Baffling!

Progress has been slow in recent times as it has been too cold to hang out in the garage. Still, there has been progress, especially on fitting the internal baffling:

Notice also that the final section of the midrange line (running along the bottom of the speaker) is also in place.

The rear baffle is angled, so this was trickier than the front baffle, especially fitting the dividers (which are necessarily trapezoidal).

A little work remains to get the upper dividers just right. All that’s left then is seating the back, then the  “fitting” is done. Yippee! So far there have been slight changes to dimensions that I’ll update. Due to the extra accommodation for the woofer depth, the upper dividers will likely be done a little differently than what’s shown.
