- Enclosure Construction & Assembly -

Many thanks to my good friend Wayne Wendel for constructing the gorgeous piano black finish enclosures. I am told the enclosures are simple to build and a pair can easily be made from a single sheet of 3/4" MDF. To further dampen side panel resonance, two dowel type braces were added behind the drivers. The enclosure width is 7-1/2" with a 3/8" round-over on all sides. Height was arbitrarily limited to 36" in keeping with the compact nature of the design, but could be easily modified to accommodate a range of optimum listening heights. The cabinet's depth is 14-1/4". Acoustic foam was applied to the enclosure above and behind the drivers. The crossover was attached on the angle of the fold directly below the terminus.

I used polyfill to stuff the lines, but you can use fiberglass, Acousta StufT, or whatever strikes your fancy. I found that a light to medium fill behind the drivers and a medium to heavy fill from below the drivers to the terminus gave the best response for my preference in my own listening environment. Start out with moderate amounts of filling material per enclosure and stuff to taste.
