    Ok @msg, back on it today... 29/32" is perfect for a Neutrik slip-fit...

    Took another .080" off lock-down spoke so the lid bottom clears without touching...

    Went back and put a 1/64" chamfer on the lid. Next will grind off Neutrik square tabs and install with soldered fast-ons....

    Beautiful.

    Are you thinking about making these? Definitely looks like a lot of time.

    That is a pricey project..

    Thanks. I have enough materials to build an identical one. May be awhile before I can do another. Very time consuming.

    Working on the XS-Dreadnaught's companion boards. Will mount externally to the XS-8TL's when done....
    Measuring the Neutriks depth, Ill have to machine 1" dia alloys that are 0.75" long so the wiring will clear....

    Is that wooden metal? Never seen that stuff before.

    Surprised you used an iron core? Just curious since an air core wouldn't cost that much more in the end?

    They're all air cores, just made acetal inserts for the 2.5mH inductors.
    Thinking about machining cylindrical resistor heat radiators for them too.

    Would it be ok to lower the small tweeter inductor to the opposite end of the board running same direction?

    I don't think you would experience any issues putting the tweeter inductor down lower.

    I understand now, I like it, good stuff

    This would be easier to wire everything up and have the Neutrik right next to the TeCu posts....

    I would space the flat could farther apart... 6 inches if you can

    Like so? I can still get the Neutrik where I need it.

    All that electron delivered pigment would surely ruin their harmonics :p

    Still thinking on what fastener to use on the rear of the board to attach the driver cables before I break out the Cardas-Quad....Hmmm

    Does the factory IC actually make the connection between the Blades on the CRS+ crossovers?

    I always connect the blade to ground

    I meant was the IC connecting L to R blades in a closed circuit.

    Are you referring to a blade/Blade socket cable?

    The latter generations is not reversed between the left and right

    No, I'm asking about the factory pin/blade IC cable itself. If the blades are actually used (closed) and transfer signal like the pins do.

    They do and they don't.

    The way the speakers work the signal is connected thru the negative speaker terminals, hence the requirements for a common ground amplifier

    Connecting the blade to ground is redundant but I still prefer to use it
