I finished off the first baffle board of my 4313/L96 clones tonight. Having already soldered up the bypass caps on one of the 3113B crossovers, I quickly mounted the crossover and press fit the baffle into the enclosure. Mounting the drivers was a snap and then fired it up. I had it on one channel and A/B'd the speaker with the existing 12" based speaker.
WOW!

This was a sound trial before painting the baffle board (and too impatient to wait for a finished product)
I'd like to send thanks out to all those who helped make this possible:
Guido, Zilch, Audiobeer, Giskard, EarlK.
I need to paint the baffle board and either do some serious work to the existing veneer or, more easily, reskin it with new veneer. I'm thinking bloodwood or mahogeny


I discovered why the first sound test on the mock up sounded so badly. One of my crossovers I suspect has a set of bad caps. 3 of the 4 caps on that crossover, the wax looks like it was melted at some point. Looks Like I'm changing some caps. I'm thinking that I'll use the coils to build a charge coupled unit. Then I'll A/B that!
