I could do a couple layers if you think that would help.

I would say that would be better than just one layer... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/imo.gif.3a57bcc70a4835dc53e86ffae1a0b041.gif

Heres a shot of the front for the right tower. About to start assembling it now.

The circles will be cut out tonight via cnc.

The middle lines that you see are me telling him I need that depth for that ring only, while the center needs to be cut out.

Okay Ill put them up on their side. Why does that matter?

And all of those things connecting at the same point is okay though right?

The way I do it is I place all the components on top of pegboard with the leads going directly through the holes. On the backside I make as many DIRECT connections between the leads as possible then do all the soldering on the backside. Ideally you should get all the leads connected without using any wires or jumpers, so to answer your question, it is good to try to connect all at the same point as long as you follow your schematic.

Inductors should be placed at different axes, and you should never have an inductor coil "facing" another one since the magnetic field generated runs through the core of the coil.

Those xover's look like something from tinker toys but hell great job on the build. When will you be able to give us a review //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif ?

i cut my baffles with a 4 axis cnc machine. Make sure you dont cut all the way through or your baffle will lose suction to the board and start to move around, it may even fly out of the machine at least thats wha mine did the first time.

That's why you should always clamp your workpiece, haha.
