I am in the process of refurbishing a pair or Polk Monitor 10B's the XO's have been re-cap'ed and the resistors replaced.
I am now waiting for a pair of MW-6503's to replace the bad set in one of the them. I noted the dynamat on the spiders
what does that do?

Thump the basket-- now thump it with the dynamat--

I see Dynamat does for the spiders what it does in it's automotive application reducing resonant body noise.:idea:

Is that glue on magnet and basket from factory or applied afterwards?

Shacky

JB Weld that I applied.

I have read magnet slippage is a problem with the MW650X driver. Is is a good idea to anoint the magnet with JB weldbond to keep everything in place.

Hmmm... I should do that to my speakers...
thanks

That's what I've read. I'm not taking any chances.

There are several after market on line speaker stores that routinely epoxy the magnet and plates togather on the MW-650X speakers before they are shipped to prevent the magnet from slipping.
