It will be covered with carbon.

I've bent 16 massive kopper tubes to connect the focal crossovers.






Then i made the screws shorter so that it all looks better.




The holes in the aluminium are equiped with LED holders. Now i have a good isolation between the the kopper and the aluminium.

at the end of every kopper tube i'm going to fasten some speakercable.


The aluminium part which will become the frontcover of the crossovertay has been chromed .



The aluminium parts which need to guide the kopper and the piece inbetween the carbon will also get chromed.
This will make it easier for me to keep everything clean in the future.

These alumium plates are made to be mounted on the side of the crossovertray.
The previous ones have been removed because they didn't completely fit the rest of the design.


De aluminium parts on the side of the crossovertray have been replaced so the they have the same look.
Attention to detail...
I've used the old router.



Afterwards it all got polished.

This is the complete set up, you can see that everything worked out pretty good.
It's not easy perfectly line up the 16 tubes, and the fact that the connectionpoints on the cross-over aren't even in a straight angle doens't make it easier.


The kopper connectors have been sanded and clearcoated

As you may know, I was working on the front bumper.
Meanwhile the bumper has been painted and I’m really satisfied with the paintjob. I also took the opportunity to paint the sub-box.
So I had something to do while the paint on the bumper was drying.
First of all, I made all the copper shine, and put a layer of varnish over it.
Soldered the cables and put some shrinking tubes over them.

The alu plate where the copper gets through got chromed. So keeping it clean, won’t be an issue any more


This is the result of lots of thinking.



Here the carbonkevlar and the plexy cupola is on.


Almost like fishes in a goblet







I’m really satisfied with this in particular. Trying to get the copper right where it had to be, was a really big challenge.
Still a lot better then some ordinary cables, don’t you think?
