I built some Docero towers a while back, and while I was pleased with the result, I don't have room for them any more. After considering my options, I decided to pull the components and build a bookshelf set of Doceros.
The drivers were not going to come out easily, but after a bit of head-scratching I came up with a good solution: I tapped one of the mounting holes, threaded in a long bolt, grabbed the bolt with some pliers, and bumped the pliers with a mallet. No drama at all--worked like a charm:
I gave away the bare cabinets on Craigslist. The guy that picked them up was pretty excited, which made me happy to give them away 😄
Humble beginnings here! I like to make the bottom removable for easy access to the crossover and binding posts, so I created a flange to screw the bottom to. I bought some gasket material and laminated it to the flange to seal it up:
I think this shows the general idea:
I'm trying to use up materials I have on hand, and doing pretty good so far. I have some veneer and hardwood in my stash that will work nicely for this project, but I'm just trying to figure out what order of operations I want to use for everything now. Life is busy these days, so I won't finish quickly, but for some reason making speakers is one of my favorite workshop activities.
Thanks for looking!
