Well I made a cutting to to cut the DE.

I took a piece of pipe and sharpened the end to punch Quarter sized circles for my drivers. I punched enough to do my 1.2tl's and my 1C's.

It worked really well 1 good wack with a rubber mallet.

    I am going to put them on my drivers one on each post. I really dont think you need more then that.

    I will post pics.

    They are a little bigger then a quarter, and a lot faster to cut this way.

    I suggest covering the spokes with more than that. A razor knife and straight edge or large scissors work very well.

    Carpet scissors work great.

    This worked very well IMO, I really don't see where you need to cover the whole spoke
    And the circles I cut cover most of the spoke.

    I put eight per driver, and it took the ring out of them.

    I did cut strips for the passive.

    I am very happy with the results.

    Good idea. Now, Pics of the finished drivers!!

    Where do you notice the improvement? In any particular piece of music or frequency?

    I would guess it is better on the low frequencies, but that's like I said, a guess.
