Just want to say +1 on the Carpenter's Wood Glue Max. It's the best I've used.

Oh, and for filling I use auto body filler. Currently sanding the 1" round-overs on some 1.25" particle board. The bit pulls chunks out during cutting, (Particle board, duh...) that means little pits when sanding. So out comes the bondo to fill those up, it's almost all sanded off again, leaving little pink spots...

I cut the baffle this afternoon, its a wee small just the thickness of the rear oring
should it fit lush or use a tiny gap

Waiting for the 2405 I have some bindi work and those seals alle good

Wow nice work Brian.

Maybe I also should build something like that. Have the drivers lack the filters unfortunately

[srm51555]

Nice work, good to see your project coming together.

Does anyone know the deal with the o rings does the speaker sit raised on the baffle a bit or flush against the baffle I have taken the o rings off and they are now sitting flush

[JeffW]

Is there a very slight groove in the rear mounting face of the driver for the o-ring to fit half way in? Then when it's tightened, the o-ring only has to compress by half. I might be imagining things, seems like the LE14A had a groove. You can just make it out in this pic

[1audiohack]

Also note that the O rings supplied by JBL are hollow and will compress far more than a standard O ring.

I also use a bevel blade in my router and cut a smalll edge break on top of the hole in the baffle for the O ring to nest in.

O ok it compresses. That's good news. Yeas I believe the inductors from this era
Have the o ring space
those baffles with the length I add Remind me of
l100 anniversary models it will be fix after paint work

[bldozier]

So, I did not have much faith in the MDF and decided to use bb instead
just to wavy I did not feel the edge veneer would settle right with out
extensive sanding which is not going to happen in my apt bathtoom
😐

I will pick up a 5x5 this week sometime and have it cut to size and dado an
reebate it myself

the one baffle I've done needed some bondo which was my first ever attempt used
way to much hardener the 1st time it turned to a soft rubber after a attempt or
two got the consistency down & filled the port an uhf cut outs

[bldozier]

Ok.
