Are there any commercially available , furniture quality boxes for 2405 tweeter ? I recently bought a pair of L200B and want to add tweeters without modding the L200Bs .
The box would need to be big enough to house a N7000 xover ( or a simple home made filter ) and a single 2405 .
I do not know one end of a hammer from the other so this is not
a project for me .
Any suggestions ? I am in Nova Scotia , Canada .
I don't know of any ready-made cabinets like you want.Quote:

I got a pair of small wooden boxes from Michaels (A chain of resources for DIY crafters). I think the pair of boxes was under $20.
They offer larger ones if you want to mount a JBL factory crossover into it.
For my use I just wanted a simple high pass and LPad to adjust levels.
That said, all I really needed was a big hole saw (a kind of drill bit) to make the main hole for the 2405 tweeter.
I carefully drilled the hole, made some smaller holes for the mounting screws, and used a box cutter to cut a slot in the back for a cup with a banana jack.
I used some minwax to stain and finish the box, which seemed to be a light wood a few steps above balsa wood.
They are not the most robust cabinets out there, but they are a step above just raw drivers on aluminium stands, and look reasonably nice.

I don't know of any ready made either.
Since you want furniture quality why not ask a local cabinetmaker to make some for you, based on your design and requirements. Seems like the best alternative in your situation.
I made these out of plastic boxes I found on Amazon. I would like to make them out of walnut someday.
