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 .....
