"MoZi" A Sealed 2 way design

[stephenmarklay]

I'd suggest sanding the sides of the baffle so that the gap on the sides is uniform.

Believe me, I know what you're going through.

I really would like to try this. I can’t do the shapes but the BB sides are great.

It's been a little bit since I've posted, I these should be all finished by the end of the year. I finished up the tweeter mounts. I used 1/8" hardboard t make the cup. I will seal all the seams to make sure it is air tight.

I had the CNC guy cut holes in the pieces to use dowel rods to stack them better, but I still think that are off. :/

Just a press fit with a test baffle. It seems like the cutout for the baffle is not square. If you look at the straight on shot, you can see that it is not a square fit between the cab and the baffle. Any thought on how to square it up?

Simple way to know for sure. Get out the tape measure and verify the baffle dimensions, and use a T-square to check for orthogonal corners.

It's easy to screw up stacked ply layers and get them slightly off, one layer at a time.

leave it as is, as long as you have some contact and they are glued and wont rattle

I need some advice. The vertical and horizontal brace didn't come out as planned. There is about a 0.5" x 0.5" gap. I can just glue and clamp the areas that overlap and ignore that space or I can try and use a wood filler or something else. Thoughts?

Water based semi gloss varnish, about 4 coats....

Those look nice! I am trying to figure out what to seal them with. After the sanding the BB Ply looks really nice. I was thinking either a straight shellac or Danish Oil.

what are you planning to use to seal the cabs?

[Ironman129]

Got a couple hours of sanding in after the cabs were glued up. Took a little bit to get all the burn marks out from the CNC router, but they are looking pretty nice. I plan on keeping them as natural looking as possible. Thinking about a danish oil. I am going for the "Migico Mini" look. Anyone use Danish Oil on Baltic Birch? other recommendations?

Coming together nicely! That looks pretty good for a first run of the crossover, nice job!

I learned from another project that you should regularly clamp when gluing layers together. I did every 3 layers on the R/L and every 2Layers on the CC. Still think I am going to nee to seal inside and out.

Since Pete was making progress on the XO, I figured I better get moving with the cabs. R/L are sealed at 0.3cf and the CC is sealed at 0.6cf. There was some issues with the thickness of the BB ply. ended up going with bbb grade and I am happy I did. No visible voids and it looks nice and uniform. Should be able to glue everything up tomorrow, then it will just be sanding and polyurethane.
