Building a simple pair of tweeter boxes, part 2

This is the second half of my post series about building a simple pair of tweeter boxes for my sound system in the music room. If you would like to read part 1, here is the link to that post.

I finished the previous post with a picture of the boxes, painted and ready for the parts.

Here's a look at the parts that will be installed in the boxes. This includes the tweeters, the crossover components, and the speaker cable connections. As you can see, I wrote the tweeter specs on the back of the tweeter so that I wouldn't forget them, or misplace them.

The first thing that I wanted to do was to assemble the crossover parts to get them ready to mount in the boxes. These are second order Butterworth type crossovers, designed to allow audio frequencies above 3500 hertz through to the tweeter while passing all of the frequencies below that to ground. This protects the tweeter from getting too much low frequency power and burning out.

The next step was to mount the tweeters in the boxes.

After that, I mounted the crossovers in the boxes, and also the speaker jacks. I had to find a way to mount the coils in the boxes so that they wouldn't move around. I finally settled on using some rubber cabinet feet that I had available.

With all the parts mounted, all that was left to do was to hook up all the wires to connect the parts. Everything was soldered into place.

Here's a look at how they fit on top of the speaker cabinets in the music room.

Now all I have to do is to get another pair of speaker cords to hook them up so that I can test the system to see how it sounds. I'll probably have to make a couple of cords for the purpose, but that's pretty easy to do. It will be interesting to see if these small tweeters will put out enough sound to match the speakers in the room. I guess I'll know as soon as I can test them.

That's all I have for this post, I hope you found it interesting!
