    May be I am wrong, but it seems to me that You have used metal screws to fix coils on networks, I think it is not good idea to do that. I would suggest You to use some 'plastic' screws, or glue...

    I will glue the coils when I have finished the crossovers. Maybe I have to move them. But thank you for the advice.

    Support for 2445 driver

    As the 2445 is very heavy and the whole weight is only hold by the four screws in the front panel I constructed a support for the 2445. The steel struts are connected to the screws that hold the horn to the driver and to the wooden braces on the side walls.

    If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.

    Today the last parts arrived: Pair of 2405 and Radian 1245-16 diaphragm. So I will complete the project this weekend.

    final budget:
    300€ for empty cabinets
    200€ for pair of Coral 15L-70
    240€ for pair of 2445J
    100€ for crossover parts
    150€ for pair of H93/2311 horns
    100€ for paint, screws and hardware
    280€ for pair of 2405
    260€ for pair of Radian dias
    1630€ = $1950

    Finished

    Finally I finished my project with a budget of maximum $1990. After break-in the Radian dias there was time to compare to my 4315 that I use for a few months. What should I say, there is nothing to compare to hornloaded mids from a 2" driver !!! And the Coral 15L70 woofer is a killer. Nearly same TSP as the 2235, but only a 3" voicecoil. Very very deep and dry bass. I think there is no need for bi-amping. The cabinet and vent size are within the specs of the Coral datasheet. This woofer is a sleeper and less expensive than a 223x.

    Ah, Coral 15L70 !!! Best woofer I ever had. Outperforms the 2235 especially in the 4343. Are those unused ?
