    Back when I personally built quite a few woofers.

    ---------------------------------------

    A customer ordered four 15s and I am just about done with the first so I took a few pictures along the build process :

    * Rear triple joint glue and ring - the ring is smaller than the gap and centered so can go down into the gap at extremely high rearward throw.

    * Close-up of the glue.

    * Spider pack is pressed with a laser cut steel plate and a Z v.2 motor to ensure good bonding of the glue between the frame and spider layers.

    * Terminals have a locking toothed washer

    * Soldered - and a dab of glue added to the stud on top of the nut and washer for long term safety.

    * Special surround glue - dries flexible and won't hurt the surround material.

    * Finished cone to spider joint.

    * Final glue bead.

    * Leads fully encapsulated.

    * Leads placed into the cone - care taken to allow adequate slack for high excursion.

    Suffice to say the NS v.2 is put together quite well.
