They could have placed that outside the box, then you could see what you are paying for.
Like this Wilson Speaker, you get a $$$$$ WOW Orange paint job.- post # 102

When I saw these I thought, " When did Home Depot start selling speakers?" (They even have wheels.)

Kagesaru, i think peeps have asked files from various persons in this thread, while i dont have a 2d file i have uploaded .step files to my printables page @ https://www.printables.com/model/628716-bneck-speaker/files V2 is the one with changes suggested by the person who is cnc'ing mine for me. hope fully might be of help to you. i am no expert and its all done by guess work on my part based purely from the pictures in this thread
here is a test cut he did

cross over is on the first page that almost everyone is using i think, the Fe85s are harder to get hole off in the uk/europe
I appreciate it. Shouldn't be a problem since I'm US based. Tweeters on Parts Express are back ordered so browsing around now for another source.
I made a pair using the Dayton RS100 as an alternative to the FE85. Very pleased with the result
The dimensions and specifications of FE85 and RS100 quite different. Besides the mounting hole change, did you make any other modifications to the upper sealed chamber or the crossover?
Just noticed there's 4 versions of the RS100 4ohm/8ohm and Aluminum/Paper Cone. Which do you go with?
I used the 4Ohm Aluminium RS100 and the same volume as the FE85. I did tweak the crossover after measuring the individual driver responses.
Good to know the dimensions stayed the same. Would you mind sending/sharing your crossover design? This will be my first project and I currently do not have a mic for measurements.
Here you go.
And here is the response from measured driver response. I'm not convinced I measured the rear facing tweeter properly however.

I feel you need to rolloff the woofer more to reduce the peak in the passband. Not rolling it off can't be optimal. It also needs to be rolled off by 200Hz so the localization does not come into play for the side mounted woofer position. No worries, the RS100 should be fine this low.
The tweeter is a 13mm, and the 4.7uF is likely too large to make it happy. I think the 1.5mH is also too large, but being a 2.2ohm dcr it's contribution is more of a contour. Even so, it's a bit of a boat anchor on a 13mm tweeter.
My 2c,

My 2c,
That's a typo it should be 0.22 - small difference in the response - thanks for pointing it out.
