The end of the maddness!
The 1259 drivers are wired in using 12ga. stranded OFC. Wire is crimped and soldered to the driver lugs. The D-cup has color-coded 5-way binding posts. The drivers are mounted using 1/4" Allen head bolts. I had to trim the outer edge of each bolt down to clear the lip on the driver frame recess.

| The D-cup and terminals wired and in place. The Driver bolted down.
Driver was sealed by using 1/8" hollow screen spline, glued to form an O-ring. The shiny part of the driver mounting bolts is where I had to grind them down. |
