    Slow Finalists Center and Anthologys Build

    So, I decided to build a couple of Jim and Curt's more recent speakers. PE has had RS225's and RS28F's on sale recently, combined with a bit of shopping spree action allowed me to get most of the parts I needed for very reasonable cost. As the title says, the build is likely going to be slow. I would like to get all three cabinets done before cold weather starts, but that remains to be seen.

    Because this thread is worthless without pictures, I'll start with this one:

    Scalloped the inner baffle behind the mids and 3/4 roundover behind the woofers. The dry fit is nice; if only I could get things glued together without pieces shifting around.

    It looks like you're off to a great start! I see beveled joints! Way above my cabinet making skills. :cry:

      I read the thread title and immediately thought of Jon's favorite quote. LOL

        There is nothing wrong with slow.
        3.0 mini statements took me from first cut on 5/28 to hook up in room of 12/23.

          Jax, that's a speedy build! My Ardent materials started arriving December 2014 and although I am listening, they are on temporary bases with external breadboard XOs while the final bases are being built.

            Progress!

            Crossovers are completed. I've looked them over repeatedly, pretty sure they're right. Flipped the picture of the underside to make it easier to make sense of wire routing.

            Hoping warm weather will hold out just a little longer so I can at least get the center cabinet finished.
