    Here are some progress photos of my Epic HiFi Speaker Build.

    I don’t have a lot in the form of power tools, so my neighbor was kind enough to let me come over to rip down the walnut and maple I am using for the front baffles (as well as the mdf for the remainder of the enclosure construction).  Below are the 3/4″ x 3/4″ strips of walnut I am using as a full tepth in-lay of 2 stripes in the field of walnut.

    Gluing and clamping the walnut and maple together.

    I used wax paper between the glue and the scaps blocks to keep them from being glued to the baffle.

     

    Baffles after running through my neighbor’s planer.  i really like the outcome!

    Glue and clamp the Center channel i am building as well.

     

    using the plunge router with a circle jig to cut out the circles for the speakers.

    Enclosures w/ baffles.

    Assembling the internal enclosure for my Center Channel to separate the TM’s from the W’s.

    Layout of where the internal enclosure will be monted on the front baffle.

    Gluing & Claming front Epic HI-FI baffles…notice I did not center the speakers on the front baffle; and I purposely constructed the baffle oversized to use a flush trim router bit on the right side of the speakers.

     

    Used a Sharpie to transfer the locations of the Xover component onto the xover boards.

     

    General layout of (1) cross-over network.  I split them into 2 to fit better insid the enclosure.
