ALK's - need some help

[Woodog]

Howdy folks!

I got my ALK networks, installed 'em, and have been listening a bit. (Thanks 2day for the smooth transaction).

I need some help, though. On this computer I cannot access the PDF file on Al's website that lists the squawker attenuation combinations. Don't know why, but this *is* and ancient machine. Would one of you do the cut/paste thing and put it in this thread?

Here's how to get what I can't at the moment...

go to www.alkeng.com

go to the 'Klipsch Crossover Networks"

go to "Installation Instructions"

Those attenuator combinations are listed in there.

Seems like a cheesy request, I know, but I won't be at my work computer until Monday and I want to fiddle with the things tonight. They sound quite nice, but I'm thinking I want a bit more squawker output than the default setting.

Right now I'm going to hop on the bicycle and head to the grocery store. Hopefully when I get back one of you kind folks will have helped me out!

Thanks in advance, and even though I feel that writing about sound is sort of like dancing about architecture, I'll put down some thoughts about what I hear.

Thanks in advance!
