  1. My Dad was a member of the Greatest Generation. A kid in the roaring 20s, coming of age in the Great Depression, going to war in WWII. I can only barely comprehend the stress he lived with. Then all the shenanigans my sister,brother and I piled on top of that. Lost him to heart failure way too young at 62.

  2. I would say that on the Xilica INPUTS you definitely have to short the RCA shield(ground) to both the -(minus) input AND the ground.

     On the Xilica OUTPUTs it won't hurt to tie them together but you don't have to. The OPTIMUM way is to tie the minus and ground together at the RCA end but that requires a twisted pair cable with a shield.

  3. If you put a plate amp in the box you are subtracting from the volume of the box. The box was designed for just the volume of the driver, unless otherwise stated by box designer. This will have an effect. Good, bad, major, minor?

    Thanks babadono.  My TAD "snout" flange is threaded and has a stop on the driver side so I can only screw in a bolt or stud from the horn side and anything screwed in from that side will only go so far - flush with the flange.  So, I'm not really picturing what you're describing  where the head of a machine screw would be on the TAD flange side as nothing could be put through that hole unless it were very much smaller in diameter than the 1/4" threads.  My 691s were mounted with studs sticking out and washers/nuts on the horn side.

     

    Local HD/Lowes hardware stores don't seem to stock threaded studs of various sizes, just threaded rod of 6" or more.  Maybe they'll cut it down to 1.25" studs for me.  Problem with that is the cuts may not be clean for threading.  Tap and die set anyone?

    I'll snap a photo tonight. Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. But I do remember it was harder than it should have been.
