So the clips mount on the black trim ring and then the sonatube slides over it? Does the sonatube fit all the way down the black trim ring or only down to the metal clips? Again, I don't see how it could go all the way down where I belive it should be...the black trim ring over hangs the sonatube by maybe 1/32", not really enough material for

I got one cabinet done but am very leery. I cut down my clips and they are tight against the plastic trim piece that goes around the woofer (hard to explain but it is the piece that has the white rubber gasket and what you see around the surround once complete. It is not hitting the basket at all and I see no way how it ever could've. I just hope

Here are some pics... The first one is the sonatube over the driver but no screw down clips on. You can see the diameter of the tube is the same as the basket. The second is showing how the clips can go on but the tube will not fit over the driver if they go on first. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I was hoping you were going to reply! The diameter of the basket (where the metal clips would hold them down) is the same diameter as the sonatube. If I put the tube on first there is no where to screw the clips down to the driver. If I put the clips on first there is not nearly enough room to put the tube on.

I need help quick! :) The drivers are finally home and repaired, they look great. I know the 10's mount with those metal u-channels and rubber pieces. I am missing the ones for the 8's so I made some that match the ones for the 10's. However, once the sonatube is on the 8 there is not really any room for the metal clips and rubber pieces

I did, they are in perfect condition, look like they were purchased last week, not 1989-1990. I hooked them up yesterday (was out of town) and am using Bose 201's for speakers. It is probably the cleanest stereo I have ever heard, and I've heard tons of them...for example...McIntosh amp/pre with Magnepan's and a Wilson Audio Watchdog. I

I think I am going to go with the Onkyo seperates, thanks though.

I received the parts from Jon yesterday and just dropped the speakers off durring my lunch break. It sounds like they should be able to use the parts to make another good driver. Unfortunately, he said both spiders need to be replaced on my 10's, they are sagging a lot. I was quoted a little over $200 for everything. I didn't get the Rotel

[quote] Well, I'll just say that the BM8000 should be rated as " at least 100 watts continuous into 8 ohms". It's very stout power supply can deliver 55 V max to a speaker load. It does suck up to 700 watts from your power outlet. At stupid volumes, my lights dim with the beat of the music. Of course, whoever wired my house was an

Hey Jon, thanks for the reply. I am aware of everything you said, I have my associates in electronics and was a bench tech for a lighting control company for years (now manage the quotes team). The only thing I meant by high current torroidal XFMR is that the 60 watts it is producing is probably constant RMS value (at louder volumes) and not a peak
