When I filled the internal tubes in the walls of the Stances, I used a dowel to crush and pack it in as I went. There wasn't any room for shifting or rattling on those when they were finished.
C'mon, Craig. You've shown us this trick before, and it's awesome. I wanna see this roundover trick done on all four sides, or at least the sides and top. Get the 3D gonkulator and protractor going!
Well this project is going in the trash now. I was installing the drivers and test fitting the push on crimp connectors to make sure they were just snug enough and not loose. Pulled one connector off of the CSS LD-22 tweeters and the whole terminal pulled out of the tweeter body. They are glued together and there are no screws so it's not possible to take this tweeter apart and repair it. Big bummer

That sucks!!!! You've got nothing to lose now, cut the back off and fix it, or cut the backs off of both and make back chambers in the box.
Yeah, I might as well start cutting into it. As you say "nothing to lose now".
I was able to take all my measurements for this project this past weekend. Very good on and off axis responses and very low distortion. Here are the LD22 tweeter and W3 mids on and off axis (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 degs).

I hear that if you crush the litter it turns to a powder that works even better. Haven't ever tried it though.
Gives the family an idea for your next Bday- daddy’s giving us hints…

Is the lead still accessible? Could you solder to it directly?
That's about a bitch.

Which ones?
Buy a pair of new.

74mm
There's a pair for sale on diyaudio.com, unless sold and not marked sold
Unfortunately no. This is what I've got:
They are 74 mm OD.

Not in a position to pay another $166 at this point.
Enhance..... enhance.....is that the tiny voice coil wire on the right side? It looks like it was soldered on perpendicular to the connector.
I hope that you will be able to repair it.
Well that sucks! I wonder if a little heat and isopropyl would soften that glue enough to get it apart?
Craig, sent you a PM
Project is back on! Bill (4thtry) had a pair that he graciously sold me at a screaming great price! Thanks Bill.
Yaaaa!
That's what I'm talking about!
The CSS tweeters from Bill showed up today so I can continue on as planned. I might be able to take some preliminary measurements this Saturday.

Gonna cross them about 300 & 3k. Ish?
First pass in simulations was 450 and 3k. Looks really good so far.
