I just finished the whole rope caulk/dynamat/crossover upgrade thing on my KG5.5s. I omitted the resettable protection doodad on the crossovers I built. It didn't seem to cause any seriously ill effects - the project still yielded big improvements. The results are quite satisfying, but the high end is still kind of forward. Especially sibilance - "S"-sounds in voices - really pops out. So I'm going to insert 1-ohm resistors in where the resettable doodads would go. I mounted my new crossovers on the backs of my speakers so they're very easy to access and tweak. We'll see what happens. Bryan

Hi Folks - So I have my KG 5.5s all taken apart while I build upgraded crossovers for them (following the design posted by "levin" I believe). I've also been reading some of the threads on rope caulk and Dynamat and such. I have a couple questions about where this stuff goes: - Should I bother putting Dynamat on the side walls of the cabinets, or just the rear wall? - Should I just chuck those blocks of foam that were flopping around inside the cabinets? - Is the idea of the rope caulk to replace the foam gaskets that the horn and drivers have? Meaning remove the foam gaskets and use the caulk instead? Thanks folks, Bryan
