I'll show these again of my MMG reinforcement efforts.http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b186/RodH/2006_0413march20060007.jpg

BLOODY BRILLIANT!I looked at your photos and absolutely LOVE your idea. The bad news is that I'm now beginning to rethink my own plans (grrr). I've filed your pictures on my computer for future reference if my completed project doesn't strike my fancy.
Thanks for sharing.
Below are a couple of shots indicating where I am presently and illustrating, albeit VERY roughly, where I am going. My new crossover components will arrive Monday - I can't wait!

Thanks for the pics. It looks like you have made yourself plenty of room and access to experiment with the crossovers!Anything you can do to make the MMGs more rigid should pay off, and your idea looks very interesting...almost Linkwitz Orion-like.

I'll have a sizable enclosure for the crossover, but it isn't a perfect environment for the inductor. There is a steel plate to which the plywood is screwed. The back 5" of the plywood has no steel beneath it, but the 10" angle brackets (and why are none of those things square when you buy them?) extend a little closer to the rear. I'm concerned about coupling effect with the foil inductors - maybe I should have gone with Erse Super Q inductors instead.On the other hand, I *could* just mount the coils on their sides directly above the steel and probably get inductor values approximating 2.5mH! Then all I'd have to do is add some more capacitance to have crossovers tuned closer to the MG12 specs. I'm really only kidding, but I wonder if that would work.
