Nice work.

 

What woofer is that?  I see an American flag which is used by Eminence IIRC.  

 

You seem to have plenty of room in the dog house with almost an inch of clearance on either side.  I read that some of Bob Crites' woofers don't fit if only by a smidge.  They must be close, though. 

 

Did you widen the design of the dog house?

Thanks, the woofers are eminence kappa 15c. 
 

I think the clearance looks a little more that it is but yes, I made the motorboard 400mm wide to make sure the woofers fits comfortably.

Looking Good!  I see the autoformers got a little roughed up.  They were fine when I sent them.   I should have mentioned that when I wrapped the common wire on the barrier strips,  I intended them to be on the crossover side.  It will work as you have it, but it will be easier to connect/disconnect the cables from the amp and to the drivers.  

If the amp is still on, as you connect/disconnect a + wire it will be too easy to touch it to the common wire below it.

Where’d you get the material?


It’s just some leftover material that I had. I used it to re-cover some old Wharfedale speakers on another project. 
 

If I recall it was off eBay for a few pounds.

Quick update on these.... I did a little testing with the drivers and crossover this week, while I am still waiting for the mid horns to arrive, unfortunately, one of the woofers was dead! 🥺

 

School boy error, I bought them used a few months ago and never tested them when I got them..... anyhow, every cloud has a silver lining, I’ve now managed to pick up a pair of K33 (round magnet) drivers from Denmark, so the complete speakers will now be using all original klipsch drivers and horns.

Insulated jumper combs are neater than wire jumpers:

Its been a short while since I updated here so for anyone that may be following the thread, here is a brief update:

 

I have now installed braces to tame the resonance of the bass cabs and have knocked up a pair of wooden horns to use until the proper ones turn up...... whenever that may be!
