About ready to add wings, going over all the edges with filler and sanding smooth. Screws to mount the drivers should arrive from parts Express today. Looking at the woofer wiring. Don't want to mess this up!

Nice to at least have them standing up like speakers!

Back to drilling heat sinks for the XA 252. Just read about a member here using it on a pair of Theil speakers very well. They apparently go very low in resistance, 2 ohms or so, average 5.

I have one speaker full of woofers, 4 in the other one. This is just drilling and driver fitting. It will all be undone, bass unit drilled for wiring, final fill and sand. First paint followed by fine sanding. This will be a satin finish not a gloss. Then the feet will be mounted.

Then reassembled. Yeah I'm not fooling myself. I will trash wire them for a listen!

I also have all the stripping in place that the wings screw into, and the wing's guide holes drilled through. Also got the tweeter mount hole drilled in faceplate.

Need to go to hardware store and get appropriate screws to match threads in wave guide. Mount tweeter in waveguide and mount that assembly on front panel. Need some nice screws to attach wings to the stripping.

hoping that you are taking pictures and plan to post them, my mind can only conjure up a hazy likeness ;) . I have the XA252 enroute too - looking forward to your report of the pairing with XSD..dB
I still need to drill the heatsinks for the big mosfet pucks. While heatsinks are off.I need to drill for feet and large transformer. Once boards are mounted, this will go much faster!
