Step 7Install crossovers and drivers
With the enclosures taking their final form, it was time to install the driver crossovers, the speaker drivers themselves, all the interconnects and terminal posts, the ports, and some foam as sound dampener inside the tree rounds.
The crossovers were soldered together according to the speaker kit's wiring diagram and then mounted to Masonite backers using hot glue. The Masonite boards were into place inside the speaker enclosures with short screws.
Extra long binding posts that would stick through the 1.5" thick back cap were installed and then connected using the speaker wire or lamp cord to the crossovers, and then finally to the drivers themselves.
Small pieces of acoustic foam were mounted to the inside of the enclosure in between the Masonite backer boards using finishing nails and glue to hold them in place.
Once everything was wired up and installed into place it was time to put the back caps back into place. I used 8 large 3" wood screws to seal the backs on and complete the enclosure.
