My Lambda Dipole12's arrived Wed but I had to leave town Thurs morning for vacation (car camping with friends in Lewiston, ID).
As soon as I got out of the car yesterday, much to my gf's dismay, I dragged out my saws and attacked the pile of leftover wood, pretty much winging it. I knew the general dimensions I wanted, 14" baffle and 8" wings.
My wood selection pretty much dictated the construction, hence my particle board "braces" which are really there to keep the wings from getting snapped off.
Today, I decided to add a top and bottom for added looks and strength and another layer of MDF to the baffle so I can flush-mount the Dipole12s with their 5/8" thick rim.

Here are all the drivers sitting on the uncut baffle.

Tomorrow will be the tedious job of cutting the driver holes.
I have a 2" straight router bit but it's a tiny bit too long for both of my plunge routers so I have to cut the rebate with 1/4" (Jasper jig) and then drill a starter whole for the 1/2" diameter 2" straight bit so I can cut through the baffle. Fun.
I also need to make a template for the NeoPro but if I run out of time, I may just surface mount it. I will be listening to this speaker tomorrow night.
