Building my new Speakers - Cutting out the Driver Holes and Recesses
With the baffles shaped and the notches cut out for the stands, I can layout the location for the drivers and get the holes and recesses cut. I'm flush mounting both drivers and using my trim router with a very simple circle guide.
Here's a link to the video where I made that circle guide: • So Simple it's Genius / Essential Too...
Included in this video is a pretty neat way to get the centre back after you've cut it out. I made the mistake of cutting the recess to small (the tweeter wouldn't fit) and I had to re-cut it after I cut the hole. I used dowels that are the same size as the router bit to put the plug back and it worked like a charm.
This is part 4 in my series on designing making a pair of open baffle 2-way speakers to use as "surround" speakers in my listening room.
I've created a playlist with all of the videos: • Making Open Baffle 2-Way Speakers
