Jim Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Now onto trying to refinish them. What is the best way to get the bubbling removed in order to redo the veneer? I'm assuming the plywood/mdf is the major issue and any sanding will pretty much remove the thin layer of veneer and I will most likely have to redo them. I may only need to do the tops,as the sides look fine. The risers are a little beat up also, but I'm contemplating making larger risers as some on here have done.

babadono Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 My theory is that most who listen to horns are just plain deaf. That's hilarious.... ....and true. Which came first the deafness or the horns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 44 posts for a miss connecton? Please do not fix your car/tranportation system your self. I'm sorry this does not meet your criteria for a thread needed. If you are going to make replies like this, at least spell check before doing it. Also, I don't understand what a miss connecton is either. Was that your English teacher or something? Could it be you meant something different? And if you followed all 44 posts you would have seen that it was not my issue, but an issue from where the crossovers came from. I will promise not to take up your precious time again, if you promise to learn how to spell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vondy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Out of curiosity, did we ever determine that the white spot was the positive side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Well, I missed that part of the conversation- but normally ANY type of mark would indicate the positive side of the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Out of curiosity, did we ever determine that the white spot was the positive side? Yes, white was the positive. I thought it was also after opening the front up and checking the wires. The squawker originally had the yellow as positive, and also had the white spot on it. Bob was the one who told me to check his crossover as it might have been wired incorrectly by their end accidentally. That was the issue.

Bossman Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Issue fixed. One of the set of wires coming from the crossover itself was backwards on the crossover itself. Thank You all for the input. Ok great news! So now the question, how do you like the improvement ? I have a pair of Forte II's also, and thinking about doing the same upgrade.

Jim Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 There's definitely a difference in them with all 3 drivers. S's are extremely crisp. Bass thumps more, mids are super clear. Definitely don't need as much power to drive them with new crossovers. But they seem just a tad bright for me. I will mess around with placement and toeing. Will check back with you Bossman in a few days after playing with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Sounds good Jim. I too, have recently posted a few things this week about my Forte II's being a bit bright and or " harsh " in the tweeter.. hence the eagerness for a comparison.. no rush bud.

Bossman Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Any luck with speaker placement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Any luck with speaker placement? Bossman, The issue was with my laptop and EQ. It was set at something and I reset it. They sound fine now. One of the things you can try is either using an Aluminum diaphram,or the Titanium if you haven't fixed the issue yet.
