Dry fit all of the components, baffles etc. Everything worked out great. I need to loosen up the woofer mounting screws a bit since I used an exact size letter drill to the screws. I just need to center the woofers a little better is all, being that they are thru-bolted with machine screws and nylock nuts. Still not sure if I will keep these baffles with veneer and faux paint/grain the driver recess to match the veneer or just make hardwood baffles for them. Again, depending on how good they sound will decide the level of finish detail. Either way, I left the tweeter recess approx. 1/40" shallow to allow for the thickness of veneer, and also didn't countersink the cabinet screw holes all the way as of yet.
They came out pretty tidy and dead-nuts square.
I used a more conventional screw pattern for the removable backs. I will likely mount the crossovers there.
I have to say, Meniscus puts together a pretty decent kit. I liked the fact that they included 1 extra of each screw. That is telling that builders assemble these kits. Someone like me, really appreciates those extras.
I have to say, there is a lot of extra work with the details of this kit. Mostly the battens that hold the baffles/backs on, and the multitude of screws and associated drilling. Thankfully, I have a drill press, or I'd still be at it. I do actually drill pretty straight with the cordless because I use one a lot every day but this would be pushing it.
