Section 2: Parts Included
Here is a checklist of parts included in this kit. Note that this manual is intended to cover both our Kit02 and Kit03 range
and, as such, specific driver models will not be noted.
It is important to note that each crossover/woofer/tweeter of the stereo pair is matched and calibrated. They must,
therefore, remain together and not mixed. To ease confusion, each pair will usually be marked with a number that relates
to their matching. For example, one matched group of components will be marked, say, with a number '012' and the other
set with, say, '013'.
Part Quantity Description
Manual 1 This manual.
Cabinet Construction Drawings 1 Cabinet plans. Note that information in these plans may be overridden
by information stated in the introduction section of this manual.
Port 2 Plastic bass ports to be attached to the bass port on the rear of the
cabinets (from the inside).
Crossover/rear speaker connection
panel
2 This panel contains the crossover components, speaker terminals,
and leads that connect to the tweeter and woofer.
Woofer 2 This is the larger of the two drive units.
Tweeter 2 This is the smaller of the two drive units.
Wadding sheets 2 This is the wadding that is to be used. One sheet per loudspeaker.
Blu-Tack 2 packs This is used as both a sealant and a method of de-coupling (or
damping) the drive units from the cabinets.
T-Nut bag 1 Contains 14 t-nuts that are to be located inside the cabinets to aid the
fixing of the drivers.
Screw bag 1 Contains:
•
8x woofer fixing screws.
•
6x tweeter fixing screws.
• 8x crossover board/rear connection panel fixing screws.
Terminal Link Wires 4 Link wires for shorting out the speaker terminals when being used
with one stereo pair speaker cable per loudspeaker. More information
is available elsewhere in this manual for bi-wiring and bi-amplifying,
etc.
As you can see, the hard-wired crossovers are mounted onto the rear speaker connection panels. This has been done to
keep wire lengths down to an absolute minimum - an important design feature. The speaker terminals themselves are
made of high quality silver parts.
Drivers (both woofer and tweeter) vary from one kit model to another and may use copper or silver coils. They may also
be of standard or high efficiency types etc.
