How do you mount this tweeter?

    Contact Jason and have him give you details on his faceplate design.

    Otherwise, Zaph has examples buried on his blog.

    I like rubber bands.

    Maybe a few dabs of hot glue would secure it enough.

    Seepage can get on the dome and I may other uses for the tweet in the future.

    I have used Loctite polyseamseal in all my recent builds. It is a strong adhesive but still can be removed with some degree of force, plus it'll bond almost anything.

    I've mounted similar tweeters sort of like Jason.  The flangeless OC25 has a tine lip that can be pressed against a mounting surface.  Then you just need to anchor it in from behind.

    Lots of ideas. JR, I remember asking Jason for his waveguide design - I should have it somewhere...

    Jason, any specifics on how you mounted the tweeter in your Kozo design?
  • ani_101ani_101
    Bryan, I see that you have the tweeter recessed in from the backside of the baffle. How do you widen such a small hole? I doubt my router can get in there...
  • ani_101ani_101
    Kenny, which waveguide is that? Did you have to modify the throat opening for the Ox20? It looks like a perfect fit.

    Ani, 

    I believe if you purchase a variety of different sized Forstner bits, you will be able to duplicate BK's mounting method.

    Ani,
    It is a Denovo Audio DW-62S that I purchased from diysoundgroup. It appears they no longer sell them. I had to remove the threaded CD mount and notch the support ribs to accept the rubber bands. I might have a pair you can have(on the house) if you're interested.
    P.S. They're a perfect fit for the Vifa.

    That waveguide used to be known as the Pyle 6" WG.  I believe I have a couple here.

    I wish Vifa made a dome and RR without a faceplate that had a motor equivalent to the XT25G30/60.

    Zaph used a 1-1/8" spade (although I recommend a Forstner), 1/2" chamfer bit on his router, and then rabbeted the backside an appropriate depth. I mounted a 1" flangeless neo tweeter years ago using a similar method. 

    (Image not to scale)



    I am sure BK did something similar. I used a firring strip screwed to backside of baffle to hold the tweeter in place. There are probably fancier means.
