I finished up the Speakers this afternoon and am very pleased with the sound. Thanks again to all!

So all the parts arrived and I’ve spent the morning soldering and installing. Unfortunately the port will have to wait until tomorrow as the center drill bit of the circular bit is too big for my drill. But I have the new caps in, the woofers and tweeters, as well as The MAHL’s installed, and the box filled with foam. A marked improvement so far and I’m expecting more punchy bass when the ports are installed. I do have a question in regards to the crossovers, and please forgive my ignorance. The capacitors are not directional are they? I couldn’t tell if they were or not so I just soldered them in. And in regards to the polarity of the squawkers and tweeters, I connected them to the xover the same as they came from Klipsch: red to red & black to black. Is this correct? Thanks again, -Jeff

Great! thanks for your efforts Claude!

Are these the lenses from DaveA? I just ordered them, so I hope so!

Hey All, First post for me, as I'm knew to the forum. First off thanks to @ClaudeJ1 for his work on this project, and the folks who've helped to fine tune this mod and participated in the thread. This thread is the reason I picked up a very nice set of 1.5's in oak from the original owner last week. I've been very pleased with the speakers so far and am using a Denon PMV 700A amp for the time being. I'm planning to do the upgrade as per the list @Treyphan put up a few pages back, and am excited to get started. Couple questions: 1. Should I drill the original backs or build a new one? I know Treyphan said he built a new back and then later said he would never sell the speakers, so it wouldn't have mattered if he had cut them. I"m on the fence on this one. To drill or not to drill? 2. I've seen some other people line the backs of the horn lenses & woofers with Dynamax to dampen them. Anyone care to comment if this is worth doing? Seems like it wouldn't hurt, but don't want to go thru the effort if won't make much difference. I'm a little fuzzy on the mid & horn pos/neg hook ups so I'll have to go back and read through the thread again. I'll report back next week when I get them all done. Thanks again for the help, Cheers! -Jeff
