turning my attention to the baffles, i trimmed the door cards a bit where there will be some contact with the audax drivers... although a 6.5" driver, the outer diameter is 7.5 inches, so it makes for some tight clearances with the door card.
I made 6 rings, with 3/4" birch ply. I'm going to decouple the rings from the door panel with butyl rope. Since that will also be the main adhesive, I drilled two bolt holes in the door panels and in the first ring for each baffle, I counter sunk a bolt in each side to match. This was secured with ca glue and wood glue combination.
then i proceeded to laminate the remaining two rings together with wood glue and a series of clamps
after that dried sufficiently, I mixed my batch of resin and slathered away... this is to protect the rings from moisture, so I don't have to worry about wood rot or warping in the event that water comes into contact with the rings
had the rings cured in time... I would have had the speakers in and wired, door card back on, and ready to move on...
oh well, tomorrow I'll just have to do double the work.
