    Didn't you make some billet tweeter plates for these? Thought you did.
    I cannot find your old posts and wanted to check how you made the outer edges where they meet at baffle. Thanks

    I can't find the thread I originally posted that in but I still have some pics. These were all Larry's idea I just machined them. They turned out sharp.

    I've actually got a some more upgrades for these 2B's coming down the line eventually. But I'll have to put those on the back burner until summer probably.

    Did you recess the magnet to plate interface on those?
    And most importantly, were they F1 approved? lol

    I'm just seeing these on my big monitor. Did you make the backing/isulating plate out of 1-piece plastic for the magnet to inset? Thanks, Rob

    Thank you. I am thinking about just using a long strip of rubberized electrical tape to insulate the coil frame wire. Yours turned out great.
