The default kit options start you with a recommended “baseline” for components. You may upgrade or downgrade based on your preferences.
This design benefits from low capacitance and inductance values in the design, which allows for very affordable components. The “Baseline” kit already includes 16ga air-core inductors and quality bypass capacitors, with additional options available.

Wiring: The design plans have the crossover mounted near the top rear of the cabinet. 15ft of each color is plenty for that mounting location. If you vary the plans to mount crossovers near the base, or want extra wire for another project, the 30ft wire option is also provided. You may also purchase the kit without our wire.
We do think our wiring is the best value available. It is a premium wire without the traditional markups. We offer 16ga solid strand, high-purity OFC, Polyethylene insulator, made in the USA. Wire details are here.
Crossover board and assembly options:
To further aid in your assembly, we are offering you empty crossover boards, already sized to accommodate the cabinet and the components (4″ x 6 3/4″). We use premium Baltic birch. It is an expensive material, and not everyone wants to buy a small $35 sheet when they only need much smaller pieces. Most people will cut their own from existing materials, but for those that want it provided, the pair of boards is $10.
Complete assembly of your crossover boards is also available. $160 assembly fee includes the crossover boards and all small incidentals (zip-ties, heat shrink as needed). Assembly is for the pair of crossovers only. Assembly capacity is limited, with a 3-week maximum turnaround time, and is only offered as an add-on.
