Don't worry about that little mistake. It's your first project and it is quite normal to make such mistakes. When I started woodworking I would have to scrap complete projects for stupid mistakes. Imagine having to apply leather to a jewelry box 3 times because of forgetting minor details...

ps: this won't be your last project, woodworking it's very addicting!

-Sanded the routed edges today, along with the external surfaces. Rubbed another coat of oil onto my test piece.

Its quite impressive how nice a simple coat of tung oil looks on some birch plywood.

Curosity, how much did the x-over layout cost you per channel?

Just about $50 per Xover.

I was mostly curious because I looked up your inductors brand and was shocked the cheapest one was about 10 bucks.

I ordered the 18ga varieties, which are amongst the cheaper versions of their inductor lines.

just read all 9 pages. Very impressed mate, big props!!!

One question, why did you do the routing before you assembled the speaker? I would have though you would do that after assembly so you get a perfectly smooth transition over the joints... that being said, your precision on the mitre and tounge and groove looked so good it prob wouldn't make a difference.

Just a thought, but you may be able to remover you mistake by using a different router bit. It would give you a different profile and remove more material but I guess it is an option. could be worth looking at after assembly, but before final finishing...

Fantastic project mate, look forward to seeing it finished!!!!

:-)

I guess there's no specific order in when I should do the routing.
