    Stand alone box for 2405 .....

    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.
    I wanted to add some tweeters to a pair of Heathkit branded Altec Valencia speakers I was refurbing,
    and like you, I did not want to disturb the original cabinets.
    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.
