    Jeez, this thread is like a high school reunion!
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    Thanks,
    I'm not going to use the diamond plate, I just cut them for fun since I had the laser up and running. I thought Image Tec did a great job with the silk screening.

    People like you are becoming harder & harder to find. it seems as if more and more people just want to be paid and not work for it.

    Ok i pulled the drivers out, and was looking at the stuffing, has the stuffing settled? should it not be behind all the drivers?

    Yes, the stuffing in your speakers has slipped down. Push it back up so that it is behind all of the mid-drivers.
