I'm having a blast building these C-Note speakers. Speaker 1's cabinet is nearly constructed: gluing the front on now and planning to shellac it on Friday. After it's shellacked, planning to apply a coat or two of polyurethane. No paint -- just want it to look a bit better than raw MDF.

Two further upgrades I'm making to the speakers: loading the speakers with polyfill and using gasket tape to seal the drivers in place. Still sort of figuring out how to apply the gasket tape most effectively. If y'all have any guidance on that, I'd really appreciate it.

For the crossover, I'm eager to start soldering. Do I REALLY need to glue each component down to the board? Or will the polyfill eliminate/diminish any potential rattling?

Had a great Q&A with two members of the legendary Riot Grrrl band Bratmobile. Among their most interesting and fun answers...

Punk Rock Bach: What are you listening to now?

Allison Wolfe: I’ve been making politicized playlists to channel collective rage, so lots of The Coup, Downtown Boys, Public Enemy, Amyl & the Sniffers, Sistah Souljah, Babes in Toyland, Rebel Diaz, DAM. Some current bands I love are Death Valley Girls, Amyl & the Sniffers, Trap Girl, Snooper, Linda Lindas, Roselit Bone, The Okmoniks, Downtown Boys, Morgan & the Organ Donors.

Molly Neuman: My favorite new album is Morgan Nagler’s “I’ve Got Nothing to Lose, and I’m Losing It.” It came out last week and it’s gorgeous and sincere and fun and captivating.

I can always listen to The Pretenders, Oasis, Pet Shop Boys, Raincoats, Prince and Rites of Spring.
