I think what I'm going to end up doing is putting the woofer/phase link half on the bottom of the cabinet lying horizontally, and the dome half lying horizontally on the phase link subenclosure. I'll have to rig something up and play with it a bit for the domes, but Martin's right - don't want to lose any of these huge Solen capacitors

[quote user="9 LEE"] Thanks indeed! A great number of people get a great amount from this site, but not many 'give something back'. I don't mean money either - far from it.. I just mean product reviews, scanned manuals, posted manuals, photos of their equipment which are better than the ones already onsite, corrections to info

This half will be installed where the original full crossover network was originally hung. There's plenty of room on that cross bar. Tomorrow night's goal will be to get the caps and coils glued down on the circuit boards for both halves of the second speaker. I must resist the temptation of mounting the crossovers and getting down to some listening

Then I got out my MAD TETRIS SKILLZ again and laid out the other half of the crossover network (for the two domes). Here is the end result. If you look in the lower right of the picture, you may see a lone wire sticking up next to R10. That's where the hot side of the tweeter gets hooked up. Though it may not look like it, this half had just as

[quote user="Evan"] Love those crossovers Rich! I can see why you were so excited! [/quote] Thanks, Evan. Tonight I came home and ate Irish food cooked by my Irish-American wife and then got back to the M70s. But before describing that: Happy St. Patrick's Day for those who celebrate such things (you know, people like my wife)! I raise

My first thought was to mount this board on the removable speaker back in the approximate location shown below. But as I was typing this very post, I thought maybe it would be a better idea to mount it on the bottom of the speaker box. I'll have to think on that a bit. I anticipate mounting the domes crossover board in the original crossover location

And here's the bottom, where just a bit of soldering was needed for the final connections. I didn't snip any wires down on any of the pieces in case I made a mistake or wanted to rearrange or whatever.
-
Here's the top of the fully soldered woofer and phase link board, with resistors added. If you look closely you'll see two terminals glued to capacitors. That's where the "hot" leads to the drivers get soldered.

Is the suspense killing you? Well, the answer was "a crossover network"! But of course you knew that. I used (and reused and reused again) my MAD TETRIS SKILLZ trying to figure out how to layout the crossover network for the M70 with these gigantic Solen capacitors. The first key was realizing I had to split the crossover into two boards:
