I started a new job last week, so progress will be a bit slow as I ramp up in my new role. I did get to spend a bit of time today working on "little" stuff.
This is a shot of the cabinets as I left them from last weekend. Haven't done anything with them this past week except put a block of MDF over the hole that is visible on the left tower at the bottom of the cabinet. I'm doing the same thing with the towers and center that I did with the Monitors. I've cut square holes in the back of each cabinet and then covered them with a piece of MDF so that the binding posts are "sunk" down below the surface.
One of my braces I got a bit too happy with the power sander and took a bit too much material off the brace. I mixed up some MDF dust and glue to create my own "wood filler". It is as hard as a rock! Seems to have done the job pretty well.
The center is at about the same stage as the towers. Still quite a bit more work to go!
Any thoughts on crossover placement?
I used a piece of MDF glued to the cabinet as a mounting block for the woofer circuit. I did this on the towers as well, but it is easier to see on the pic of the center. I chose to do this so that there was more material to "bite" into with screws. I wanted the extra material because of the weight of the woofer circuit. They'll be mounted with deck screws, pilot holes drilled, of course.
And the Mid/tweet cavity lined with foam. I cut out sections of foam around the crossovers.
