Q7
Assembly Procedure
1 | P a g e

Locate the Q7-10 Base Plate. Note that
the side with the beveled edge will be
the back/rear of the cabinet. It may be a
good idea to label this side as “rear.”
Remember any fasteners that go into
this base plate will be 2” ¼-20
fasteners with washers and red Loctite.
Locate the (2x) Q7-06 Braces. You will
fasten each of these down to the Q7-10
plate. Notice the orientation of the
braces. The small window cut out of the
top of the brace and the (2) through
holes at the top. The bottom side, which
has (3) through holes is the side that will
mount to the Base Plate.
Fasten these braces down with (x3) 2” ¼-
20 fasteners with washers and red
Loctite.
2 | P a g e

Locate the Q7-65 Short
Rails (Blue). You should
have 6 rails total, (4) of
these short rails are to be
kept as is. The remaining
(2) rails will need to have
their inner threaded
holes drilled out with an F
bit. The drilled out rail
will be mounted in the
“center” of these -06
braces. To start, attach
the -65 rails to the -06
braces as shown in the
images to the right.
These rails should be
fastened down with 7/8”
¼-20 fasteners with
washers and red Loctite.
Use (4) fasteners per rail
except for the center rail
in which you should use
(2).
Next install the Q7-03
Brace (Pink). This will
have to slide in sideways
and be inserted through
the (2) Q7-06s. Once
through, the cut-outs in
the -03 brace should line
up with the -06 braces.
3 | P a g e

Use the angled edge
on the end of this
brace to find the
braces orientation.
The longer edge (the
leading edge) should
be facing down, both
should be facing to
the rear of the
cabinet. Fasten the
Q7-03 down to the -
65s with 7/8” ¼-
20 fasteners with
washers and red
Loctite.
Locate the Q7-02
(Mint) Brace. Find
the side of it with
the
chamfered/beveled
edge. Slide this
brace. Slide this
brace in to the -06
braces and lay it
down flat on top of
the Q7-03. Do not
fasten this piece
down yet. For now,
simply leave this
brace here.
4 | P a g e

Locate the Q7-05 Brace (Yellow).
Slide it in through the -06 braces.
Instead of resting this brace on
top of the others, lift this brace
up and turn it sideways, allowing
it to rest on the inner ledges of
the -06 braces.
Check all braces to insure that
every brace has a beveled or
chamfered edge and that are
angled in the same direction.
Each brace should be angled like
so \
Now install the (2) drilled Q7-
65s (Red) at the midway point of
the -06 braces. The -65s can be
fastened with 7/8” ¼-20
fasteners with washers and red
Loctite.
5 | P a g e

Once both of the-65s are installed, bring
the Q7-02 up and mate it to the two -
65’s using 7/8” ¼-20 fasteners with
washers and red Loctite.
Install the last two undrilled Q7-65s
(Blue) to the -06s at the uppermost
mounting point. Fasten with 7/8” ¼-20
fasteners with washers and red Loctite.
Lift the Q7-05 up and fasten it to the
two undrilled Q7-65s. Fasten all
together with 7/8” ¼-20 fasteners with
washers and red Loctite.
Look at assembly from the side. Make
sure all chamfered edges line up. Make
sure the front side of the speaker has
each brace lining up flush to the front of
the baseplate. You can now lay this
assembly on its side (on a table).

6 | P a g e

Locate the Q7-04 (shown in orange). Place the
-04 in the skeleton assembly. Before fastening
down the -04 make sure all braces are flush
with the -04 and that everything lines up. The -
04 is a good indicator when a brace is not
flush, it will “stand out” amongst others. The
trick to fixing these braces will be to use a
power clamp.
Use the power clamp
to force a brace to
sit flush with the -04,
once flush, fasten
the -04 to the
skeleton assembly.
There is a chance
that the power
clamp will not be
effective. In these
cases, you will have
to loosen the
fasteners on the -65
braces and adjust
the questionable
brace.
Once this has been done, you will
flip the skeleton assembly up and
over and install an -04 on the
opposite side. Fasten the -04s to
the skeleton assembly with 7/8” ¼-
20 fasteners with washers and red
Loctite.
Fasten -04s to -10 plate with ¼-20
2” fasteners with washers and red
Loctite.
7 | P a g e

Grab the Q7-14 plate. Take note, this
plate has a large hole cut out of one
side, it should be on its chamfered
side. This indicates the rear/back side
of the cabinet.
Make this plate flush with the front of
the -04 braces before fastening down
tight with 2” ¼-20 fasteners with
washers and red Loctite. Fasteners
should come from the -04 up in to the -
14 plate and from the -06 up in the -14.
Don’t forget the ¼-20 2” fasteners
going up into the center of the plate.
You should be able to stand the
skeleton assembly up now. Check your
work against the model shown to the
right.

Unwrap and QC the Q7-17.
Check the rabbit, check
corners, and check every edge
for damage to the finish. If
everything passes and looks
good, you will put it down on a
clean table with foam and
paper, finished side down.
Locate the Q7-32 frame
batten. Install this frame
batten on the Q7-17.
Before fastening the
batten down, make sure
it is flush against the front
side of the cabinet, which
will be the non-angled
side. Fasten battens with
a 3/4” ¼-20 fastener with
washers and red Loctite.
Next up is the Q7-43
frame batten. This frame
batten should be installed
near the bottom of the -
17 plate. Positioning this
batten is a bit tricky, to
find its ideal location, use
a Q7-40, flush up against
the front/non-angled side
of the -17, and then
position the -43 batten
flush to the bottom side
of the-40. Fasten battens
with a 3/4” ¼-20 fastener
with washers and red
Loctite.
