What is usually used to mount all the parts? Piece of wood? Plastic? How do you ground the parts also. I was looking at pictures on madisound to get an idea and i understand that a ground has to be grounded to metal but how do i attach the metal to the base?

Do i need to build one crossover for each bookshelf speaker?

Could u start with something like this?

1) Piece of plexi, wood, anything that does not conduct works.

2) You do not ground a crossover.

3) You need a seperate crossover for each driver set.

I know that you dont need to ground the actual crossover, but what about the actual parts of the crossover? like the Air core inductor or the bennic poly parts?

Don't need to ground anything at all involved with the crossover.

I need more help in the actual building the crossover. I'm using a premade plan. Building my first speakers and crossovers. Using this plan:

In the crossover picture the negative side of the speakers has a line coming off it with what to me looks like a ground. What is it?

They're just tied together, but they're not "grounded" in the sense you're thinking of.
