll try to post some progress pictures tomorrow.
