Yes, I think your right and thanks for the help. First time adjusting crossovers.

Back at my fathers today. I tried several attenuation settings. First I tried 9 on the black wire and red on 0 giving me 9db on the mid horn or the mid at 99db to the woofers 98 and setting the tweet at 4db.Way better than 6 on the mid, but still not quite right. Next I tried 12db which should give 96 on the mid horn to the 98 of the woofer. Thought it sounded pretty good but wasn’t sure as I need to get used to the huge mid horn so I tried 15 attenuation giving me 93db on the mid. For sure went too far. Last one was 10db giving 98 at the mid matching the woofers 98 with tweet still at mid setting of 4db. I liked it but some songs sound a bit like too much mid horn. I then brought them into the house from the garage to listen and thought it sounded much better and very close. So looks like 10, 11 or 12db will be the final setting. Lots of listening left to do.

Well after being cooped up for 6 weeks because of covid gonna chance it and visit my father this next weekend who is 93 now. I know no one who has the illness. Don't want to get him sick, but we have some of his business to take care of. While there I will spend some time with the Cornscala's again with the crossover tap settings as instructed. I will take my Thumper 25w/ch amp with JJ KT77's in it with me this time. I want to get the crossovers as close as I can in the garage and then put some power to them. Should be fun.

The birch laminated plywood I used 19 yrs ago to build the vert cornwalls was bought at lowes. I don't remember any voids. If it did, they must have been minimal.

Well, I would just buy more blades. Don't see a problem.

Thanks. Doesn't sound too hard to get.

Before I changed that tap, the mid driver a 55m sounded very distorted when I put my ear up to it. After changing tap the mid sounded very clean and clear. When I stood back listening the speaker sounded much better.

Where did you find your BB?

Same here. I'm one tap down in number from what Claude originally suggested. Sounds awesome

Nice. I need one of those jigs.

Nice looking cabinets. How did you cut the hole for the woofer. Looks perfect.

Yeah I understand. I have the rear panel sealed real nice. So I only use one screw at the top and one in bottom to tighten panel, so no big deal really. This til I get them tuned.

Hey thanks Kevin. I may need to try those. I’ll be coming over to get those fabric pliers next month. Want to get the grills finished in April.

Yes, I was originally gonna mount the crossover on the rear, but didn’t want all those wires hangin out the back.

LOL, yes, open throat. Interesting stuff above.

I will follow your direction. You know way more than I do about this. I don't know how you figured the db of the drivers to get a starting point of adjustment, but thanks. Big help. I would have been going by ear alone. So your saying the woofer and mid should be at same db and the tweet slightly above?

The weight and height of your box makes all the difference. As short as possible and less then 16" on the width.

Ok. Well, I’ll try to get it straightened out, but if not I’ll have to get in touch with Dean.

Yes. That’s why I mentioned eBay. Yeah there is extra fees, but the savings on the shipping is worth it.

Wow. No I have not.

What was the problem you were having?

Yes, shipping rates are now just stupid expensive. I have been using USPS, but that can be pricey too.

Yes, that's how I understand it.

I have just whats in the picture. Thanks

hahaha, no problem.
