I found some black #4 screws online and they fit without drilling. I got to listen to them today and I'm a little disappointed with the low end. Measurements show the port tuning is a little low so hopefully I can improve that.
Where do you source your Audyn caps - I am liking the red! And what resistors are those?
Apparently, if you accidentally click inside of the gray zone indicating quoting - you are not allowed to click anywhere else again. Strange bug.
As Craig noted, I buy the caps at PE. Most of them are cheaper than the Bennic/Dayton option, and are better looking. I'll leave the sonic signature commentary to those who enjoy that kind of discussion.
The resistors I purchased on fleabay - I have not seen them for awhile now. They ended up about $1/apiece and I had originally purchased four or five values.
I too like the Audyn Q4 (red caps) better than the Dayton, Solen, or Bennics I've used. They have larger diameter leads, a 400 VDC rating (compared to Dayton's 250 VDC), and are cheaper. I've measured dozens of them and have never found one to be outside 1% tolerance.
How did you fasten the iron core inductors down? I just built a crossover with the new Dayton inductors and missed the screw holes for mounting and longer leads that other coils have. The price was certainly an improvement.
I built my crossover on 1/4 Baltic birch and stapled a zip tie in place on each end of the inductor. I put some hot melt glue in a few spots to keep things from wiggling around. It works bu it's not as tidy as the versions that have screw holes.

Well, for some reason pictures I take horizontally with my iPhone like to get stupid when imported to a real computer, but you get the idea.
Either that, or this software does not respect my authoritay - since it has been rotated and saved and shows as such in Windows Explorer etc.
Oh well. Price we pay for pretending phones are a reasonable substitute for real cameras I guess.
