Let's be Honest, these Stands Make the Speaker

The stands are what make this speaker design look neat. But they are fairly complex with lots of angles and a good share of that complexity is hollowing out the base for the crossover components. After cutting the parts I used my adjustable router template to cut a recess. And while I was at it managed to chip the thin end which encouraged me to add the steel bottom plate. The steel will cover the opening, but also provide a bit more weight on the bottom to make the speaker more stable.
I used solid cherry to make the parts and had to make sure I got all of them from the piece I had.
This step in the project took most of a full day, so while these speakers will look fairly simple when done, these are among the most complex ones I've built.
This is part 5 in my series on designing making a pair of open baffle 2-way speakers to use as "surround" speakers in my listening room.
I've created a playlist with all of the videos:    • Making Open Baffle 2-Way Speakers
