Monitor 4 upgrades

After looking into this thread, I've decided to make this a public comment.

Refrain from being hostile in your comments towards others. Sound is too subjective of an experience to put others down for their opinions. This applies to everyone to has engaged in this discourse on this thread and others. You can peacefully speak your opinion without personally attacking others and veering off course of what the thread was originally posted about.

I personally like when people take it upon themselves to mod their gear, I do a lot of that with my own studio gear ranging from microphones to audio hardware, I have yet to crack into home audio gear like DeRod has done here but I commend him for it. If you do not have anything nice or constructive to say, then move on.

This forum will continue to degrade if frequent users continue to be negative towards others who are just sharing their experiences. Going forward, I will be more strict on how I handle these arguments that pop up from time to time. Keep it focused on audio, be friendly towards one another, don't further push this forum into a pit of negativity. We would rather have new users who are welcomed into the community than to alienate those who can bring new perspectives into the forums.

Otherwise, @DeRod, please continue with the build, I am curious to see what comes of it.

@Ryan_Soundunited Any chance we could get this schematic posted in the Vintage Speaker section under Schematics (all except SDA)? Probably only the 2nd schematic we have existing of the Peerless days.

We have three versions of this model in our post here https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/38755/polk-audio-speaker-wiring-schematics-amp-more-all-models-except-sda

If we can get a picture of the tweeter's rear to see what version it is, we can let you guys know which version of the schematic to use.

Yeah. Those are the later models that came after the M4 that had 8 ohm Peerless tweeter plus 8 ohm MW6500. Those later models are the M4A which used 4 ohm tweeter and midwoofer and the M4 Series 2 that came after that.

The schematic that DeRod posted is the one that is the early one and is missing from the archives, like most of the schematics for Peerless tweeter days for some curious reason which I have never heard explained.

Good idea. I changed the port diameter and length, plus flared exit on 2 of the Billet-faced 5Jr's I built. It got rid of the chuffing at higher volumes.
