usnret70-90 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Prior to sealing, staining and polyurethaning these speakers, I removed the 'ID's" from the back of each cabinet. Think I should put them back on? Even though I put a pre stain sealer on the MDF front's, when I applied the stain, the "was wood" sucked up the stain extremely fast. The cabinets turned out well but, I keep the grills on to hide the fronts.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W27 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I hope you’re feeling better. They look nice. I think you should post a question in the technical/modification section. The RF7-III’s that those drivers are designed to work in, are a larger cabinet. The sensitivity is different, and the crossover points are significantly different. You may be missing something. There’s guys there with a lot more experience than I with this kind of stuff. Maybe there’s some minor crossover tweaks you could do to get them dialed in better. Looking at the specs you may had a 2db difference between the horn and drivers. Also looks like a gap in crossover points that you’re missing some frequencies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do what you said about posting in the technical/modification section. This project sure has turned into a learning experience for me. Really, it's been fun so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanOD Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Hello, I see this is an old post, but I have a pair of RF 7’s and one of the woofers has a fairly large deep scratch in it, I put off replacing it like a dummy and now you can’t find the proper replacement. I was wondering if there is any difference in the specs of the RF 7II and III woofers that would mess with the sound? The scratch doesn’t seem to make any difference in the sound that I can notice, but for aesthetic reasons I would definitely prefer to replace it. Luckily I have a Dremel I can use to do what you did on yours, I’m just worried there are differences electronically as well. Any help would be appreciated!

IanOD Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Well I just read W27’s post and it sounds like there will be differences with the newer woofers, I guess I should have read all pages before posting! Maybe I will post a wanted ad or something, pray there’s someone with an old pair they are parting out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
