| Once the box and the front where complete, it was time to attach
the two. Liberal application of silicone and more clamps sealed them
together and prevented air from leaking. We added a support in the
bottom of the box so that the shielding cylinders wouldn't sag or
come loose. |

| After the speakers were mounted, the electronics needed to be connected.
A passive cross-over network was used to separate the high and low
frequencies for the respective drivers. I purposely made sure that
the cross-overs would be easily accessible so that if I wanted to
change them in the future, it would be easy. |

| Before I attached the lid, I tested the speaker extensivly. I found
that the bass was somewhat weak and that the speaker sounded like
it was inside a box. Filling the air space with insulation greatly
improved the quality of the speaker. It tightened up the bass and
made the speaker sound louder. |
|
| Finally I sealed on the lid of the box and clamped it tight. A few
coats of spray paint, and the speaker is complete! |
