Seas L15/27TDFC with Hitachi and Jasper Jig

[xyrium]

Just to make this somewhat simple for other folks. While trying to route the darn recess for the speakers today using my Hitachi KM12VC and the Jasper Jig, I had to use the 5 13/16" pivot point with a 1/4 straight bit on the outer edge of the recess for the woofer. This leaves you with a little less than 1/16" of space outside the woofer. Otherwise, 5.75" was just too tight. This leaves about 1/16-1/32" outside the woofer flange.

For the 27TDFC, I routed a 4 1/16" recess at the outer edge. About 1/32-1/64" outside the primary diameter of the tweeter flange.

Again, this is using a Hitachi KM12VC and the Jasper Jig. YMMV with other routers.

Anyway, the xovers get put together next while I wait for the port for the cabinets!

Do like some of us lot do and make your own circle jig thats a perfect match for the job.

Takes about 20 minutes to knock one up but you'll get a perfect fit.

Something to consider for the next project I think since I wouldn't go to the trouble of redoing the baffle just for a small fraction of better fitment.

PS. Be careful to allow a little more if your painting or spraying since you need that otherwise the drivers will be a pig to fit.

Thanks ShinObiwan. I considered that, but I have to say that I must be the laziest individual on the planet! Had the baffles been veneered, I would definitely go that route. Certainly next time, because these were PE cabinets.
