Over the weekend I finished the rebuild of the Phase-IV baffle. Actually the baffle was done a while ago but since my wife was unhappy having something so ugly in the house, I decided to try to improve how it looked by giving it a coat or ten of paint. There's a I need to learn about finishing.
The mid range and tweeter are now properly located in close proximity so the interference fringing around the crossover frequency should be fixed. By way of comparison, here's what the speaker looked like before. Not great, but a lot less like a building site.
The bass cab is now filled with a fair amount fiberglass insulation - I know there are better materials but this was cheap ($15 and I've used less than a quarter of the roll). Since this changes the bass response, I'll need to rebuild the crossover. So next weekend the measurement equipment comes out again.
