Until now, I have been building the baffles for the Lii Audio W-15 bass driver in two versions ..... the original version which is 7/8" thick and the "Plus" version which is 1 1/2" thick.

Because of the weight of the driver, I was configuring both for front driver mounting.

However, the more I looked at the Plus baffles I was building for the other Lii Audio drivers, the more I was tempted to make a pair configured for rear mounted drivers with a roundover on the front of the baffle.

When an order came in for a pair of Red oak / Sapele Betsy Plus baffles and a matching (but reversed hardwood) W-15 Plus baffle, it seemed like the time to see how this would work.

If it didn't, I would have some very nice wood for the fireplace this winter .....

Here are the results .....











I purchased some 1 1/2" long truss head wood screws and they are keeping the driver on the W-15 baffle firmly anchored .....

Hi Geno,

Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement .....

Every new baffle (or pair of baffles) that I build now is a true labor of love.
The positive feedback I am receiving from customers is very gratifying.
Shipping on new orders is now at four to six weeks, because I refuse to rush through a project.

I am almost caught up on current orders and have plans to work with some new hardwood varieties as time allows.

Now, if the grass would just stop growing .....

Best wishes and happy listening,
Randy

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much .....

I try to do this with all of the speakers I build ..... but sometimes the lumber does not cooperate .....

Best wishes,
Randy
