    Notches are for the spade connectors to hook up the wires. Jigsaw or router is fine.

      Ah! That makes sense. Thanks Dennis. I'll have to examine a tweeter up close and personal.

      I have only built a sub to date, with the connectors easily accessible from the rear.

        I used a 3/8" bit and drilled a pair of holes side-by-side for each "ear", then filed out the remainder. Worked well for me and reduced the danger of me screwing something up on the baffle while freehanding a router or jigsaw.

        Make sure you have the tweeter mounting holes aligned exactly the way you want them before cutting the ears.

          Sounds nice and easy to me! What the catch?

          Thanks for the tip.

            Can you say, inexpensive Mission Accomplished dipole?
            by Mazeroth
            I was wondering if there is a demand out there for a Mission Accomplished thread for a low-budget dipole speaker? I’m sure there are some folks out there, like myself, which would love to have a dipole speaker that sounds great and is inexpensive to build. My only concern is if we were to design a...

            by Cool Mr Steve
            I've been looking into taking on the challenge of either the Modula MTM 1 design or possibly the Natalie P. Both designs look similar to me, though, and I was curious where the differences were. I noticed quite a large difference in price which looked like it was because of the more expensive crossover...

            Modula MT Stands?
            by Cool Mr Steve
            I've been looking into starting on my Modula MT's soon, and I'd like to build the cabinets first. Does anyone have any examples of the stands they have built for speakers such as these? I saw a couple I was into on the Modula MT Mission Accomplished page, but I'd like to see more if anyone has any other...

            How is this front setup?
            by Bri
            Hi all, I'm planning on building some Modula MTMs from the Mission Accomplished section and am considering building a third one for the center and using it upright instead of building a horizontal design. I drew the setup I am considering in Google Sketchup as shown below, pretty much to scale. The...
